A Disney Themed Bedroom (B)

So, we have had a very sick house. I was sick, and then little HJ got sick, and then I got sick AGAIN with what HJ had. Probably due to my already taxed immune system. That second one was a doozy too. We are both still congested, but it's getting better; at the least the fevers are gone. 

Anyway, as promised, Hubby Jr.'s Disney Themed Bedroom:

Did you know Home Depot used to carry a line of Disney paint colors? It's true. I was sad to see that is no longer the case, but it really isn't That big a deal. Hubby Jr's room would be just as cute if we painted the doors, both the entry and closet, "black" rather than "Mouse Ears."

All the trim is "Goofy Yellow." It's the color, in my opinion, of Mickey's shoes, but I remember thinking when we picked it, "what does yellow even have to do with Goofy?" His hat is green, his shoes are brown, his pants and shirt are blue and orange! I don't know, but it sure looks cute. 

Two of the walls are red and the other two are white. It's rather striking. Hubby Jr was over the moon the first time he saw it. Red is far and away his very favorite color, and it's the first thing that hits your eye when you walk in the door:

If you are wondering why the drum kit is up in the window box, you may remember from my snow post that we live in a condo. Just because kids like to get up and play at 7a does NOT mean the rest of the building is ready to hear it that early! The drums only come down when it is socially acceptable. 

I was really excited to find the Mickey Road Rally bed set since it's Mickey, but still racecar so it ties in Lightning McQueen.  He started out with a blue and red toddler bed featuring Lightning McQueen on the headboard, but as you can see, we've graduated to full McQueen, well twin, but you know what I mean:

The dressers are fun. The tall one was a pretty plain hand-me-down, until the new bed came with some extra stickers! The short dresser came from Ikea. It started out with pink drawers, but Hubby used the trim yellow to match the dresser to the room. You can't even tell they were once pink:

He also used extra red and trim yellow to paint two white shelves we picked up at Lowes. They are adorned with hats, a few stuffed animals (HJ doesn't really care to play with stuffed animals- he's such a BOY! Ha), his piggy bank, and one of his Potato Heads all decked out for Disney! 

His big bookcase of toys, train table, Lego table, art easel and circus tent round out the room!

Oh yeah, and if you are wondering about the snowflakes- they were a surprise from D.A. (his Elf on the Shelf). They are still up because HJ loves them, and it snowed here as recently as this week. They will be coming down with the time change though- at least until D.A. returns this winter (we can talk about Elves and my torn feelings on the subject then). 

As you can probably tell, all of this didn't happen over night. It's been about a year in the making for us to get here. A lot has changed in that year and HJ's room has evolved- big things like growing out of his toddler bed or getting his train table for Christmas and little things like figuring out a cute way to incorporate his art from school into the decor or adding a special space just for creating art at home. If you have fun theme ideas I'd love to hear about them in the comments (HJ probably won't love Disney forever- sadly). And feel free to leave suggestions!
