May Challenge: Project "Projects" {Boy's Bedroom - Part 4}

How are you all coming along with your projects this month?  So much fun to be wrapping up unfinished biz around here, that's for sure!  In fact, we have been so crazy busy with family obligations and baseball fields and everything in-between, that taking a minute to work on the kiddos room has been my way of de-stressing.  Yes, I know I am not like most....

Today shows how something simple can make a big impact!  If you recall, I last left you with the finished stripes and bedding in the kiddos new sleep zone:

Lets chat about the bedding for a second since many of you left a comment asking me about that in the last post.

The quilts are actually oldies from Target, {you can spy them in this ancient bedroom pic}.  They still have similar versions here.

The navy stripe European pillows are from HomeGoods and were $9.99 each!  Yep, SCORE!

The toss pillows were from an extremely incredible Etsy shop, and are done in Dwell Studio fabric.  I have plenty of extra pillow inserts laying around from the days before I realized I could just replace pillow covers, vs. just pillows...

I am still strong on the idea of slip-covering the headboards.  Red with white piping will be divine.  It will also break up all the stripes and give the room a little extra softness!  Can't wait to look into that idea more!

Now, back to my weekend project.  Art!

We already had some airplane art in silver frames.... however, with the bed frames being silver, along with the lamp base... I decided to switch things up a bit.

I actually used some old wooden frames from our lower level and removed all of the glass/backing/etc...

I gave the frames two coats of Glidden's Red Delicious.  The paint was a little on the thin side so the wood grain actually still was showing through a bit when the frame dried, and I was VERY happy about that.  It gave it a great touch!

Once the art was inside, it couldn't have looked more perfect!

Showing what an itty bitty teeny weeny art-tastic time investment can make in a space!

The kiddos have been all smiles about their new space!

Which totally makes this mommy giddy with glee!

We are still on the search for some box springs... started on the closet and have some great under bed storage ideas swirling around!  The new light fixture some show up this week {YES!} and I have a map idea or two up my sleeves!

Anyone else hang some new art this weekend that left you feeling all ooey gooey happy inside?  What do you think of the red frames?

I decided a little challenge would be fun! This month we are getting all those projects done!  Any project big or small counts!  Wanna join?  Take photos and blog about your awesomeness as you go!  I am hoping to do a giant, "We did it!" celebratory post where we can all link up our project completing success stories at the end of the month!
