My son wanted a bedroom makeover from little guy to middle school tween! He loves travel and architecture so we decided to use those as the themes for his new decor. I wanted to find a way to let him use his own creativity to express himself in the compilation of his room. After looking at his architectural drawings one day I thought that these would be a fun addition to his room!

It was a work in progress that he could work on whenever he had some free time and was inspired. I bought him lots of books about architecture and how to draw buildings. We looked online at architectural related stories and video and he continued to be inspired. Then, he watched a Batman movie and decided that he would like the bat symbol. ( too cute)
