Having two artistic and opinionated boys results in a lot of not-so-subtle parental guidance towards room decor. I have already talked about some of the decorating we’ve done in the boys’ shared room in my boy room decor, part 1 post. In this post, I’ll talk about the art gallery arrangement we have up on the wall to display the copious amounts of artwork the boys seem to churn out. Younger brother also finally gave us his approval on what he wanted for his part of the bunk bed, so we have the finished rocketship bunk bed as well. Hooray!
Here is what our art wall gallery looks like. The IMAGINE letters were cut by my husband and painted by the boys. I strung picture wire on nails to make the two rows. The wooden turtle, train, sailboat and soccer ball were purchased at Michael’s and also painted by the boys. They are there to cover up the nail heads.

I used clothespins to pin the pictures to the picture wire. We cut out the stars from scrapbook paper, then glued them to the clothespin for a fancier look

My son shows off how pleased he was to finally have someplace he could display his work.

My husband dressed the boys in preparation for their help with painting the rocket ship.

Little brother was very intent on helping

Big brother was much better on spreading on a thin coat of primer, as opposed to the glupping on that little brother was doing.

And…ta dah! The finished rocket ship bed!

Can you spot the three year old? He loves his new, sleek rocket ship bed.
