    Default Its finished what else should I do to it

    Ok - the hummer is done - the rooster tails aren't quite right - the colors are Hot yellow and black and dirt brown - the tire track stencils didn't turn out like in my mind's eye. The pillow shams and valance that I appliqued the monster trucks on were blue and no longer match in this room - for Christmas Ry is getting a blck ET center and A black Vibrational Playstation chair - I would like to make this room more high tech looking - I will probably paint his water bed black - what else can I add to tie this room together - it sure looked better in my mind so PLEASE help me!!

    I have a long shelf to put on this wall with all of his remote Monster trucks. Somewhere I would like to display his collection of hot wheels - it is huge and I thought I would brek it down by genre...

    The other three walls are like this - I had a bigger print in mind but I couldn't cut a stencil big enough - what can I do to fix this...

    Kimmee,
    You've done a great job!!!! As for displaying the hot wheels I'd be looking for those acrylic clear shelves or storage cases so that you can see all the cars through them.

    It looks great! Why are you so critical of yourself? You don't realize the talent you have.

    It looks really good! I think the reason the tire tracks look odd to you is because you have single tracks crossing over each other, whereas in real life tire tracks always travel in pairs. Maybe you could make up some ''mock" tracks on printer paper and tape the up tto see how it'd look.

    The bed NEEDS to be black and I LOVE Debbie's idea of acrylic shelves!

    Love it. I agree with Debbie & Karen, acrylic shelves and paralell tracks. Bed Black.
    You mentioned going "Hi Tech" in Ryan's room have you thought about making him a standing unit to house his TV Playstation etc...? I want to do one in DS's room made from metal pipe and wooden shelves (floor to ceiling)
