Roman & Raphael's great room makeover of 2011

When I was pregnant with Raphael I knew that once he turned 1, Roman would be turning 4 and it would be a perfect time to make the room a shared room (yes Raphael has slept in our room since birth). I can't believe its already that time. Its seems like just yesterday I was puking up water and eating enough pineapple to sustain a small smoothie operation. Well, Its April and Roman will be 4 this month and Raph will be 1 the first week of May. Roman has been obsessed with Spiderman for a year so the theme was a given. I knew I wanted a vintage feel to it, an old comic bookish feel, and I wanted it to be as chic as possible, not just spiderman thrown up all over and low and behold leave it to Pottery Barn....


But since I don't have an extra $3,000 lying around I had to search for acceptable alternatives. I DID get the sheets, That adorable red shelf and the huge Spiderman decal from PBK.com but that was it. So here are the cheaper alternatives. What do you think?

 Bunk bed from Walmart.com you can also separate them into two twin beds.
The bedding is also from Walmart.com I read half of the billion reviews and everyone said, "looks like its from Pottery Barn!" 


Sooo heres the stuff I did get from Pottery Barn.

oh yea, got the throw pillow



I found this lamp but it was $80. Thank goodness they offered just the shade for $20


This rug is SUPER nice its 3x6 and the white stars glow in the dark.. THEY GLOW IN THE DARK!
I found it on Overstock.com for.... wait for it.... $70 WHAT?!?! and the stars glow in the dark you say?... that is awesome!!!


I'm a huge fan of allposters.com.  You can order artwork for real cheap and frame it yourself. I got this and had them make it a wrapped canvas. I can't even tell you how awesome it looks, definitely other than the rug my favorite piece.


gotta have a bean bag


And then theres the Ikea stuff, the TV stand ..

and I got two of these for inside the closet

and lastly the door sign I made from a comic book and scrap booking paper


I started buying pieces one be one in November so it wasn't too bad and I've spent around $1000. We did have to get mattresses too. So the makeover is scheduled for next weekend, and I'm so excited I'm gonna burst. Be on the look out for those pictures!
