Painting Aiden's room

Aiden's room was declared a governmental disaster zone a few weeks ago. I finally got the guts to go in, strip everything out, and start over last week. I had discussed with Aiden what he wanted his room theme to be, and once we saw this, we knew it was perfect. So it began. We still entrenched in reorganizing and decorating, but here is our progress thus far.

Before (dun dun duuuunnnnnnn):

That's his new Ikea loft/desk we got for FREE off Craigslist. Good score on that one.

Step one has been painting his walls blue:

And his shelf green (shelf was also free, given to us by a neighbor:

So that's where we stand now. I need to order the decals, which will be awhile since they're kind of pricey and I need to save up for them. Then I have several smaller projects to complete the room, including painting his toy box to look like an NES and making a wall clock into a chain chomp. All in time!
