Vintage Car Room

Navy Plaid Rug ($487) – I have small obsession with this rug. I love the plaid. I think it would add enough color and enough of a statement but won’t take away from the other great pieces in the room. This rug is super durable and easy to clean. It would be great in this Vintage Car Room and just about any other Boy Room. Rug comes as a 5’ x 7’ rug.

License Plate Map Canvas Art ($180) – I’ve seen the original of this piece by Aaron Foster made from real license plates. It’s incredible. But these print canvases are just as cool. You can find variations with backgrounds in blue or chocolate.

Antique Blue Double Dresser ($189): This vintage looking blue dresser has ample and storage with 8 drawers, rounded edges for a softer look and can come with a matching headboard.

No Lead Sign ($65): If only gas still cost $1.01. This No Lead Sign would be perfect above a dresser, bookcase or desk. Sign is 18”x22” and would add a great vintage feel to the room.

Nautical Room

nautical Nautical  RoomLooking for something unique in your Nautical Room. Instead of hanging a shelf and putting a boat on top—use color blocking on the wall. This takes a shelf and boat from ordinary to extrordinary. The technique visually expands the space, draws your eye to the sail boat, and makes it a focal point on your wall.

Train Room

railroad1 Train RoomWe wanted to offer this railroad crossing sign, but the fact of the matter is, it is just too EASY to make yourself—and costs under $15.00.
Go to a home store and buy 2 pieces of wooden fencing, these slats were about 4″ wide. One slat becomes the vertical anchor. The other piece is cut to make the 2 cross pieces.
Paint the pieces in a couple of shades of brown/grey, that will give it more depth. Once it has dried, distress the slats further with a little white paint. Remember the distressing should be subtle and not harsh, smudge and wipe as you go to give it an aged look.
Stencil the word CROSSING on one cross piece and RAIL ROAD on the other cross piece. Leave space between the word RAIL and the word ROAD so it will align properly.
Layer the three pieces of wood and screw together.
Don’t forget the details—paint the screws—you don’t want shiny silver screws.

 

 

railroad2 Train RoomThe painting technique in this room was wonderful. A linen technique was used so the paint is not a flat blue. Small lines, in a slightly darker blue, simulate stitching and ran vertically around the room. Other small hand-painted lines ran vertically, every five feet—again to simulate denim stitching.
A plain denim comforter is used with pillows in coordinating fabrics. If you can’t find a denim comforter go to your fabric store and you can sew your own denim duvet cover–it’s only four straight seams!

Blue Room

blueroom Blue RoomAn inexpensive way to give a canopy look without the heavy feel of a canopy bed. Often a child’s room is too small to carry off a large canopy bed—but your kids love the look. The solution: rods are afixed to the ceiling and to both sides of the walls. Sheer white fabric is draped through the rods and puddled on the floor.

Paint your walls and use white as the unifying color. Your room will pull together quickly.
