Close up of the desk...does it meet with your approval Shanna?

Artist and client...very happy indeed!
It all started with me asking Shanna to help us decide paint colors. It turned into late nights with dragon drawings, fevered second-hand shopping excursions, and finally the painting we can't believe we have in our home! Shanna is a force of nature. We worked really well together and inspired each other to make this room exactly what Alex wanted and so much deserves. Our greatest find was the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. We totally scored with the amazing cabinet to house Alex's tv and Gamecube, as well as the headboard Shanna found in the scrap trim pile. We found more inspiration at "Estate of Confusion". It's as close to Sanford and Son as you can get. There we found the light fixture that brought the room together. Then we framed some of Alex's paintings of dragons, which made the room his own. Put that together with Shanna's incredible artistic talent and vision, and you have a masterpiece. Thanks Shanna! We love you.

It looks so awesome! I'm so excited for you Alex! :)
*What*?? How did I not see this post before? Oh well, anyway...
His room looks so awesome! The dragon painting really is incredible, and I'm loving the medieval furniture. I'm really glad that Alex got the look he wanted! We just finished painting Kyra's walls Shrek-green, and I'm planning on painting mine purple. :) That won't be until after L&L, but still- the interior decorating, furnishing and coloring never ceases!
You're right Abbi, it never ceases! We love Alex's room, and are getting excited about the possibilites for Sophie....
I know you guys are happy to be getting some awesome color on your walls! I can't wait to see the green and purple!
Mindy - it looks fantastic. Alex - your drawing are amazing. I'm so glad it came out the way you hoped it would.
Hugs, Christine
