Wow has it been that long???? Worm farms and no flatscreen!!!! I decorated this room in 2006 when Callum was 7 that is when this photo was taken. Although Scully still lounges in this corner furniture and fittings have been altered as Callum has grown.
Actually looking at these two photos again I realised the two framed disney pictures were actually painted by me about 25 years ago when my eldest was small (he is a 6 ft 30 year old now!!!) These were hung on his wall in the days when we were in Army housing and were not allowed to paint murals on the magnolia walls!!!!! It is time to pack them up and put them in the attic ready for the grandchildren!!!! ;-)
All the teddies have been evicted and now it is time to paper over Scooby too! Over the past couple of days I have been painting away and Picachoo is no more......well I think one more coat of white will just about wipe him away!
It is quite hard to paint over my artwork but we have plans for something else we can create together. Last time I painted this room Callum had a go with the paint roller. This time he has firm ideas of how he wants his room to look and we are getting creative together.
So that is my Sunday (and a few more days too!) taken care of. I will share some more photos tomorrow. I know it is not tag sized creativity but we are having fun getting creative on a larger scale.
Thank you for popping by x
You are an amazing artist. Those murals jump right off the screen! What a special talent to share with your family and make the room's their own. It is funny how fast they grow up! Enjoy the process of planning his new decor with him. That should be fun! Glad you have the pictures to remember it and think back when he is grown! Not everyone can have such a room as a kid!
ReplyDeleteThanks Winnie. I do love to paint murals. This next one is going to be a challenge as it has all been film and cartoon characters so far!!!!
DeleteAAAH! such a cute room, but I know those growing pains. We went from cute circus to black and white Rocker!! I still have a black ac vent on a white ceiling in the spare room. Guess I should climb up there and get it painted white, since the youngest one moved out 16 years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have the same decorating schedules Krisha!!! I may well have that yellow coving for a while ;-)
DeleteWow, Helen, what an amazing room your boy has and the paintings when your oldest was young are fab too. I used to dream of being able to decorate in such a way & then over the years I've seen the likes of Laurence Llewelyn Bowen do it on TV. Such a gift. It's going to be awesome for you & your son to design his room decor together, I look forward to seeing your progress :0) x
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo. I loved all those changing room programmes. There was one where the change furniture and I even bought a sander to give it a go but apart from spray painting a set of office drawers that is as far as it went - It's back in fashion though so never say never!!! x
