One of the fun things about having children is watching their style develop and seeing how it reflects their expanding personalities. It's also frustrating, of course, because I'd like to have things a certain way, and am constantly being foiled in that desire by the needs and wishes of the other strong personalities in the household. It's nice, though, when we can make things work out so that everyone is pleased with the result. Luckily, that's what happened with both of the recent room renovations that the kids department underwent. Both rooms very much reflect the personality of the kid who occupies the space.
I posted photos from Karin's room when Anders had finished the major part of the work: painting & wallpapering. This is what the room looked like before it was filled with her new furniture: dragons / red walls & new bed. Then we added a new dresser, a bookcase, and a desk, and hung paintings and posters and curtain, and bought a new rug.
Martin's room was decidedly different, and yet his personality shines through just as strongly. Anders' did a fantastic job of painting the trees on his long wall, and we found the perfect furniture to complement his style as well.
