1. I was inspired by this S<a href="http://overthetopstudios.typepad.com/over_the_top_studios/2010/01/cirque-fini.html">PECTACULAR paper sculpture by Over The Top Studios</a> (I'll say!). Seriously, click over and admire the over-the-top gorgeousness. It's a little too gothic and dark and glamorous for a boy's room (obviously) but the mystery and fun and mismatched over-the-topness of the circus makes for a perfect theme for a boy's room, don't you think?
