How to Create your own Robot Decor

Oh my!...I left a very sarcastic remark at the end of my last post about the weather cooling down and guess what? We got a break! Our weekend was amazing without 110% humdity. There's a tiny bit of crispness in the morning air and it feels soooo good!

So, Friday I gave you the cool edited version of this photo and today you get to see the pretty colors as I break down the parts and where to buy it all.

"Rob" hangs out on a freshly painted Colonial Blue wall by Benjamin Moore.

His parts:

1. CD holder basket from Container Store

2. Garden hose from Home Depot. 

I bought 2 and cut one in half for the arms. The legs stayed as one unit.

3. Velcro from Target. 

This is being replaced with a magnets from Michaels though. The velcro wasn't quite strong enough.

4. Magazine holder from Ikea.

5. Magnets from Container Store

6. Pencil holders from Container Store

7. Curtain rod holders as antennae (not pictured)

1. Battery Clips (aka hands) from Home Depot

2. Anchors and Screws from Home Depot

The  hoses are a little heavy so make sure you use an anchor along with the screw. Of course, the first thing a kid's going to do is pull on these fun springy things so make sure it's functional!

One last shot:

There are a million different variations you could use for this project. Get creative and think about how your little one will use his robot.

DIY Robot Surprise

Meet "Rob." That's the name of this fun little guy, affectionately given to him by his 8 y.o. owner. I was tickled when his mom sent me a text to let me know her son "loved!!" the robot surprise we had secretly assembled while he was at school. She said they refer to Rob as "the roommate." So cute!

 I'll share all the good details on Monday for those of you in need of a robot of your own! It's pretty self-explanatory but I'll cut your shopping time in half and tell ya where I purchased all his parts (and exactly what they are).

Rob's not the only robot that will adorn the walls of this precious room. A handful of prints have been ordered and we're anxiously awaiting their arrival. Here's a peek at some similar ones...

I've had a blast helping create fun and unique rooms for my clients' sons. I love getting into their little minds and thinking of things that make their rooms as awesome as they are!

Enjoy your weekend, friends. We're hanging out with all the family this weekend and going to see a play, The Promise, at an outdoor theater. Hoping Texas gets the memo before then, that fall is near and it's supposed to be cooler weather. Yeah, right! A girl can dream...
