This past weekend...we were on a mission. It wasn't even my plan going into the weekend to redo my son's bedroom, but he has wanted a science themed bedroom since we moved into our home this past summer. Something came over me Saturday morning, and I said to him - let's go pick out some paint!
First of all, I was painting over a wallpaper mural that was in his room - I loved it, but it just wasn't for him. I researched how to do this, and bought Kilz oil based primer to paint over the wallpaper first. Then,
I put 2 coats of semi-gloss charcoal gray over the primer. Next, I used my acrylics to create the Milky Way (or any other celestial outer space body - I'm not so sure it really resembles the Milky Way, but I wouldn't know that for sure anyway - & what counts is that my son loves it!).
He has under-bed storage for all sorts of toys, a moon phase night light mounted above his bed, with a framed pic. of him at the Museum of Science in a space shuttle.
Here's his dinosaur fossil corner...
And words above each window....
Our mission: COMPLETE (almost). I'm going to add 2 black shelves above his bed for his microscope & other science tools to be displayed on. And, I'd also like a science themed area rug....
I have to say, I love that this room redo made his room look so neat & organized!!

A scientist for sure!!! I bet he LOVES it! ;)
