Ryan's room was originally painted two shades of blue when we moved in, and we knew we wanted to change it one way or another. So, Ryan was given the choice: What color would he like his walls? Light blue, dark blue... something else? Naturally, Ryan chose something else. After discussion, he wanted his room to reflect his favorite football team, the Washington Redskins.
This project was alot of fun, but rather time consuming. Tightly taping up the room to prevent 'seepage' of the paint from one well-defined paint layer to the next was the key. In the end, Ryan (and we) were very pleased with the final look and feel of his room.
Thinking back, my childhood room literally had clown wallpaper with multi-color stripes of red, blue and white until I was... well... grown up. I'm guessing the folks who bought my parents old house *probably* made a change or two to the whole 70's motif that was our house... including the electric yellow and green frog wallpaper in my old bathroom. ;-)
Logan's room remains the same, as when we moved in. Looking forward to her choosing her expression of herself. What exactly would a 12-year-old girl want on her walls (other than Orlando Bloom posters)?
