Comic Book Baby Room

Finally finished painting Bumpy's room. It can be considered either a Comic Book Room or Cartoon Room. It's like you're actually in a cartoon or comic.

Basically we picked this theme because we thought it would be different and fun. There are so many cute ideas out there! We didn't know how it would turn out, but we love it. I want to go in there all of the time, it's such a happy room and the only room in the house which is painted a different color other than white. To create this look we picked bright comic book colors and then lined every corner and angle with a thin, hand-drawn, black line – whether on the ceiling, on the crib (thanks to our neighbors for the cute awesome crib!), or around a plug.

We thought of the idea and then did a search online for it and loved how this Hotel in Berlin did it. It's nothing fancy. I think for the most part we're done with the room except for the blinds and of course adding a few organizational bins with labels.

In order to save space and money, we had Steve from Revolution Builders build us a built-in toy box / window seat and bookshelves around the window. Then we painted it yellow. Don't worry, we will be adding protection to prevent falling out of the window. We also had him redo the closet shelving to add a changing table and additional hanger space, so we didn't have to purchase drawers, toy box or a separate changing table. The changing table can be used as a desk when he gets older. Steve was super fast too, did all of it in 2 days. If you want to get a great deal on built-in shelving call Steve at 801-450-9387.

  3. It looks amazing! The bright colors are perfect for a baby too. I didn't notice the black lines until you pointed them out...so subtle, but add a lot to the feel of the room. I love the color of the door. Now it's time to get Bumpy here :) All in good time...I know he needs to cook a little longer.
