The boys are growing up so quickly it is hard to keep up! Lately my oldest has been into space. Of course what my big one likes my little one follows suit. In this case, since my boys share a room, it is convenient. So, I decided to change their more 'babyish' room into a space & space robot room. My husband was a little lee than thrilled with my idea. All he can think of is the money behind redecorating a room. This left me with some figuring out that needed to be done- I need to redecorate their room in a space/space robot in a inexpensive way, that in interesting for a toddler and preschooler, without painting the walls (as per my lease). Yikes!
I have purchased a piece of art and new area rug from Target for less than $25 each. No my husband was not happy with that- he really didn't want me to spend ANY money.
We also found a poster at the Children's Museum- $19 wasn't cheap but I couldn't get a better price on posters.com so I went with it. I still hangs unframed, but it is laminated.
I made a robot out of wine corks and scrapbook paper that was a hit and cost roughly 55cents!
I ordered robot pillow fabric- had them printed on organic fabric and I stuffed them with organic cotton filling. I made the two largest and still need to make the 2 smaller. Luckily for me the artist is allowing me to sew, stuff and sell the robot pillows on my site. *I am super excited about this! The only preschool items I will have on my site will be themed from my boys room. How can my husband complain about that- it's fun!

I found 4 pieces of scrapbook paper that I am using as art for their wall- I hung them but they need more. They are frameless now- so I think I will back them on cork board and glue on shoe laces or ribbon around the edges to create a frame.
I had a set of mini corkboard- one I transformed into a mini memory board with a mini space invaders fabric I had printed on organic cotton fabric. *Another one for the store!

My friend is making a custom robot nightlight for the room. Her shop is located @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/ksleepy. She fuses these glass nightlights and they are so neat! *Another one for the shop!

This room is going to be spacetacular when it is finished! That, though will take a little but more time. I will keep you updated.
