Cool..

If the extreme makeover people came to my house, I would want my room to look like the punisher's apartment :P

That is pretty cool, I especially like the colors on the wall. The paint job was pretty much perfect, I wouldn't even dare to that to my room since I would end up leaving traces of paint all over the floor and walls.

You definately went poster crazy. @_@

Hmmm, you were very busy. So, how much do you charge for these extreme makeovers? I could use some help. ^__^;;

I love yellow and your room looks about the same color as my family room, which is a Mexican sun color - very bright and cheery.

I also think after reading the posts, that Archan could find a job as an interior decorator if the whole art thing doesn't pan out. ;)

Very nice :thumb: and it looked like a lot of hard work.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Oh, very nice! I'm very glad you're not afraid of color. And I completely envy all your posters/wall space. They're awesome.

How long did it take you to do?
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

LOL, well, that depends. Does it involve painting? >.<
Heh, I can just imagine telling my parents I'm off to paint some woman they've never met's house in Dallas. They'll think I'm off my rocker.
But in all seriousness, if you really wanted to I could help brainstorm with you...(not sure if this was completely a joke or not)

Oh, very nice! I'm very glad you're not afraid of color. And I completely envy all your posters/wall space. They're awesome.

Thanks! The posters on the long wall were probably the hardest part, because I had to think in advance about "ok if I put this here, what will I put here and here and here?" But I'm SO happy with it. Mom LOVED it, she was so excited. As for how long it took:
8-9 hours straight painting. It took so long because my room is pretty large (it's one of those optional study suites) and I did it all by myself. My parents were shocked when they came in from work that I did it all in one day. O.o
After that, it took another 3.5 hours to arrange all of the posters. So...all in all that's like, 12 hours worth of work or so.

I have to say it was one of the most fulfilling moments of my life. From start to finish, I did everything by myself. I consulted my parents and asked their opinions on things, but I decided the layout, bought the paint with my own money, painted every inch myself (sometimes it was so tedious, I thought I would toss the bucket on the wall, and when anyone asked about it I'd answer in haiku I was an art student XD) , then arranged all of the decorations myself. It really made me feel like a bonafide adult.

Very nice. *claps* It is amazing how much time can be sucked into putting up posters in just the right places. I spent 5-6 hours putting all of mine up. I'll post pictures if anyone is curious.
