The mural was done with painters tape, acrylic along with normal wall paint for larger areas. His walls were the grey when we bought the house, so I wanted to incorporate those instead of repainting- I hate rolling paint;). The bed was an old family hand me down, after stripping down several coats of paint I left the metal base color- it's nutrual and works well in any boy's room. The desk was an old dresser and an old book shelf I've had, the striped were from his old room so I distressed them a bit, rubbed stain over them (the same as on the wall shelf) and added his initials using red paint and the stencil I bought for his name on the wall. The bedding is Pottery Barn Star Wars flannel sheet set, PB bed skirt and the quilt I found on clearance at Target. The shelves on the wall, I designed and my husband built out of scrapwood in the garage. I stained them with a black stain and left them distressed a bit. The shelves were a way to display his lego's and other stuff. Under the shelves are 2 cork board squares and 2 chalk board/magnet boards from Pottery Barn outlet store- I think I paid less than $2 a piece! The light fixture was the one from my childhood home, just whatever the builder put in my bedroom. My parents took it down years ago to put a fan in, but had not thrown it away. I was thrilled when I found it and they were happy to get it out of the garage. I painted the brass black and it fits in perfectly with his tall ceilings- I wanted it a bit lower, but we were concerned with it being hit.
