The Space Room

Christian was off work last week, and our home project was painting Alex’s room. The discussion was long, and as you might expect with a four-year-old, involved a lot of changing his mind. But eventually (with some pressure from me, I’ll admit) he settled on space ships. Here’s the semi-final result (we still have some constellations to install on the ceiling).

Christian did almost the whole job, for which I am very grateful. I’ve decided that I love the result of paint jobs, but I hate painting.

 You can’t see it very well, but the border is a NASA of the future, with a humongous, Cloud City-esque space station, several shuttles, and astronauts rocketing themselves around a station that looks more like the real International Space Station. We are very happy with how this turned out.
