apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Charlie's Cars, Trucks & Robots
Small Kids, Big Color Entry # 21


thumbs up

Name: Charlie
Age: 4
Location: Saint Paul, Minnesota

Color Inspiration: Charlie loves cars and trucks so the Dwell transportation bedding is perfect. He once told us that he wants to be a robot when he grows up - this was right after his 6-year old sister said that she wants to be president like Obama - so the robot decals and prints are a perfect nod to his future aspirations.

Give Lesa & Charlie a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
 
 

Tip For Using Color: We like using neutral colors on walls and natural woodwork as a canvas and let pops of color come through in bedding, art, stuffed animals and other decoration.


Colors Used: Benjamin Moore, Clould Nine

Cute room. I got confused though when I saw the silver lamp at the bedside in the first photo, then the hanging pendant at the bedside in the 3rd photo...which one did you go with? I like the green hanging lamp best!

I think I was lurking around at the Blu Dot warehouse sale when you got that furniture... unless that wasn't you! It looks great in your son's room. I'm a little jealous!
