Then I found this online:
This inspired a whole room of dinosaur awesomeness. Now, just because I showed you the Pottery Barn room, doesn't mean our bedroom looks quite like the PB room. However, we took our favorite elements that we could afford and/or could re-create ourselves and tried to put our own spin on things!
Here are a few pics of the befores, the in-progress work, and some afters of the final space! Sorry for some of the blur in the photos. I'm still trying to figure out camera settings that work indoors on my camera...and not having the greatest luck!
Paint sampling...
First coat of green done...
Checking out our matching skills with the bedding!
Owen's big boy bed...all set up!! Meet his sleeping buddy Dino.
Our take on the painting from the picture above. I have a post coming on the before and after of this project! I could not be happier with how it turned out!!
Some shelving solutions! So frogs aren't exactly dinosaurs, but hey...at least they are amphibians and some of their ancestors were dinosaurs right?? (I may be wrong about this fact, but they were a green lizard-ish option!) Also, the triceratops on the top right side of the shelf is a lamp we purchased online that came with assembly instructions. More on that soon :)
Fun decals we found at Babies R Us that tied in pretty well! They match some sheets we bought for Cooper's crib. We put the decals on the wall between the bunks.
And on the back of the closet door!
Canvases that Jer and I made...I also plan to do a post about the process for making those!
It's hard to capture the room in one sweeping shot and get the overall feel of everything. But I couldn't be happier with the final results of the room! There are lots of fun touches and I feel like it is a very neat shared space for our boys!!
