blinds or a window shade to match with space shuttle color or the
color of
his/her favorite super-hero. Run the curtain rod through the sleeves of the
jersey allowing the arms to be outstretched as much as possible.

shaped step stool to match the headboard. Replace all of the drawer knobs,
the ceiling fan pull, and the light switch with a shape that your child
really admires.

of variety into. You can make a football, rugby, baseball- by purchasing a
lamp kit, making a hole through the center a foam football, and inserting
the lamp pole through it.
