THE TRAVELING GARDNERS

With a combination of moving, re-decorating, excitement of preparing Isabella's nursery, and out with the old and in with the new mentality......we changed the theme of the boys room. For years the main decor of Ben's room has been sports. I attempted to get a jungle theme going with Zachary. But with moving, he never had his own room. So sports took over as the main decor and bedding for the boys room. It worked out because Dan and I combined, have enough sports paraphernalia to fill a small sports museum. We ended up using signed sports photos and other items to decorate their room. Well, in this recent move Dan and I felt it was time for a change.  The boys decided together that they wanted a Superhero room. Ben's favorite character is Captain America. This started with a free comic book put out by the military a few years back. Captain America was the main character. Also, this past Halloween he dressed up as Captain America. Superman comes in a close...

I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
