Doug's Room

I am posting this in behalf of mom who wanted to see "Doug's creative, artistic ability" The front room of our house used to be what we called a "dead" room. It just had our computer in it with no other furniture. It wasn't until this year we decided to turn it into the kids semi-playroom. Since Hobby Lobby was having a big sale on frames, molding and furniture we decided to take our opportunity and decorate. Doug took our old bookshelves that the Gruwell family gave us and painted them black. He also took our old kitchen table and cut the legs off to make a cool little table (like the ones you see in potterybarn kids). He took the Wal-mart stools and painted them black as well. The kids art work that you see what an idea I stole from my friend Allison and works out great because the kids can just clip up their school projects instead of hanging them all over my fridge. I love our new coat hooks so that when the kids get off of the bus they can just hang up their backpacks and coats instead of throwing them all over the floor. The room is kind of a mixture of New Orleans and Texas all in one. I really didn't have any other place to hang my Texas quilt and we still love the hand painting that Chanel did for us (displayed by the door) along with Doug's sign. I am so proud of him and his creativity!! Maybe he should do some designing on the side of being an orthopedist!
