A Boy's Room {and a Free Printable}

Just a few months ago we moved into our new home.  It's been fun putting each room together.  It's slowly getting there.  Slowly, but that's okay.  Today I'm sharing some of my favorite parts of the little guy's room.

 This airplane canvas idea came from this pin I found. The best part was that we all contributed in making it.  The kids painted the 3 canvases with sponge brushes and a tube of blue paint, the hubs made the paper airplane, and I put it all together.

In the picture below you can see how I hot glued the bottom of the airplane to the canvas.  I used skinny white masking tape for the trail.  Fun!

In one corner of his room sits a solid wood desk we got off craig's list for $20.  It was banged up and in need of some serious love.  I painted it with Annie Sloan chalk paint and added some spigots I found on Etsy. 

On top of his desk sits this curio box for his special treasures.  Right now it holds a M&M car, a minion, a hot wheels car, a couple rocks, a shell, and a souvenir Lego brick.  This are precious things people ;)

Above his desk hangs this gem I found on Etsy.   ♥ this.

In the corner of his room hangs this felt garland I strung together.  I cut circles from felt and strung them together with a needle and thread.  It hangs from the ceiling to the top of his desk.  When air flows through it twirls a little.  Adds a little bit of whimsy ♥

Every little boy needs a place to hang his cape when he's finished crime fighting for the day.

I've seen this kind of print floating around pinterest and loved it. I made my own printable version and will share it with you today.

I used a clear 3M hook to hang the cape below the picture frame.  I think it's my favorite part of his room ♥

Halloween Jar printable

I am so excited that I am actually a wee bit ahead this year with halloween.   Let's just hope I stay on a roll until christmas ;) To kick off the spooky season, I am happy to share my first printable with you!   

this is the first time I've tried offering a printable to share, so I hope it works without a glitch ;) I printed mine as two to a page to get it to the size I wanted.

You can attach a little creepy crawly bug for giving to classmates.

I found a big bag of bat rings at Walmart and attached those to the card.

I love the Halloween colored baker's twine.

You can see here I just cut a slit in the card and pushed the ring through to hold it in place.

You can use these to make as cards for family, too.  

add a couple sweet little thumb prints and turn them into spiders.

Find my printable Halloween jar here

enjoy!
