Description
The room was designed for my son Kix Atticus. We are a soccer family and Kix is OBSESSED with anything "ball". I painted the soccer mural background and the triptych canvas paintings. We kept everything low cost with shelving and dresser storage from Ikea. The locker nightstands were purchased through KidKraft. The soccer bed was handmade by Kix's PawPaw. He loves to show off his "big boy" room! Designing your kid's space? Need modern art? Check out my Etsy page to order your custom canvas artwork! You name it, I'll paint it! http://www.etsy.com/people/sassyfred8?ref=pr_profile
Design Inspiration
My inspiration started was the theme soccer of course! My husband really wanted his favorite soccer team's logo in the room, so my challenge was to try and incorporate that in a "kid friendly" way.
Decorating Style
Clean, happy and organized.
Project Details
We love the book "I Love You Through and Through". It served as a perfect inspiration for the artwork above the bed. My dad did a FANTASTIC job creating the bed for Kix. It's something completely different from anything we have ever seen.
I also suggest getting good pictures! I found a high school student that is planning on majoring in photographing when he goes to college in the fall. He got some great experience and I got amazing photos!
Favorite Items
The bed and the locker nightstands.
Advice
Just have fun! It's a kid's room so just imagine what you would like to have at that age.

The artwork above the bed really grabs the attention. It is so sharp and clear, and it drives the theme across. I also think the bed is awesome, especially with the fact that it was made by Kix's grandpa.

Soccer really makes a fun and exciting theme for a little boy's room. I like all the soccer-related items here. And the bright red colors give the space such a strong, dramatic effect.
