So, I'm gonna make his room fun. I recently sold his changing table and hutch {I just love craigslist!} and have decided to convert his crib to a full size bed {skipping toddler size} and giving it to Trenton {his room reno is another blog, another day}. I've arranged the purchase of a race car bed for my transportation fan. I also have plans for ordering a few other things like a traffic light, some personalized signs {"Carter Only Parking" and whatnot} and will be making some license plate book ends... once I find some old license plates. I have a ZILLION ideas, but have to reign myself in so his room doesn't end up looking like a bar {Scott's comparision, which made me laugh}.
I'm excited! I'm a 30 year old mother of 2. These things thrill me.
Here's the bed...
...and I'm building off that. Some street signs, vintage gas station signs, and a traffic light as decorations. License plates I'm going to bend into bookends. Stuff like that.
I bought a TON of cute stuff at Target today. I still need to hit up Hobby Lobby and some antique stores.
Squishy Nightlight - CLEARANCE!
Cool License Plate Picture - CLEARANCE!
Reversible Pillow. The other side is a blue car. - SUPER CLEARANCE. They are discontinuing this line of the circo bedding, apparently. PERFECT timing. I got the last ones and there was already a notice saying they were completely out and wouldn't get more.
I got a rug very similar to this. The stripes are more even and there's LOTS more light blue in it.
Mom and I are going to ikea tomorrow to pick up some furniture for little man's room. I can't wait to get started on putting all this together! Hurray!

That's hilarious, a bar!!
Now, all you need to do after all the decorating is done is build a Hotwheels ramp that goes around his whole room!! With all the loops, turns, hills, etc... :-D
Love it, it's similar to the way I am redoing Trais' we are going with a retro feel but everything that has anything to do with cars. If you haven't already check out hoppy lobby they have some really cute stuff with the automobile theme.
I am going to hobby lobby and antique stores to find some antique toy cars and an antique gas pump. lol, he would LOVE a ramp all the way around the room. he'd never sleep, lol.
