Dominic's Room

I began painting Dominic's room 6 months before we concieved, Andrew was a little frightened as a described what I wanted to do with the room. I choose the Winnie the Pooh theme because of the divine impact the stories had on me as a child. I went to the Fishers library and borrowed an overhead and projected the copied images on the wall and setched the pictures with pencil. I then bought a hodgepoge of paint at Home Dept (oops paint) and Joanne's crafts. I outlined everything in black, and then began to add color. I enjoyed decorating the room, it was a mixed emotion to finish the walls. I was thrilled by the effect, but at the same time really enjoyed the process. My biggest complement came when I took Dominic in his room for his first feedings, and his eyes got really wide and he stared at the wall the entire time. Now as I read the Pooh stories at night we can look at the walls and pretend we are in the Hundred Acre Woods.
