Xander’s Superhero Theme room Reveal

I’m so excited to share with you Xander’s superhero theme room! When we moved into our house Xander moved from his nursery to a big boy room. At the time, he was into He-Man (daddy’s old toys), but we chose the superhero theme. It’s an interest that most boys have at some point in their life (and some boys never outgrow).   Now a year later, Xander is obsessed with all things superhero, so it worked out perfectly.   It was difficult to photograph the room and give you the “entire picture” . Once I get all the other details complete I may add some video. Here is a picture, just days before we moved in. BeforeAfter Bedding: Pottery Barn Kids, Night Stand:  Ikea Hemnes (repurposed from our Master Bedroom), sleigh bed frame: Regency Furniture, Rail Road lamp:  Pottery Barn Kids, Growth Chart:  Washington Capitals, Decals above close door:  Transformers (Toys R Us), Wooden Letters: Purchased at Michaels and decorated by me BeforeAfterBatman canvas artwork by Splash of Color 4 U!, Bookshelf: Target, Roman blackout shades:  Bed, Bath and BeyondBeforeAfter Tall Dresser: Hemnes Ikea (repurposed from our Master Bedroom), Superman lamp shade and He-Man prints: Ebay Book shelf: Pottery Barn Kids Madison 3-Shelf Book Rack The projects I’m most excited about in Xander’s room are the fabric bins and his wooden letters. The bins were my first pinterest inspired project, which led me to the tutorial here. Before: After: Left of book shelf:  Book Shelf:  Pottery Barn Kids, Canvas Bins:  Target, Left of bookshelf: Storage bin full of large Transformers, Right of Book shelf: Bat cave $5.00 deal at a yard sale last summer The wooden letters was my very first Modge Podge project, which was a lot of fun. I collected old and new comic books for quite awhile to put them together. Love how it turned out! I adapted the directions from The Party Wall. Instead of using tissue paper for the sides I painted them with acrylic paint, which was so much easier. After the Modge Podge application I finished the letters with a gloss acrylic spray to give them some shine. I’m super excited with how the room turned out. It’s rare that my vision of a room ever turns out the way I want it too. His room totally did. Score one for mommy this time!
