Sophisticated teen room

It's been a long and busy summer and I'm finally getting some down time to sit and post a few blog entries. I had a fabulous family employ my services to redo almost the entire house these past few months and I had a wonderful time doing it. I don't think I can pick a favorite room, so I'm sure I'll be chronicling all of them.

The first I'd like to brag about was for a dear 16 year old girl who is, of course, growing up and wanted something modern and more sophisticated for her room.

"Mom" and I started with the shower curtain that was purchased for her daughter's bathroom. As many accessories are today, the colors were aqua and chocolate. Our teen was very adamant that we needed to include fleur de lis in the design. As I do with many of my murals, I first mocked up an idea or two on the computer of a design for the main wall. A few revisions and this is what we came up with. There is nothing quite as satisfying as a sweet

sixteen year old telling you "you are my hero for making my room so cool". :)
