The Prairie Kid's room needed a "makeover." His walls still had decor from when he was a baby on them! Now he's pushing 7 and it was high time to do some updating.
Before Christmas I started asking questions about what kind of room he would like. On Christmas I gave him several items to do the room update.
I finally got around to actually doing the update today!
It took me all of 30 minutes (including sewing the window cover) today and cost around $15.00 total. That's my kind of project; cheap and quick! I did spend some time on the clothespins before Christmas...you'll see those in detail in the pics.
Here's the result:
Wall decals
Sports pics and window cover (I will probably add a valance)
The pics are just paper from a scrap booking pack. We already had the blanket so it was perfect to tie in the green walls with some dark blue
More sports pics and then the ribbon with clothespins to hang things at his level

The clothespins have sports paper decoupaged on them andthey're embellished with buttons and puffy sports stickers
The Benji poster was The Prairie Daddy's when he was little. I lowered it and hung the basketball hoop on the door
More wall decals
It may not be some elaborate masterpiece but for a little time and a little money I am sure we'll have a VERY happy boy after school when he sees his "new room."
