as i plough through another sickly day, trying to make sense of the tiredness, i came across this in my mailbox.
it heartened me. the sheer visual of the beautiful room just made me (and my heart) smile.

| i especially love the beads chandelier :) |
as well as the accompanying story : a mother planned to redecorate her daughter's room with the sole goal of her sleeping in there more often and ended up being the winner of the first Washington Post Kid's Room Contest.
in gist, Krista Salmon, the mother, has been undergoing this 'Big Girl' project to make the room for her lil' girl, Anna Louise aka Lou more livable. something that both of them would be proud of.
(see the whole story here)
if you want more inspiration to do up your kids room, please go to Krista's personal blog called Kiki's List. the post on the revelation of Lou's room could be found here.
now.... what could i do to make my boys sleep in their own (non-existent) room?
hmmm... first off, need ze hubby to get cracking by inciting him with the idea of more privacy. :P
next up... i need to think of a palette for the room. Big Brother likes Purple... and lil brother likes... er... Pink. for now. hehehe.
