G's New Room

G's new room is finally done. He has been living with a pink floral comforter and strange blue cushion on his chair for a few weeks. I would have made him wait till the room was ready to move into it, but the fighting between he and M was too much. Separating them has helped the battles tremendously. He helped design the quilt and had chances to put in his ideas along the way. I think it turned out great. What he will be surprised with when he gets home from school today is
1- it is done and all put together as a surprise
2- I covered the chair cushion and made pillows without him knowing it.
Here is the old room.....

Here is the new quilt on the bed...

And the sitting area with his bulletin board.


One picture still to hang is a VanGogh poster of sailboats that D got for his first apartment. I know he is happy that it will be used again.

Now M wants to personalize his room with new quilts-- fat chance on that. I think I can convince him to keep the race car quilts in the twin bed room if we add some new posters and a night light. Wish me luck!

love and hugs, B
