Pirate Room Reveal!!

We are Done!!!!!

It's been a long road to this 

Pirate Room!

I have so many posts to show ya how and what we did every where, 

but couldn't wait to show you the final product.

I promise to share everything over the next few weeks.

Remember where we started?

We made a few changes to the design along the way, 

but I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

So come on in and take a look around!

(Love that old cork board we got at DI)

Come in all the way!
Yes! We built those beds!
(I'll show ya more on that endeavor later.)
(For now let's just take it all in!)

Now turn around and take a look at those faux doors behind you!!

(Go here for to see how I did them)

Here's their lovely closets all filled up!!

(I love beautiful organization!!)

OK, lets check out some of the details. 

 These are those amazing shelves "I" built.

(check out that story here)

 I didn't show ya earlier, 

but I painted the back wall with orange craft paint. 

I filled them up with items I've been collecting from second hand stores 

and things the boys treasure.

I spent around $10 to $12 per boy on decorations for their shelves.

For example: 

Flor de lis paper weight $1.99 each

Pirate bust $1

 (Quinton's was free, from Daddy's mission memorabilia)

Ship models $2 each

Anchor $1

Frames 25 cents to $1

Ships wheel free from a friend

(Use to be a clock, thanks Becky)

You get the idea!

I love how the window seat turned out. 

 I used a scrap of decorator fabric I got for $5 to cover the cushion.

(Show ya more on how I did the cushion later)

And one of my favorites is the bamboo mat we painted!!

I'll do a post on that,

but let me just say I picked it up at DI for $6.

The same mat retails for $60!!!!

I just love these detailed frames I found at Salvation Army for $1 each.

I hung them over the window.  

Here's a close up of the Pirate Captains I put in them!!

Remember the ice bucket with lion handles?

We put them on the beds.

Only problem was I only had two, 

but they had some babies!  

But that is also another post, 

so stay tune!!

Les "made", 

yes

 I said made

 all those awesome crates under the beds!! 

 I can't wait to tell ya how he made them 

and how we spent only $5-$6 dollars per box!! 

I'm so in love with them.  

In fact I'm trying to figure out where else I could use some!!! 

Oh, back to the Pirate Room, 

these crates give the boys lots of storage and saved us from having to build drawers. 

Here's a few more finds for the room:

Wrought iron keys from Tai Pan Trading

Old barrel from DI

Old map from DI, cut up and put into frames I already had.

Framed Sailors knots free from a friend.

Oh, and don't forget to look up!

  Here's the ceiling painting I did.

So, there you have

 a Pirate Room 

the Batchelors Way.

You may notice there aren't really any skull and cross bones.

(OK one on Branden's pillow he made)

I promised Quinton this would not be a baby room, 

so I tried to make it more like a Pirate Captain bunking quarters.  

Quinton approves!

My favorite comment so far was from the carpet guys.

After showing them the room they were to lay the carpet in, 

they said, 

and I quote,

"I've never seen anything like this." 

"This is like Disneyland."

(By the way, we did not lay our own carpet. 

But we did purchase a remnant.  

Which saved us 50% off a higher quality carpet.) 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our Pirate room!!!

For fun I made a video so enjoy and let me know what ya think!!

I really need some comments after  a year of labor!!!
