My son wanted a fun room that was also grown up. He settled on a surf-shack theme with the stipulation that we didn't go the the darkside with a Honolulu cheesy tourist theme. Thankfully we're surrounded by incredibly talented men. My husband cut surfboards out of plywood, and my brother-in-law painted them. He also painted the palm tree that hovers over the bed. Thanks to a fabulous deal on a bed-in-a-bag at Walmart.com, the theme felt complete.
We included a book nook using a boat shaped bookcase that I picked up at a garage sale. The boat was painted hunter green and better suited to a cabin theme, but a couple of coats of turquoise spray paint and it looks ready to paddle across the North Shore. And we added a few vintage berometers that I also picked up at garage sales.
Take a look--let me know what you think!
Love the way it turned out
