This beds and headboards walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
POW! BANG! Superhero Boys Room By Cheri!Hello Bekob! 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.
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 striking 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 clearly 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.
