Decorating/Re-Doing my Grown-Son's Room

Got a few things going on... one that I am excited about - I am getting ready to have my son's room decorated to be more of a Hipster's Grown Up Guy's Room... I promised to do Before and After photos.  Last night I actually went in the room to go over all the things that must be done before we can get the paint slapped on the walls.  Tonight I will take the Before Photos.... 

I am going to transform his messy, hodge-podge teen bedroom into a more Grown-up Male Hipster's Dream Bedroom!  I've got 2 gallons of Silver Dollar Gray paint by Benjamin Moore ready and waiting - and my BFF is hired to paint... 

Here's my inspirational pictures for his room:

 I am going to buy a large floating black mantel shelf as in this picture above over his bed - just as in the picture - with an arrangement of all his framed artwork and photographs he has, a place for his things he's collected up that can be properly displayed...

 This is the bedding he and I agreed was perfect... I'll throw a colorful pillow into it and sheets as well to offset the coldness and bleakness of the gray.....

Below, we are going to hang his flat screen tv and video game console and cable box as shown on the shelving unit below...

I ordered this print above - to have framed and hang with his other artwork and posters, etc.  Giving the idea of the artsy stuff he likes and already has....

I am ordering this bookshelving unit from IKEA to put in the corner next to his bed, just as it is in the picture... as well as, I am going to buy a wall light fixture to hang beneath the shelf and over his bed for better lighting... that I will go to a lighting store down the street from where I work and see what interesting and cool choices we have....

Just an idea of different groupings and the wall mounted light fixture...

SO LET THE DECORATING BEGIN......
