Wall Art

Obviously I am so bored today. At this time last year I was busy looking and booking our hotels, flights, itineraries and all that travel plans. But this year… we are not planning anything. No plans whatsoever for the summer. Every last dime we have went to the house. So I guess we’ll be spending our vacation at the house.

To get the glum off my face and put a smile on my frown. I am searching some cool stuff for Lucas’ room. I am actually more interested in designing his room than ours. As a kid I have always dreamt of getting to decorate my own bedroom but that never really happened. So now I am trying to relive that dream by designing my son’s bedroom and I wanted it to be really cool, with a vintage 90s feel to it and of course a place where he can be more creative. I don’t really care if Lucas will grow up to be a math wizard or whatever. I just want him to be smart and imaginative so he can CREATE things, cos really that’s where the money is. I want to give him a room that will tap his creativity. A room that will make him think outside the box.

Just for the record, I’m no expert. I’ve only been a mother for the first time but this is something that I wouldve wanted as a child. If only I was surrounded with visuals that fueled my  imagination, I probably would have become more creative now.

Found this on flickr and thought this could make a really cool poster. I was thinking of trying to get my hands dirty with acrylic and recreate the rocketship. I’m not really sure if I could do the moon, the planets and the colors cos you see I’m no painter. But man, the colors in this poster are just perfect! I’ll probably just have this framed and printed  on an 8x12 photopaper.

This is from an art exhibit that I took off my cousin’s facebook page. I like everything on this painting especially the small radioflyer. Too bad my cousin forgot the name of the artist and even if I get a hold of him I probably cannot afford this anyway.

So I decided to commission my sister to do some paintings and just gave her an overview of what I wanted to happen.
