When we moved into this house in September, we were surprised to see that every single room was painted a different color…except for the two boys’ rooms. These rooms were white – total blank slates. I had a chat with the boys about what “theme” they would like and they answered with the obvious: Super Heroes!
Now I know in the design world, a themed room is like the tackiest thing you can do. And to some degree, I think they are right. However, I feel like this is one area I have to let go. When I was growing up, I had so much pride in how I decorated my room. I picked out the comforter, hung up my bulletin board, and styled my bookshelf just to my liking. I want that for my boys too.
But enough of my tangent! My vision for the room is to be quite classic (so it grows with them), while still embracing the super hero theme. I also wanted to include something “Mamma-made” for each of them. Hence these pins:
My plan is to pick a pattern for each of the boys, cross-stitch them on linen and then make throw pillows for their beds. I’ll be sure to share when I’m finished!
, I quickly pinned it and put it on my Christmas list. After I briefly flipped through it on December 25, it sat on my bookcase untouched…until this week!
