The comic book look is actual comic book pages. You can purchase comics for very little money at media stores where they sell old types of media. I think we covered that whole wall for about $20! We used water based polyurethane and a sponge brush applicator to apply the comics. It did take a long time, but again...we think the look is worth it. Plus, it won't be too juvenile for my boys in just a year or two. The black and white keep it subtle and classy.

Great Room! Love it! You did an awesome job!!

Where did you get the comic book wallpaper? Love the room!

The wood is actual barn wood off of my dad's barn. The paint color is actually grey. My wife found it in the discount paint at Lowes so we really don't even know the color. But it is a semi gloss grey that is a very soothing color.

We used barn wood from my dad's barn. That is really the only way to get that look.

I love your boys' space. Could you tell me the color blue that you used? I love the color!

very cool! 5*

so freaking great! I love it! How did you get the wood to look like that ? Did you use any kind of product on it?

Such handy & clever parents! Wonderfully decorated and thought out use of space. Your boys are very lucky. I know they will enjoy this space probably even when they are coming home from college.

Wow! You have created an incredible space for your boys! I love the old wood! You have inspired me for my 11 yr old boy. Thanks
