A teen boys gallery wall

Right before Christmas we completed the renovation of our 15 year old son RJ's room.



You can see the renovation from beginning to end HERE.

He totally loves it and being a teen, definitely spends time in there. The one and only problem is all of the wall space. The ceilings are 11 ft high, so there is plenty of empty space. It could cost a small fortune to decorate in here. Recently we thought of a solution though....A few years back RJ started drawing on his own. He inherited my aunt and uncles talent of becoming a natural born artist. Trust me, he did not get this from Randy or myself. Anyway, he has been saving his drawings and I came across a few free frames the other day. I decided we could start a gallery wall to fill the space. We only have a small section done, but I will continue to look for thrift store or tag sale frames, and shortly, RJ will have an awesome gallery wall.





Can you tell who all of the drawings are of?

On another note, have you linked your POLKA DOT projects up yet?

  8. Wow! He is so talented! I love the idea of using his drawings, as they are so well done!

    I've been here reading for the past week or so, but unable to leave comments. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Blogger has fixed it! :)

    Have a great day.
