A room re-do. Oy.

Casa Coconut had somewhat of a mass exodus last weekend as
two of the kiddos packed up their goods
and headed out to college.
Another has graduated and is living across the state. We have one left with us. And a dog. A big dog.
The dog and I were kinda sad.
SO
Best  way to combat empty{ish} nest sadness…. A project!
This bedroom has been lived in by two of the boys at different times.
It was a big project when we painted the walls in ochre tones of limegreen to ocean blue

so big that they never even were re-painted when Kid #2 took over.
…and I found all sorts of *interesting* things along the way as I cleaned
and prepared for *the project*. First car keys, Highschool freshman ID cards
::weep it all goes by so fast::

A sweet self- portrait. The grin….oh my this DOES look like him.

Ok….SO I put away the Kleenex and put my worker hat on
The plan was to lighten….keep it as a room….
and maybe use it as an office while kids are gone.
 
 
The abacus was a tribute to our math genius.
and also….because he left it behind.
::sob::

The Library table was one I bought for my parents…and my Dad re-finished
and has since been used in the room as a very sturdy desk.
Oy2
The plantation blinds are up temporarily as I get a molding to fit them.
And Look….A bed. See. still a room
Oy4
 
Oy8
and….I left it all rumply like that on purpose  :cough:  so my guys would feel at home  :cough:
I did.
And the YO became a big OY.
‘cause, well, that was just appropriate.
oy3
Toy soldiers. Baseball cards. swim suits.   Kleenex please.
There ya have it….a shop the house….use what you have….cry while you paint
Project.
Oy.
