Ty-ger! Ty-ger!

We moved here 3.5 years ago.  Ty was given wonderful tiger bedding from my mom when we moved.  Ty's room was to turn into a tiger-themed room.  My plan was to start painting his room in a tiger theme shortly after we moved in.  But alas, here it is, this many years later and it's finally been done.  Better late than never!

Ty is super-thrilled with his room.  I wasn't too optimistic about how it was all going to turn out, but I must say, if I were a 9-year old boy (and a boy who LOVES animals, especially tigers), I'd be pretty excited about sleeping in my "new" room.  That's what he calls it--his NEW room.

Here are the pictures. (Sorry, no "before" pictures to compare with. The wall colors were the same color as the ceiling--if you are able to tell from the photos--a sort of taupe color (rather boring for a boy with Ty's demeanor--orange is a much better choice for him!).

Ty's Tiger Room--finally finished!!!!

This is the wall opposite the foot of his bunk-bed.  It took a lot of time to paint all the tiger stripes--I bought a stencil on-line from Jan Dressler Stencils--a very good quality product;

the tigers above the window frame are stick-ups

that I bought at The Dollar Store.

Tiger bedding ensemble--Ty loves his bedding!

The color of the wall that the bunk bed is against is 

coal blue--a compliment to the orange fiesta.

Ty lounging in is new room with "Hobbes", his stuffed tiger.

Doesn't his tiger look real?

I bought these framed prints at a liquidation centre

over a year ago, in hopes of finally getting Ty's

Tiger Room finished. 

This wall is just orange, to off-set the crazy tiger stripes.

I love these stick-ups.  They fit perfectly above the window;

Ty says they are about to fight. 

Their names must be Mitchell and Ty.

Good-night from "Calvin and Hobbes"!
