Toy Story Bedroom Theme For Young Boy

by THAT Painter Lady

Toy Story 3 is the latest hit movie with our favorites Buzz and Woody… and having a Toy Story Bedroom Theme is something parents are going to be asked to create for their kids.

This bedroom is from the HGTV Dream Home… and it’s so cute!

I spend a good bit of time reviewing the specifics of this Toy Story Bedroom <<–here.

I’ve also discussed when I would use blue wall color as vs. yellow wall color for this theme.

One reason I think this HGTV Toy Story Bedroom is different – Well it doesn’t look “Theam-y”.

If you look closely – you can see that this room would be very easy to change to “any” theme.

Okay – here is an idea I think works really well with the Toy Story theme.

Toy Story BedroomI just finished helping a friend of mine paint a huge Sheriff Badge on the wall of a young boys room.  The room isn’t finished yet… I’ll be sure to share the finished room later. :0)

We all know “Woody” is the Sheriff in town… so this one bit of custom paint sets the tone for the entire room.  And the wall color is the perfect shade of blue!

What’s will it take to “change” the theme from Toy Story Bedding to just a western or cowboy theme?  Take out any Toy Story Accessories!  That’s it…

When your young boy (or girl) grows out of the western theme entirely – Paint those two walls with a new contrasting color and go for a sports or super hero theme. It’s just paint!

Painting A Sheriff Badge On The Wall

Toy Story Bedroom PaintingFirst – my friend found a Sheriff Star Badge online that she liked and printed it. Her son created the template out of cardboard. Keep in mind – this badge is about 6′ across.  It takes a bit of math to draw a star… don’t ask me to do math. Glad her son was around – he is a whiz at math. :0)

Then the template is used to trace the badge on the wall.

A few key points to mention:

1. Use a water color pencil to trace. It washes off and you won’t be left with a ton of regular pencil marks.

2. We “bent” the template around the wall. This is why it’s so important to have the template to trace.

It would be very difficult to get those angles just right if you don’t first have the template with the angles perfectly aligned.

3. I had to edit this picture so you could see the traced lines. The room is not “This” Dark blue.

Steps For Painting

1. Fill in the entire star with primer. It’s necessary to keep the blue from bleeding through your hard work.

2. Fill in the star with 2 coats of yellow. Any yellow color will do… pale – bright – dark… it doesn’t matter.

3. The last 2 coats of paint are metallic gold. I used craft paint and it only took about 2 bottles. Much cheaper than purchasing expensive gold paint from the hardware store.

4. Outline with gold “paint pen” from the craft store. Make sure they are “oil based” paint pens – not poster paint pens.

The gold pen was a tiny bit different in color than the gold paint used to fill in the star… which gave the edges a nice clean look and the name in the middle stands out just enough.

Although this bedroom is not going to be a Toy Story Bedroom theme – it could be.  I’ll share the rest of the room when it’s finished.

That is a great idea and the way you bent the star badge around the room is so clever. Very cute idea. Congrats and thanks for sharing this. You could use your bendable pattern technique on any shape.
