Luke's Room

Today as a surprise to our youngest child, the one who's bedroom still kind of looked like a nursery, we remodeled his room while he was at school.

I guess because he was the last baby, his bedroom just stayed looking like a baby's room but now that he's 9 we figured he'd really like a new look.

Luke loves skateboarding so we used that in our ideas. My husband had the idea of making one wall look like an old brick wall w/graffiti so we went w/that. I think it turned out pretty cool and for once we actually surprised Luke. He's kind of a snoop and finds Christmas & birthday gifts before the day he's supposed to open them.

I had to meet w/our tax man this morning so while I was doing that, David filled holes, taped and cut in w/bright blue paint. I got home about 12:30 and helped finish the walls while David grabbed lunch. Then David started bringing in the wall that he had already been working on in the garage the day before. I also put a fresh coat of paint onto his dresser and then David hung some big hooks to mount his skateboards while I put up tony hawk stickers. We finished w/about 5 minutes to spare:)

I think he won't grow out of this one too fast. He loved it. Of course as soon as Jessica saw it her comment was "my turn"....it never ends!
