Our daughter will be coming home soon for one of the longest
Thanksgiving weekends I've ever seen scheduled, about 9 days long. I
say she's coming "home" but she doesn't call this house home. She
calls it "my parents' house" since she never lived here. But we want
it to feel like the home she knew before we moved, so we've
transformed the craft room/ junk room/ guest room into something that
resembles her old room. We painstakingly peeled the springtime themed
decals off the walls and painted over the worst shade of pink ever
mixed in a paint can, choosing instead a nice off-white. We put up a
few decorations, and suddenly it became the best looking room in the
house. To be honest, the other bedrooms weren't giving it much
competition. Would you believe that our bedroom isn't decorated in the
slightest? I know. I'm surprised too. It kind of looks like a room in
a halfway house, without any art on the walls and a cheap particle
board dresser in the corner. I guess after living and breathing art
the rest of the day, Jo just wants somewhere void of all art to
collapse and recharge. Our son's room is definitely no match for our
daughter's new room. It looks like someone placed a bomb inside the
dirty cloths hamper.
