Tyler's room redo

We've never fully decorated Ty's room since it was a nursery so we thought it was time. We wanted to make sure it was something he would like so we let him decide the theme. He & I looked online at tons of bedding sets & he fell in love with a pirate set. Stu decided it would be easier to just take the kids to grandma's & pop pop's & let me work on the room in quiet. It was tons of work but I definitely think it was worth it & best of all Ty loves it.



Here he is enjoying his new room. His favorite mural is this one of him & Alvin in the crow's nest. I painted the walls a lighter blue also.
Another mural. It's hard to see, but it says Tyler's treasure.
You can see the curtains mom worked so hard on. I told her I wanted to make something that looked like a sail with rope going through it out of a drop cloth. She totally pulled it off for me. So glad she was there to help or I would have never gotten it all finished.


This is a quilt mom made for Ty. It has pictures from his pirate party & all kinds of pirate flags.

A little fun time.

Tyler sleeps on the bottom bunk so I thought some portholes beside his bed would be kinda cool.

There it is, I still have a few small things to do but it's pretty much done. Maddie kept saying "ooh ooh let's go to Maddie's room". LOL I had to explain I only had time to redo brother's room this time.

Thanks Trista. It was so much work. I did freehand the images on transparencies & then chalked them on the wall & painted them in.
