Zoom, Zoom to a New Room

Several weeks ago I decided that I wanted to update Graham's room.  When I was pregnant and putting his room together, I definitely made a big effort not to make it too babyish, and while the decor was still fine, I wanted to do something that I felt fit him and his personality.  So what did I choose to do?  A car-themed room!  Anyone who knows our little man, knows that he LOVES cars and trucks.  I decided I was going to repaint the room and add my own mural on the back wall.  I wanted the mural to look somewhat kiddish - not too professional or fancy looking, which ended up working perfectly with my painting skill level.  I also found an awesome rug and a new rocking chair (we never got a rocking chair, we just used an old office swivel chair, which just wasn't cutting it anymore) at IKEA and new sheets (on which the room was based) at Pottery Barn Kids.  I printed out and colored some pictures online to help complete the artwork on the wall.  The only thing missing is the red curtains (which my mom is shortening) and transportation-themed knobs that I ordered from Etsy.  I am pretty happy with how it all turned out.  Here are some pictures of them almost finished product:
