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. 

Boys Bedroom

This is a real boys room, now I try to get "cool" ideas to decorate his room, but when said boy has so many different interest and is still growing and trying every experience out there. How does one decorate such a room? He is just a well rounded individual, that wants to keep his options open, right?
This is the collection of interest. Let's have an inventory look, skateboarder wall sticker, a guitar picture, football frame, a favorite auntie holding up the Statue of Liberty, a jar of skateboard toy parts, a pinewood derby car. Now the stuff some might wonder about, lava lamp you might say cool, but pink for a boy, well we all know around these parts, pink can be a favorite color for a tough boy. A rock not a cool rock from an exotic beach trip but a rock, it is sweet his brother did paint a hieroglyphics on it for him. And the best yet, an air wick air freshener, now little boys do stink and I'm all for him having a nice smelling room but, when a boy ask for a room freshener, I find that interesting, I just didn't know any type of guy thought about that sort of thing.


Now this thing over here is my attempt of a PB copy, in the PBteen catalog I saw skateboard shelves, how cool is that! I had my ah ha moment and thought to myself, that garbage out in the garage and back yard can become something cool. Not only is it recycling to some degree, it had personal meaning, being his first skateboard and all.

It was definitely loved. And so is my pink loving, nail polish wearing, skateboarding, football loving little boy.
