| While
Clayton was at his dad's for the summer, we decided to
paint his room in a space theme. It took us two weeks
and we were putting the final touches on it right before
we left to pick him up at the airport. |
 |
 |
| Moon:
I always knew Kenny hung the moon and this proves it.
He painted the moon on Clayton's wall at the foot of his
bed. |
Neptune:
I painted Neptune behind Clayton's bed so he could see
it when he sleeps. |
 |
 |
| Earth:
I started painting the Earth and began to get very frustrated
with the outcome. Kenny saved it by adding the clouds
around the waters, which made it look much more realistic. |
Russian
Stamps : I bought several sheets of Russian space stamps
and a Kennedy Space Center patch off Ebay and framed them
over one of his shelves. |
 |
 |
| Venus:
This was the first planet Kenny painted and it looks nearly
identical to the pic we had of it. |
Milky
Way: Do you have any idea how hard it is to paint the
Milky Way galaxy with wall latex? I couldn't do it...that's
why I asked Kenny to. :D |
 |
 |
| Chest
of Drawers: This is a chest of drawers my dad gave me
for Clayton when he was born. I painted it black to match
the room and put new handles on it. There was a very scary
polyeurethane moment, but everything worked out well. |
Planet
X and Comet: Planet X was my first planet to paint...I
just wanted a RED planet on the wall somewhere. I added
a comet flying over it and Kenny came in later adding
small moons and stars around it. |
 |
 |
| Jupiter:
I painted the bottom portion of Jupiter over Clayton's
top bunk at the last minute because it just needed something
else in that area. Kenny painted Mars (orange planet)
after that. |
Map:
I found this old planet map on Ebay and got it right away.
It is somewhat outdated, as it was printed in 1968. We
framed it in bulletproof plexiglass as it was all we could
find in this size. |
 |
 |
| Sun:
I painted the sun complete with solar flares which is
no easy task with wall paints, let me tell you. |
Saturn:
Kenny painted Saturn and I wish this was a better picture
so you could see just how good of a job he did. |
 |
|
| Satellite:
Kenny made Clayton a satellite light switch plate with
his scoll saw. He painted it with model paints and glued
black plastic ties to the back. I LOVE this thing...it's
so cute and it looks like it's orbiting Venus! |
