At the end of the summer, we lofted our 7 year old's bed. We wanted to get him a desk and have a reading space with a bean bag, but since his room is on the small side, we knew we needed to be creative. Thankfully the hubs is pretty handy, so between his ideas and some loose plans that were inspired by . . . wait for it . . . Pinterest, he now has a hanging bed.
His room was redone in a football theme. I use the term "theme" lightly since I'm not a "theme-y" kind of girl. I prefer to keep things simple with a splash of "theme" here and there. He needed the space in his bed and below his bed to be lit up. I started at IKEA, shopping for lights that we could mount on the wall.
I found lights that would work and after hunting around Michael's Crafts for a while, discovered a little thing called glass paint. With some blue painters tape, a brush, and the glass paint, I got busy and turned those boring old white lights into something that is more suitable for a growing boy's room.
