Gavin's Room

We have done some remodeling at my parents house to make this room for Gavin. It was a huge room that had the computer and the dog beds in it. The room was huge about 12x20 so my parents decided we would build a wall and then Gavin would have his own room and they would still have a guest room.

We still have room for the computer desk and bookcases in the new other half of the room and once we leave they will have a nice office where Gavin was. They figured it will only add value to the house and it wasn't very hard to do.

Uncle Alex and Pop Pop put the frame up for the wall in a day. Somehow I ended up with no pictures of anyone other than Gabe working on the wall and room. Then Michael, Pop Pop, Gigi and I put the first set of french doors in another night. We still have to get another set of french doors to put in the other hole but we are going to do that after Christmas, so we have a curtain up where the doors will go leading in to the dining room/foyer.Michael, Pop Pop and I hung the drywall the next weekend. Mr. Kim a wonderful friend of ours came over and taped the corners and showed Pop Pop and Michael how to put the mud up that weekend. On Monday the guys mudded the wall and textured it to match the room. We painted that week and worked on molding. I still have to paint the french doors and touch up all the molding but I may wait till get the other doors and do it all at once.

The room has really turned out better then we imagined and I can't wait to start the real decorating.

I had been planning on doing an alphabet themed room but last time I was at the fabric store we found this dragon/castle fabric and feel in love with it. So now we are going to use that and do a Prince themed room with dragons and castles.

I think we are going to paint the small castle on the wall behind the crib with a Prince and then the large dragon as well. We will use this fabric the make the bumper and put it on the curtains as a border as well. I am trying to think of a cute saying to put on the wall with the paintings. My first thought was "Our Prince, Our Hero" I welcome any ideas so please give them.

So that is our little mans room we hope to have all the decorating done by Christmas so that everyone can see it when they are here.
