I have been working on redoing Seth Man's room for about 4 weeks now. {I cannot wait for summer break so I can work on all the projects swirling in my head}...I painted his room an amazing blue/grey color {Blue Blood colormatched at Wally World} over Spring Break. Seth's room had a slight "cowboy" theme and it was long time for something new! He plays baseball and loves it, so I decided to do a room with hints of America's favorite pastime with a vintage feel. I have been killing myself on redoing a dresser for his room...it was in serious need of revival...more to come on it later... I have been trying to figure out storage needs for this lil boy hence the dresser above. I was trying to think of something that could house his baseball bats and his massive collections of oversized NERF guns ;) when I remembered an old barrel my MIL gave him for his "cowboy" room...it was in the attic because I never knew quite what to use it for... It dawned on me that it would make a great storage option for these taller items....so up to the attic I went. I brought it down and taped off the metal rings around it. Then I lightly sprayed it with Heirloom White not really caring if I covered it completely or not. Then I printed the verse from Take Me Out to the Ball Game and traced it onto the barrel, went over it with a paint pen and then used my sanding block to scuff it all up and make it feel really old!!! I love how it turned out and Seth thought it was a really cool addition to his ever transforming room...I cannot wait to have it all finished!!!!
Here's one more picture of it just because I LOVE IT so much:)
