The room.

The room is nothing spectacular.
The dimensions are only 9 by 9 (just a rough estimate here).
There is just one window, perhaps it could be said to be the 'heart' of the room as it does drawn you in and make you want to take a peek at the beyond. The view is not magnificent, but serene. You can see a lush green lawn beyond our wooden gates, and willowly trees huddled in a circle around the basketball court. Our own yard is still in desperate need of work, but you can see the possibilities. Visions of a perennial plants and flowers dotting the landscape come to mind and seem to beckon you to be inspired to do something, to take up those garden shears and big straw hat and toil away under the watchful sun on a lazy summer day.
I can imagine the Kid curling up beside the window, a book on his lap, and rain caressing the windows. I hope his imagination will run wild with pirates, safari trips, and voyages to worlds beyond right beside that window, the heart of the room.

The rest of the corner sanctuary consists of stark white walls and a closet, now filled high with memories from his baby years. The closet can use a tweak or two here and there; the white walls though, alas, cannot be touched. Upon receiving word of this, my heart did sink a little. I am tired of white walls, it would've been nice to color things up for a change.

For flooring, we have soft, beige carpeting. This too cannot be removed.

So we have one window, white walls, beige carpeting, and a closet in a 9 by 9 room.

What can we do with that?
