Kids Room #2- Airplanes!

The airplane theme started when I found two cast iron airplane wall hangings at the Morrow Memorial Turnover Sale back in 2008. Since then we've acquired a variety of items to make it a one-of-a-kind room (check out the "Fun Decorative Details" photos below!)
Before:

Mom, once again, donned her painting clothes & got the painting done.  Happily, this bedroom also only needed one coat, even over the bright pink!

After:

Radiator screening is complete!

One item that needed attention was the radiator cover.  The radiator is hidden in the bottom portion of the built-in shelves.  Only it wasn't so hidden since the frame was missing it's metal screening.  It only took Mike about 10 minutes to remedy this (not including the trip to Lowes, which always takes at LEAST an hour!) 

I'm loving the room...
it is big enough to hold the play kitchen, the table & chairs, and a bunch of stuff on the built in shelves.

My son is also loving it- he keeps walking in & proudly saying "Mine". 

We still have to replace the ceiling fan with one that has lights (all of the bedrooms have ceiling fans without the lights).  I'm not sure why you'd install ones without lights- perhaps the previous owners just preferred table lamp light?  I'm worried we'll find out a bigger reason once we start pulling them down!  But I have my eye on a few that will go perfectly with our airplane theme... we just may need to bring in an electrician.
