From Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale

People disappear when they die. Their voices, their laughter, the warmth of their breath. Their flesh. Eventually their bones. All living mempry of them ceases. This is both dreadful and natural. Yet for some there is an exception to this annihilation. For in the books they write they continut to exist. We can rediscover them. Their humour, their tone of voice, their moods. Through the written word they can anger you or make you happy. They can comfort you. They can perplex you. They can alter you. All this, even though they are dead. Like flies in amber, like corpses frozen in ice, that which according to the laws of nature should pass away is, by the miracle of ink on paper, preserved. It is a kind of magic.

I popped over to James' blog.. and had to run away fast. He has pictures of the boys up and their adventures and I welled up REAL fast.

Without permission and or an idea of what their rooms actually look like here are my ideas for their rooms. More ideas to be forthcoming.

Grey's room:


Skipper's room:


Sorry their so sketchy, I whipped them up while Scott's student was doing his final.Aidan's is more object focused... Grey's is more about the colors and decorating the existing stuff (thus all the misspelled words).

Aidan's wall under the chair rail gets to be a grassy green, The dresser is red with black drawers and the toy box is... *shrug* red too... or wood... whatever.

Grey's desk and dresser are blue and the drawers and writing space on the desk are decoupaged with old comic book pages. The wall to the garage will be an accent of bright blue with superheros painted on it.

Like my ideas?
