This begs the question... did you give in?! Did he have his cave? I think it sounds kind of cool.  |

| | | I wanted black walls when I was a teenager, but got yellow. Oh well...
Those glowing moons and stars are so cool in the room of kids of any age. My husband and I had them in our last house. We started at the bottom of the wall with light blue, and graduated upwards to the ceiling which was a violet/dark purple kind of colour. I don't know how my husband worked it out, but he did. All over the ceiling we had the stars and moons, and I even found a package that had Saturns and flying saucers as well. |

| | | I remember when I was a teenager I wanted my room to be painted purple, my dad said it would look like a cave because it would be so dark, but I loved it. I was so proud of that room. |

Was that a bedroom... or something like a family room? I think I'd like a library room like that... I think we'd all spend a lot of time there. |

| | | It was our TV room. I wanted it to be the living room but there were too many windows to deal with...which is not a bad thing!
I tell my mother that all the pink and lavender she did my room in and dressed me in made me a confirmed blue person. |

I'm so anxious to start decorating an extra room we have. Not sure if I'll go with stars but decorating is always fun. | | |
