i did some organizing of his things and his new bed provided much needed storage (i also purchased new bedding and blanket). kai loves to play in his room when he has friends over and so i kept some his favourite things on display and accessible instead of neatly behind cupboard doors.
he needed a reading light and love the orange vintage one we found (instead of orange walls he got an orange lamp!). not much light gets in so i added a new second lamp too. it's not a very big room so to lighten things up further we painted the walls the same off-white as the rest of the house.
the furniture and art was rearranged too and i like it a lot better this way. the changes were small but i think the total effect is calm and playful.
what i most want to share about kai's room is the new photograph. kai loves his hot wheels so i had a few of his cars photographed and i love how it turned out. he loves the photo too and i've enjoyed listening to him share the personal nature of the photo with friends. i couldn't decide on a frame so i had it stretched on fabric instead. claudette, the photographer, was so lovely to work with. i attended one of her photography workshops last year. to see more of claudette's work visit her website and blog; she has the best job! thank you claudette.
