Amazing Superhero Boys Room!
Hello Remodelaholics! I’m Cheri from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar. I love to blog about home decor, sewing, photography, crafting for boys, and whatever else interests me.
Today I’m stopping by to show you the Superhero Bedroom I just finished for my little guy. The room was lavender with an irredescent kind of shimmer from the previous owners. It had hand-painted hearts and rhinestones around where the mirror used to be. There was nothing boyish about it. We needed a change.
Well, it doesn’t look a bit like it did now. You won’t find any pink or purple in here. Let me give you a quick tour.
It all began with a sketch I showed my dad. I wanted to have a bed with a city scene painted on it and a sign like Batman’s, but with my child’s name featured. This is what he built.
I painted the whole thing and then added the cityscape to the front and side.
I asked my mom if she could paint something like these posters because you can’t buy them anymore. I bought a hollow core door for a canvas because it’s huge and a lot less expensive than a canvas. She rocked the painting. Can you tell my son liked it?
I found fabrics with colors I pulled from the painting and my mom sewed this beautiful quilt.
I hung up an old telephone picture I had. Superman always changes his clothes in a phone booth, you know.
I made a superhero car (inspired by the batmobile) out of cardboard. It’s got lots of layers, so it’s actually really sturdy. My boys love to play on it. I got the “pow” and “wham” stickers from an etsy shop.
I made a fake newspaper article about my superhero son to put on the wall. I had it blown up as an “engineer blueprint” at Staples so it only cost $2.99! I mounted it to a thin sheet of MDF. I decided to paint a green frame behind it because the color was super close to the wall color. My sister wrote the story in the newspaper and it’s hilarious.
Last, I added a framed print that has a special meaning to us.
And now my work here is done!
If you want more info on the room or if you’d like to see a video tour, you can find my final summary post HERE on my blog. You’re welcome to visit me there anytime.
This superhero room is so cute. I love the blown up newspaper article!
I love it. So cool.
I love the painting of the superheroes. I may attempt to do this. Obviously your mother and whole family is extremely talented! Is there any tips for me to be successful in this project??
I love it! The idea of using a hollow door as a canvas is brilliant! Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to try it out in my boy’s new room!
What program did you use to make the newspaper?
