It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's LL's Bedroom!!

Whew! A month later we finally finished Little Lion's airplane bedroom! I'm glad to be done with it and it looks super cute! Here are the few before pics...I should have taken more!
As you can see we painted the walls sky blue since we are doing an airplane theme. After getting half way through, we were a little concerned it was going to be too blue and make the room smaller. We forged on determined to finish.

We thought the sky needed sun! We put the sun above the door. I used my 5th grade teaching knowledge to make a perfect circle by holding a string in the middle and chalk at the other end of the string and drew. (click to see better)Mr. E painted it yellow Did you know that yellow and blue make green???? Sooo it took 3 coats of paint to make it yellow. I drew triangle rays and painted them in....3 times!
We had some left over orange paint from our family room and decided to add some depth to our sun. My mom got LL airplane sheets and comforter set. Too cute!We ordered from Ebay 2 biplane decals for the wall. They were pretty easy to put up and just the right size! LL loved them!

My idea was to sky write LL's name from the biplane. So that was my project while Mr. E sponge painted clouds on the wall.
Here Mr. E is working hard on clouds!
AND PRESENTING THE FINAL AIRPLANE BIG BOY ROOM PICTURES!


I love it and LL loves it too! I think this is a great kids room where imagination can flourish!
