My son's racing bedroom completed... check it!

[Mecom Racer]

I finally finished my son's 'big boy' room (he'll be two 7/30) and wanted to share it. Now I have to figure out how to get him to sleep (stay) in a real bed all night so the new baby can get his nursery and crib.

Sorry that some of the images are a bit blurry but it was getting dark and my camera doesn't do well in dim lighting.

You'll notice that I made a few essential modifications to the Lightning McQueen bed! A few details to point out... the coat rack is all different types of shifters, the lamp is an actual cam, the oil cans are vintage, the toy chest looks like a stack of tires, the curtains were made from a spare set of the bedsheets, the dresser as you may remember is a spruced up IKEA unit...

He's a lucky boy!

That's my challenge right now... he saw the curtains for the first time last night and started crying and tried to pull them down. Then he didn't want to leave the room to go to bed in his nursery. I just don't understand the menatality of a 23 month old. :willy:
