JJ's Garage....

My five year old grandson wanted a car themed bedroom, so I've been having fun pulling things together to make this happen for him. I was lucky to find a bag of car stickers at a yard sale... I simply pulled off the paper backing on each sticker and adhered them to sheets of magnets and cut them out. He has a metal bed (locker style) that he can stick and restick these sticker/magnets to..... *fun times, fun times*I also hauled over this fabulous antique armoire. I picked up this beaut for only $10.00 at a yard sale. I had it standing straight up in the trunk of my '66 Mustang as I drove down every side street possible to get it home.... miles & miles I tell ya!!!It is an old Pilots locker that came from our local airport years & years ago. I added some more stickers to this wooden armoire using double sided sticky tape.
I was lucky to find a stacked tire toy box to go in his room. I cut a wooden circle and covered it with burlap and plastic to make it a nice side table next to his bed. The two hubcaps were a great find at only $1.50 each. *score* The three galvanized metal boxes were only $5.00, another great area for placing the magnet car stickers...
I am in the beginning stages of making a garage sign for my grandson's bedroom. The plywood circle I had cut was very rough, so I filled in some knot holes and other grooves with some paper clay so I'd have a really smooth surface to paint on. Next, I printed out the image I wanted to use and transferred it to the boards surface using transfer paper. Easy peasy.All I need to do now is paint it. I think his room is off to a good start!
