Special Delivery!

Yesterday as our family gathered for Thanksgiving my youngest brother Ryan had a surprise waiting for me...

Remember that empty red wall in our bedroom (our big summer painting project) that's been waiting for it's debut piece?

Well, here's the finished product--and I absolutely LOVE IT!



I gave him a color swatch, a few ideas and said, "think Tuscany", and this is what materialized (with Sarah coaching from the sidelines of course). I wish the photo would have turned out better so you could appreciate the detail. The red patches of flowers really pop against the wall color.

In the words of Natalia this afternoon, "it's bootiful!" don't ya think? She also said, "I want it in MY bedroom!"
