I love using a blank canvas to help make a big impact in a room. They are inexpensive an very versatile. I have been wanting to use a large canvas in my son's room for some time now. The only problem was that I was to cheap to pay for them! Michael's finally put the exact size (24x36) I wanted on clearance for $25! Simple craft paint in red & white and I have a personalized piece of art! This was super easy and only took me about an hour plus drying time!
Dive Flags warn boaters that scuba divers are in the area! We snorkel alot during the summer and the flag is a constant necessity for us. The flag means alot to my son. He loves the ocean and wants to be a Marine Biologist one day. He is a walking encyclopedia of sharks.
So naturally his room reflects his love for the water.
This was a bare blank wall before!

Wow! Lacy I adore this room. You have created such a neat-o place for your son. The pops of red against the neutral paint is fantastic. Love the buoy frame and collection of sea animals in jars. So cool! It makes me wish it was my room. I know he loves it.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for entering my giveaway and your kind support of me and my blog. You are so sweet to post it up on your sidebar too. Thank you my friend.
Happy week and good luck with the giveaway!
Warmly, ~Melissa :)

I love that artwork you made! His room is so cute. Love all the ocean themed accessories. I wanted to be a marine biologist too when I was growing up near the ocean, but that changed. Thanks for linking to my first party.
ReplyDeleteThat is easy, and smart! My girls would love this room, so much cool stuff to look at!
ReplyDeleteLacy, you are very clever. This looks great for your son's room. I like all the details that accent this room as well. I'm sure he thinks this is cool.
ReplyDeleteHi Lacy! What an absolutely wonderful room you have created for your son! I am starting to gather ideas for my son's room when he "graduates" to the next level of big boy-ness! :-) I also wanted to tell you that I am adding you to my blogroll (can't believe I somehow haven't done that yet!) and that I adore the fact that your daughter was Mary Poppins for Halloween! In a sea of girls trying to grow up too fast it was delightful to see one dressed as something feminine and wholesome! :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Vanessa
What a fabulous idea! The room is just darling! Love all the details.
ReplyDeleteWould love for you to stop by this weekend and link up to Passion for Paint!
Lucky son! Goes well in his décor :)
ReplyDeleteOh Lacy, I love ALL the decorations in this room. It's like a treasure hunt. How cool. The artwork ads that wonderful drama, the perfect touch. I agree with Hawthorn -- lucky son! Thank you for sharing this room on the Boardwalk Bragfest. It's an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou have created a wonderful place for your son, and how special, to have a piece of art created just for him! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! The scuba canvas is a great and easy idea! I'm sure your son loves his room!
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea! I love the pop of color and it went with the rest of the room so well!
ReplyDeleteFirst let me say how much I appreciate you following my new blog! A million thanks! It means so much. You have been entered twice in the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThis room is adorable! So many things I love, the canvas idea, the room's theme, the layout- especially that big bean bag perfect for tv watching/games. Every little detail. It's all just perfect.
What a nice room and the art work is the icing on the cake! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment about my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.

Well, that was easy and made a great impact on the room. Clever!
