Everyone has a childhood hero. At some point we've had an idol.
Do you ever grow out of either? Nope. Mr. B. is a perfect example of his childhood hero and grown-up idol.....
Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman!
Batman, Batman, Batman!
Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman!
Batman, Batman, Batman!
Batman, Batman, Batman!
Batman, Batman, Batman!
Batman, Batman, Batman!
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Batman!

The room is a small 10x9 which served many purposes, from our oldest's bedroom, to storage. With the kids leaving, it now serves its purpose as "The Batcave". It was a fun project, with much toil and sleepless, hungry nights. Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing all the pieces come together. I worked from hand-drawn plans with minimal tweaks. This goes back to me always saying planning is important.
I understand dark colors make a space seem small and although the theme of the room is a cave, I chose to not black-out the room. In addition, I didn't want Mr. B. going all emo on us. I chose an excellent dark grey color, in a flat finish.
I never knew how serious the man was about Batman, until the completion and reveal of the room. He is very appreciative of the room and spends most of his time in it. Most of ALL his time.
I hope you enjoy the pics. If you have questions on any project, give me a shout!
