We finally were are able to make over Carter's room. He has been asking for a skateboard/extreme sports room.
Here is what we did:
1) Painted the walls a cement blue color to resemble a skate board park. Matt saw this paint sitting in the oops paint shelf last summer and grabbed it thinking we could use it somewhere in the house, the best part was it was only $5. It turned out to be the perfect color to paint Carter's room.
2) Spray painted his furniture and bed a high gloss black with metallic shiny knobs. They all turned out so crisp looking. The down side is you can see the dust collection really well.
3) Matt made some very nifty shelves that resemble a skate ramp that are above his bed and wrap around to the window. They turned out so perfect for the room. Matt also made some thicker shelves for another wall above his dresser to put more of his boy stuff up. He has so many team pictures and trophies that these shelves are perfect to show off his rewards.
4) I also added some skater and bmx bike wallies to his wall. It made the room look more put together with our theme.
5) I am in the process of finishing a curtain and making a window seat cushion to make a reading area for him.

We all are pleased with the results of the room makeover.
