He has a plaid sports comforter, sham and pillow. I had four different pieces of mix-matched furniture (some old, some new) that I painted navy and replaced all the hardware to make it look like a matching set. Two different lamps with two different lampshades were updated with self-sticking lampshades I covered in a coordinating plaid fabric. Sports balls are showcased in jars. I repainted his name letters a deep red and then roughed up the edges with sand paper. I found a sports clock on Ebay that was vintage looking. And to top everything off - my favorite part - I purchased Norman Rockwell sport prints and had them matted and framed.

Amy,
I LOVE Braxton's room! Thank You for showing more pictures of it. Are the walls wallpaper or did you paint the stripes yourself? If so, how did you do it- what width are the stripes? I really like how you put the different balls in the jars. Fun!
Thanks!

Heather,
The stripes on the walls are actually painted. The entire wall was painted the cream color and then, since I was very pregnant at the time, my hubby measured every 8 inches and made marks on the walls. Then we taped off the stripes and painted every other section the darker tan color. This was done for Braxton's nursery, but when I switched his room to the new decor, the stripes worked perfectly!
I love the look of the stripes. I think I may tackle this at our new house in Kyle's room. He loves "americana" (anything to do with flags and stars) and we have a transportation theme as well so this may be a good foundation for his room. It has been a challenge mixing the two and finding something that would look good on the walls without going too "themey". Thank You!
