Connell's Room Make-Over

I finally got to redoing Connell's bedroom and he decided he wanted a music theme (it took weeks to land on one although we discussed different sports and wild animals, etc). He has always been somewhat fascinated with music (two of his favorite shows over the years have been Little Einsteins and the Backyardigans both which focus on music). I finally got to painting the walls yesterday while the boys went to the zoo and played outside with daddy. You can see that I framed sheet music from some old piano books I had for the walls. I used music fabric to make pillows. I got some little fake statues of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, etc. from a thrift store for his dresser and I painted his lamp shade with music notes (that lamp was a thrift store find as well as some other decorations such as the bugles, violin, candle holder). I even made his black clock look like a music note! I sewed the curtains from a twin-sized sheet that has a stripe that matches the burgundy walls. Sorry that the lighting is bad in the photos, but the darkness you see behind the curtains is some cardboard that we use to help keep out some of the light since he has a window facing straight west (you can imagine how hot it gets in there on summer nights!)
