Mother and Father Create an Amazing ‘Portal’ Themed Bedroom for Their Son’s Thirteenth Birthday

Denver photographer, writer, and father Randy Slavey and his wife created an amazing Portal themed bedroom for their son on his thirteenth birthday. The surprised young man’s jaw dropped as he walked into the new room filed with all sorts of Portal style designs.

‘Portal,’ and its successor ‘Portal 2,’ took the brilliantly simple concept of a portal gun, combined it with a fantastic storyline that included a sadistic but hilarious antagonist, and created a game that is just as replayable today as it was eight years ago. It was no surprise that my video game obsessed son took to it like a Cheep Cheep to water. Years after that first test chamber, he is still a huge fan and has amassed an impressive collection of t-shirts, toys, and collectibles based on the characters and story. So when it came time to remodel his room for his thirteenth birthday, and he asked for a Portal room, my wife and I wanted to make sure it was something worthy of one of Aperture Laboratories’ finest young test subjects.
