71/365 – Flower Power

My house is driving me insane at the moment. With a 20 month old tornado whooshing around it seems to be in a constant state of CHAOS!! And i honestly have no energy to keep it fresh and clean.

The only corner of the house that I find calming is Xander’s nursery. DH and I painted the entire room to look like an enchanted forest. In particular I love these smiley face flowers waving in the breeze near his change table. They were one of those “best creative mistakes I ever made”!! Originally in my sketches I had planned on us painting a little field of tall poppies or some other lifelike flower, but I was just having so much trouble sketching them out to look realistic that at the last minute I completely changed track and went for these whimsical beauties instead.

BEST CHOICE EVER!!!

Every time I look at the flowers I smile, and Xander does too!!
