Before Blogging Throwback Thursdays - Let's Get This Party Started

I've got my party dress on, and there are hors d'oeuvres trays out on the buffet.  Fingers crossed that my guests will show up.  Remember this is a party to show off some of the things you've made, done, or bought from Before Blogging, and since I know you all existed pre-blogging I can't wait to see what you bring.

I showed you Snuggle Bunny's room makeover back in November.  I had made it over while Computer Genius was away on business.  The skateboarder/snowboarder theme should work for at least several years.  When Whirling Dervish was in his tweens, I made over his room from the child like room with felt wall,

 to a NY Jets theme that will take him all the way to the college years.  Raised by Buffalo Bills fans, WD is his own person, and a rabid Jets fan.  We hung a NYJets wallpaper border and nailed half round molding at the top and bottom of it at chair rail height.  I hand painted the football field wainscoting.

I painted out his bi-fold closet doors to look like lockers.

We built a bed with trundle underneath.  It could use some magic eraser action.  I love the metal locker bins we found at Lowe's.  I painted them Jets' green.

His bedding set came with a coordinating striped bed skirt, but we didn't need it with the platform bed.  So I used the fabric to make coordinating valances, and dress up his desk chair.

There are football shaped footholds in the end of the bed.  He no longer needs them as a teenager, but he was a very small tweener.  He uses the one foothold as a special cubby, now.

Above his bed, is a magnetic scoreboard.  I made it personal with his name being the name of the field at the Meadowlands, and painted the improbable score(Jets 42, Patriots 18) in glow-in-the-dark paint.

He has all the Jets branded accessories possible.

WD's put his own mark on this room with  posters,

and autographed memorabilia, but loves the overall look of his room, and hasn't asked for any changes.

I'm linking up this room to Little Red House's Mosaic Monday, It's So Very Cheri's Party Time, Polka Dots on Parade's Wow Me Wednesday, Savvy Southern Style's Wow Us Wednesdays, Domestically Speaking's Power of Paint Party, Fireflies & Jellybeans' Show off Your Stuff Party, French Country Cottage's Feathered Nest Friday, At the Picket Fence's Inspiration Friday, Remodelaholic's Anonymous, and Grunged Glittered, and Branded's Blog Hop.
