The boy's got taste

must get it from me!
i don't know about those with teenage girls, but it seems that with teenage boys, you can't hold onto the furniture you buy for them as a toddler. why??? because apparently as they grow their feet begin to hang off the bed, okay some girls may have this problem, but i know at 5'1", I don't and haven't--such was the case for PJ. we purchased his bedroom furniture when he was a baby in the hopes that that would be it, we even got the twin bed to match.
needless to say mother nature has created a need for round 2 of furniture shopping which began on saturday. fortunately, i didn't have to go on this excursion as i had my knitting (class)group over for the morning. i was completely taken back when i was shown what he picked out, i must say i was actually pea-green with envy, he picked this group, ain't it gorgeous!
and will look lovely with the pale mustardy-gold walls.



the cheeky bugger did have the nerve to ask if he could paint the walls BLACK, um that would be NO!!! then he asked if he could get black bedding, again, No, but maybe we can incorporate the black with the bedding-not sure when we're going to have a chance to shop for sheets, etc. he has been threatened with bodily harm if he mistreats this stuff, can't wait to see it!

BTW, Steve ordered me the end table that matches the coffee table for the living room, so it was a win-win for me.

Wow, that's a very pretty set, and looks oddly like something I just drooled over for myself...

He's got a good eye!

You go P.J. So glad your feet will no longer hang of. Nana
