Painting.....

We have had so much fun with Lily's room that it makes sense that we use that creativity and continue to improve our surroundings :-). We got Logan a bunk bed when he was five... and now that he is almost 11, we decided that we should tackle his room next. When we moved into this home his room, that falls in the helpful people area, was painted red. We felt the affects of this so we put a metal glaze over it to make it metal instead of fire. I was never happy with the result but from a Feng Shui perspective we were safe.

Logan is a HUGE San Antonio Spurs fan and is quite a basketball player.... so how lucky are we that the color for his area of the home is grey and white.... This morning was the day!! I got up and drove him to Lowe's to pick out his paint. We got two gallons and headed to get our doughnuts to give us energy to paint today :-). We have picked out black furniture for this space and I have ordered Spurs decals to put on his walls along with all of the posters he has collected. (and the walls look and feel so perfect!!)

From a Feng Shui perspective this is really a great concept. We will meet all of the requirements and he is happy!! How does it get any better than that? My one dilemma is how to incorporate the world map to represent our territory? Since we work with clients and students from all over the world, I want to keep a world map in his space without looking out of place. (When we added the world map to his room a few years ago, our school went International!!) I am looking at creative ways to include this in his new space and will let you know when I come up it... If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to share!!

I will continue to work in his room and when we finish this week I will post some pics to show. By then I will have solved my world map dilemma.... I hope :-)
