For Serena's room we want to give it a fairy tale theme. Simple and quaint. We think that would be funner than a nauseating Disney theme, we have all seen those rooms that do not contain a single corner where Cinderella's face is not staring you down, pillow cases, wall paper, sandals, posters, toys... no offense to those who have those rooms and ABSOLUTELY no offense to the Disney princesses. We both love the Disney movies and know that Serena will get a lot of enjoyment getting dressed up and pretending she is Snow White or something. We just thought it would be great if we had the Fairy Tale motif that just seemed noncommercial and unbranded, so that the she can create her OWN world as she arouses her own sense of imagination. Westin designed this in Illustrator, he has part of a story that goes with it, but he wants to wait to solidify the storyline of his drawings until Serena's curiosity causes her to ask questions. Hopefully this will be one of many pictures...
Let us know what you think.

very creative. i agree that some princess rooms can be way over done, and way too much pink. i also think it's important to have a picture of Jesus and the temple in a childs room. My in-laws have a ton of art up in their house, and not one church themed picture. kids need the reminder. who knows, maybe the picture of Jesus will sooth her on nights when it seems like nothing else will.
"Once there was a young lad named Westin. He did not like wearing shirts. He always believed he could fly, so he fashioned himself wings. He could not fly. And so he had to comfort himself with sitting in trees and pretending like he could fly.
"A plus of trees though: all the jokes about nuts he could imagine!
"One day a young fairy named Chelsea came along. She could for real fly. She could also make fireballs with her hands. When she first met Westin, she thought about blowing him up with those fireballs. But after he sent her a Technical Text Message, she changed her mind, they fell in love and then they copulated.
"That's where you came from."
That's how I imagine that story going. Nice.
Very cool...

I like it! And I'm glad it's not all Disney - I absolutely love Disney princesses, but I think they can really get overdone and cheesey in a room. And I agree with what Wendy and Will said that too much pink on the walls is bad, so I definitely like this idea better. And the story is really fun too!
