Boys and Decorating

Thanks to the fact that it's all boys around these parts we have to make the best out of their contributions to the decorating and ambiance in our home.  My lovely centerpiece on the kitchen table,

If you look closer you may notice my nine year old sons addition to a beautiful home.

Yes, those are two huge slimy tadpoles.

Chalk this one up to a teachable moment that will not last forever for me, but hopefully leave a good impression in the mind of a child.

A compliment to those (things) I love.

I must resort to replicate, that's not bad right?  It's a compliment.  

This is my version, half price canvas, half price paint.  A fraction on the frame, who knew custom frames were so expensive, my home made version was more up my alley.  I learned many great things in the process, and that's priceless really.

This is the one I fell in lust with on houzz.com.  I'll take the whole room if anyone's asking.  Listing of my wants and hopefully over time my master room might evolve to,

1. framed art check
2. white puffy comforter
3. night tables with lights and cool accessories
4. I like the overhead light thing too, but hubby says no, maybe just not so big.
5. I really like the colors and shininess in this room

Little side note, now that I see the two photos next to each other, I have decided mine still needs some luster, some shine more pizazz.
