Description
A superhero themed room that is full of bright colors, fun, and not too baby-ish.
Design Inspiration
My husband loves superheros and comic books. I made a deal with him that if we had a boy he could have a superhero themed room as long as it wasn't too cheesy. We used the colors and design of Adam West's Batman as our inspiration. We loved the bright pop-art colors and design. We also wanted a room that Levi could grow into and enjoy and not have to change the design of the room as he got older.
Decorating Style
Eclectic and fun
Project Details
We found details from many different places. We didn't want the room to be too matchy-matchy.

Advice
Our advice would be to do what you like and what fits YOUR style. So many people told us that a superhero themed room would be cheesy or silly, but it's what we loved and in the end it turned out great! Also, you don't need to spend a lot of money to make a room look great. We looked in stores, online, at flea markets, and garage sales to put our nursery together. You can find inspiration and decor almost anywhere!

Right. Because this room would be completely inappropriate for a little girl. Honestly, ladies come on. #geekgirls
