a room for a cowboy.....

So earlier this year, we had some major plumbing problems in our house. After fighting with the home warranty company, we were left with the task of finishing it ourselves. Richie spent most summer traveling overseas for work, so it took us longer than we thought to finish Lancer's room.
This was the before picture.
Lancer wanted a cowboy room and I decided to decorate his room around this poster of Wyatt Earp that I bought a couple of years ago in Tombstone, Arizona.
I know these pictures are not the best I took them with my phone just after finishing, and the room has not been this clean since.

My dad's friend collects branding irons, so we actually branded all of the wood ourselves. It is actually hard work. It took us the better part of a day to brand enough boards for his room.

The cow skin is an antique that was from my grandpa's meat packing house. The wanted posters and bullet hole stickers I got at Zurchers for like $3.
Lancer LOVES his new room and now I cannot wait to start painting and decorating other rooms.
Next up-Rykers room. Think vintage baseball.
