Fab Five Pins of the Week [Dozens of Dinos]

As I've mentioned, my niece is moving back in with her dad and this means that Nico is getting his room back. He loved having Abby around, and I know he'd rather have Abby than his room. But, since it's vacant, we decided we better do something with it.

To be honest, Nico is BEGGING for a Bowser room. You know who I am talking about, right? From Super Mario Bros.?

He is enthralled with him. Tries to dress up as him. Shoots "fire" whenever he can (which really, he can't).
I am just not into him so much.  So we are going with Nic's second choice: Dinosaurs.

I spent some time on Pinterest last week, looking for anything dino-related and here's what I found:

1) We are SO putting this on his wall, in a frame, or something. We will change the font and colors to match the theme, of course -


2) Another CUTE sign... and possibly a new bedtime routine. =)


3) Who doesn't love garland?!?! Look at this fantastic element:


4) Another adorable sign... Couldn't pass this one up and it comes in quite a few colors on Prints So Charming's ETSY shop:


5) And finally, to really help shape the room, I found this:


This picture from baby&child Restoration Hardware is what really sold me.  Now, I know all of the prints above don't really go with this last picture, but that's where I will change up colors, fonts etc. I love the pre-historic look; brown, gray, and beige. Right now, the room is PURPLE - so, the kids and I will be working on spackling, painting and getting the room ready to dress. We cannot wait for Nic to have his own room, a place for him to keep his mess locked up in his closet. I think he will love having his own space.

To see the other things (including some bed options), check out my Pinterest Board made just for Nico.

If you have any ideas, or other links/pictures you've come across and want to share - or if you have done a dinosaur room yourself - leave me a link in the comments!! I've love some more inspiration!

P.S. If you click on any of the pictures above, you will be taken directly to the owner's site or to the Pinterest board they were found on. I take no credit for their awesomeness. =)
