Boys' Room {Details & Sources}

All right, now that we've gotten the big reveal over with it's time to share the boys' room details, as promised...

I've been so floored by the response to this room; of course I think it's pretty fabulous, but it's so exciting to see that a lot of you do too! Warm fuzzies abounding; hearts and daffodils and lace doily-covered puppies, y'all.

First up, the nook art details:

Clockwise from top:

• Oakland A's pennant from the awesome 80's - via ebay
• Octopus (actually cuttle fish, blah blah blah) graphic I made from this free image from The Graphics Fairy. Aidan loves
• Paper Mache "S" from JoAnn with a spray paint treatment to look like galvanized metal
• 8x10 canvas with dimensional stickers - it's the Cub Scout motto, y'all! Originally I was planning on spraying it all white, but I sort of like the splash of brown. Even though they're glitter stickers. Shhhhh. 
• Airplane photo because Wesley loves planes. I can't remember where I found it, and it's not super high res or anything... but you can't tell unless you're up there licking the glass. And if you are, we've got bigger problems on our hands.
• 50-cent metal house number from my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. No special meaning there, guys. Just a 3.
• 1963 rusty Idaho license plate (we live there, ya know) - via ebay

And here's the other side of the art-filled corner:

Clockwise from top:

• Map of the beautiful Salt Lake Valley, where both of the boys were born (the younger on the first day a new giant hospital was accepting patients... talk about chaos city). Oh, and where we still have a house. Want to move there? Anyone? ...Bueller?
• Black and white vintage graphic of a compass (my boys are into camping and scouting right now) also from The Graphics Fairy 
• Piece of old wood siding left over from my barnwood "art" project -- another random addition. It's outdoorsy. Maybe. Sort of?
• Airplane blueprint I found online somewhere.
• Bicycle graphic I made using regular ole Microsoft clipart. My boys sure love their bikes, you know.
• Plastic house number I also found at the ReStore, also for 50-cents. Spray painted this number green. Just 'cause. Again, just a number, no special significance!

Second, the wire magazine rack I found at TJ Maxx for $12.99 several weeks ago and seriously wish I had bought two of... love. It gets its own detail section simply because I secretly want to steal it from their room. Those numbers, by the way, are my boys' birth weights (5 lb 15 oz and 7 lb 3 oz). Aww, I know. I'm too cute, right? 

And last, someone asked how I managed the boys' clothes. Last year I got rid of their wimpy set of plastic drawers and built them a custom closet that came in at right around $80. Best thing ever, no joke.

Each boy has a closet rod for their shirts, 3 bins (socks, underwear, and pajamas), and a large shelf for pants and shorts. Shoes go on the floor and the third closet rod is for coats and things like that. There's room for all their games, and as you can see the majority of the long shelf above the rods is still empty. What you can't see in the photo is the long 12-inch deep shelf (the rest of the closet shelving is 16-inches deep) above the door opening that houses sleeping bags and stuff like that - love that sneaky little storage increaser. Hop over to the closet post to see more photos.

So there you have it -- a few of the requested details. For even more (sources, links to projects and products) please see the massive list below. And if I've forgotten something (which is totally possible) that you're curious about, please feel free to comment and I'll do my best to get the list updated.
