We are decorating our sons (ages 8 and 20 months) with a medieval knights theme. We have 2 large MegaBlok castles that will be set up in the room (well continuously set up and torn back down again) as well as a castle bouncer ball pit that my 20 month old will be getting for Christmas so we thought we would take those large toys and base our them on that since they will be such a large part of the room. I want to limit the expense as much as possible so I'm looking for inexpensive, creative ideas to make this a really fun room the kids will love to be in. I've seen lots of beautiful murals for ideas but they are really expensive and I am not a painter by any means so I need ideas for painting or decorating the wall, what to make to fit the theme to store toys in or place books or games on, etc. Thanks!!!

I looked up an image search through yahoo and found this site... scroll down and you can see the pics of the bedroom with the same theme. Check out that cute bunk bed! Also, a lot of the items in the room look like they could be homemade, if that also gives you any ideas :) GOOD LUCK!
Almost forgot the link:

If you can get your hands on a overhead projector you can print out simple pictures of (knights, Horses, castles) have them put on a transparency (kinkos does this) then project the image on the wall and paint it yourself.

folkmanis makes really good dragon puppets that are big and reasonably priced -- less than stuffed animals of the same size and i think look better than most stuffed animals.
folkmanis.com (you can get them on ebay too)
