I have been working on Owen's room for a couple weeks. I started painting last fall, then didn't work on it again until last week. I still have a little ways to go. But I am so excited about it so far, I wanted to show my family what I have done. I painted this just this afternoon. It was probably the easiest wood project. I painted with regular craft paint. Then I sprayed the painted part with a clear coat. Then I took a dark stain and rubbed over the top. I am planning on haning it up on the wall.
This is a picture of the bottom part of the curtain. And one of the wagon wheels I had outisde on my front porch. I lined the back of the curtian with black fabric so it will block out light during the day. Good for naps.
Here is the reading bench. I am really happy about it. I put hinges on the seat so it will create a wee bit of storage under the seat. Maybe for books. I like the way the dark wood contrasts with the unfinished. It gives it a more rustic look. Those are the pillows I sewed today and Denton helped me stuff them. The shingles are that black craft foam, I just hot glued them down.

These two trees are my favorite. I really like them better than the rest. I started by painting the base coat a light blue grey. Then I taped off where I wanted my trees and painted them black. After the black dried I dry brushed a white paint to make the bark. Then added limbs. I was going for a wintery feel, that is why they don't have leaves. And it just looks a little cleaner.
Here is a wider view of the trees and bench. I did not sew the pillow with stars on it. I bought that a few years ago and it matches pretty well.
An up-close view of the throw pillows. I was so excited to find this big rick rack at Hobby Lobby. And I discovered the smaller rick rack made out of jute. Pretty cool.
A long look at the curtain. I cut the valance out of MDF and painted black. Then I attached the curtain to a dowel and screwed it to the sides of the valance. 
Look I found a place for those fish I bought at Quilted Bear.
Here is the roof top. And this is what it must look like from Owen's point of view.
