So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Create A Room Fit For A Boy

By Kelly Jackson

As you know the design which you choose for your little boy when he is an infant won't usually stick around as he gets older. You'll have to accommodate which items he enjoys along with the characters or movies which strike his attention and then base the rooms design around that. It is quite simple once your little boy is able to tell you what items strike his attention such as sports, movies, books, and even characters off of the television shows which he watches daily. Being able to design a room which maybe he'll be able to create with you is a great bonding experience along with a great idea to do for your little one.

You want to make sure you figure out what exactly he is looking for in his room. Whether he likes a specific sports team, base the design around that or if it is a movie or show which he can't get enough of. It is even great if you're able to search online or go into the store and show him what is out there. He might not be aware of other themes or designs that he can have if he doesn't know about them.

Another great idea is just to make the rooms theme out of colors. You won't need to pick a specific item or person to base the rooms design around. By choosing colors which may be his favorite or ones that he has showed you, you can create whatever you want out of it. There are many colors out there which for a child's room which would look wonderful.

Once the theme has been decided, do a bit of research about it to get a better idea of the look you want to achieve. For example, a theme inspired by the Disney film Cars could call for the whole room to be painted in red, black and white. Cars merchandise like bed covers and printed area rugs make an immediate statement about the theme. Cars-themed toys and fixtures help complete the overall themed look of the space.

Dinosaurs are another great theme little boys may choose. Try painting the room in greens and blues along with a boarder or a great mural or wallpaper piece that has dinosaurs on them or the background of their territory. Tying this theme in with the dcor is quite simple even if you can't find enough dinosaur items in the stores. It's a great way to have your little man be adventurous in his own bedroom.

There's a wide range of merchandise on the market to support any kind of themed room your child wants. If a specific item isn't available commercially, you could also contact an artist or a craftsman to do a custom job for the room. Just be sure to talk with the artist or craftsman about space, design and budget limitations before the job gets started.

No matter the time and effort you have put into decorating this room for your little boy he'll enjoy every space and every item you've placed in here. This will be his own spot where he can relax, play, and enjoy what his parents have designed for him.
