The Making of a Nerd Cave

When Kyndal moved to Missouri with her dad, Dawson immediately took possession of her bedroom. He wanted to make it into a Nerd Cave, which meant a room for his Xbox, gaming posters, and friends. He moved in, but wasn't too keen on the Tiffany Blue walls. You see, just one year ago Rick and I spent our entire Thanksgiving vacation transforming Kyndal's bedroom into a chic room. Here is what it looked like:

I really did not want to paint the room again. I thought it was ironic that he didn't like the Tiffany Blue when he was mad I bought him a black futon instead of a hot pink one ????

The boys talked me into painting, so they picked out a nice Granite Gray. Did you know you can now mix in fragrance additives directly into the paint? The fragrance is supposed to last anywhere from 4-6 months. Dawson chose Lavender for it's relaxing qualities. (Like he needs to relax anymore when he is in there.) I thought it was a great idea since that room will be filled with stinky teenage boys.

Wesley, Dawson and I painted the room.

And the Nerd Cave was born.

I suspect this will be one of the most-used rooms of our house. And now that it is done, it looks really cool and I really like it.
