Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars...

Riley's room was never painted when we moved into the house, and we thought it was about time we did something fun for him. He spent two nights with his cousin Michael and we took that time to design his dream painted room.

We took out all the furniture and painted two colors on the walls - one was a very light grey-green and another a beautiful deep blue-green. Then we primed the back wall and began our mural...








And the room, finally done! You can't see the blue-green walls (they are behind me)... but at least you can see the finished mural. Carl and Liane were awesome artists. I could not have done it without them. And the black on this wall is actually a deep blue-black (called "Galaxy Black" - it's one of the Behr Disney colors). It is so cool cause you can see the blue-ish-ness at certain angles. Rick hung a couple of his ships from the ceiling and still has two more to hang (the Milennium Falcon and Slave 1) but otherwise it's pretty much done.

When Riley came into the room for the first time, he was totally speechless. It was so awesome! The best part was that he insisted that Violet spend the night in the room with him that night, so the two of them can have Star Wars dreams :)
