Re: Children's Rooms

From experience with the artistic temperament, I will offer a warning that
your two year old is highly likely to object to you assaulting and
destroying her Work with 409 before your husband gets home or your neighbors
come over or whatever the "inspection" time is. If you can't convince Paul
to let her have a perpetual wall where SHE decides when it gets cleaned off
and if, you might find she's much happier with large pieces of paper tacked
to the wall that she can draw on and then keep when they need taking down.

Today my 14yo painted her room. She had painted it a
few years ago a beautiful lavendar color, very little
girlie, but now, as a teen, she needed something that
fit her personality better.
So we went to home depot and she bought electric green
paint to paint the walls, and also a deep purple and a
black paint to splash on to make it look very Jackson
Pollock...with graffiti here and there and hand prints
as well.
It's WAY cool, and totally Sarah.

What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn't a school at all. John Holt

That's so cool! Last week we visited my cousin and her family. They have
painted their living room, and girl's bedrooms with milk paint, using
natural pigments. Ella's room was called italian earth and was an
orange/terracotta colour. You just paint it on in every direction and get
different shades happening like when you rag roll. And because you are
making it from milk (powdered) it's not expensive and you can repaint every
couple of years.
We are going to try it when we are ready to paint Mia's room.

There are lots of different recipes available . You can buy it ready made,
just add water. The most common recipe is made from milk protein, lime and
earth pigments.
The place where we can buy the pigments from has recipes and all that we
need to get started.
Here's a site to check out.

<<<Today my 14yo painted her room.>>>
Adriane re-did her room last year. She painted the walls a robin-egg blue
and hung bathroom rugs that look like organge or purple or blue flowers on
the wall. She made very sheer curtains that are metallic green with a blue
sheen that matches the walls, and hung sun-catching crystals all in her bay
window. The neatest thing she did was take her clothes out of her closet,
build in a desk and make herself an office. She took off the closet door
and hung love-beads.
