Today we painted Benjamin's room. Vicky's parents came down from the wirral by train ('Grumpy' and 'Nanna', will explain the former at a later date) to help, and his other grandparents came back from their holidays.
With the intent his 'unofficial' godmother, Alex, to come and 'muralise' his room, on her return from 8 months in Australia, we've gone for a yellow and blue central border with whales and fishies, and teddy bears (ermm)...
With a dark blue below the border where we hope there will be a sea-scape / 'finding nemo' / 'bedknobs and broomsticks' under water scene. On the wall with the window and the wall opposite the window a sky / baby blue, destined for clouds and brirds hopefully (although there was some random request going round for teradactyls ??).
On the other 2 walls is a colour called 'watermelon', although vicky thinks its more dark 'olive' than 'watermelon'. So anyways, the aim there is for animals of various sorts. But in general we'll just have to see.
Still trying to decide whether to paint the ceiling with the blue to make it sky over-head; there is a yellow uplighting lamp shade that would make for a good sun... Oh and the curtains are a dark banana yellow, so we'll see how it looks when its all done, and as I learn how to blog pictures, so will you.
