Car Themed Bedroom for my future hot rodder *Pictures
 

My wife and I are expecting our first on the 26th of this month. I have been wanting to do a car room for him. My architect/designer wife stated that he will not have a car themed room, but that I could add a few pictures....well I think it is a car room now! I have been bringing some stuff from the garage and found a few things at hobby lobby. The pictures are of my friends 55 convertible and my fathers 47-54 chevy project trucks that we took this pat weekend. I built the shelfs in the closet a few weeks ago. I think we are as ready as we can be! Hope he likes cars! :D

Very cool.

HAHAHAHA! That looks GREAT! He'll love it.... Of course it might be a couple years before you find that out.

MUCH better than Baby News!! You got way too much time on your hands tho!! Lol!
Is that light what I think it is? :thumbsup:

We got the light from Ikea and the Edison bulb from lowes. I was digging the shop style light.

Better get a good rocking chair in there, Wifes gonna need it.

That's the rocker she wanted. It is a Eames rocker. It's actually very comfortable. Glad the mother in law bought that high dollar chair!

Congrats on the "Little One." You'll have tons of fun and tons of diapers to change! Nice room.

Looks great, good luck!

Congrats on the little guy! Cool room too!
I hate to even bring this up but....How are those 3 pix of the patina Chevys mounted to the wall above his crib and is that glass? If he's anything like my 2 year old when he's able to stand, he'll find creative ways knock those off the wall and you have a major disaster on your hands. (Or even if someone slams his door too hard.) There's potentially similar issues with the shelving above the changing table too. They learn to use the drawers like steps very quickly.

Sorry to be a downer but we have Dennis the Menace for a son and have discovered that anything that isn't welded to the floor can and will be destroyed, used as a weapon or amusement park ride, a medium for "decorating" furniture or target practice. He does it like it's his job and he's extremely proficient at it. I can't possibly imagine where he gets it from...:_paranoid

When we had our first (my daughter) we had no idea how to make the house really "child proof". Infants are one thing, once they're walking they do the seemingly impossible. Don't ask me how I know...
