Austin and Joey's Room

Our very first bedroom project was at the home of Austin and Joey.

The boys were beyond thrilled as they entered their new room Saturday afternoon, after much anticipation. Austin and Joey gleamed as their eyes traveled across their “healing” bedroom filled with their favorite things! Calming walls the color of a crisp blue sky covered the room & wall murals of fighter jets about to land on their new “runway” desks created much excitement.

To match, the new ceiling fan was a moving jet flying over their heads, and their new, comfortable bedding was as soft as ever! The brothers will be able to spend time in their room, on those bad days, and feel like they are in a special place. They’ll be able to make paper airplanes, listen to the sounds of nature, read stories and watch movies on their brand new TV. They’ll be able to block out the sun when they aren’t feeling so good by using the shading and window treatments they did not have before. The new carpet will provide a soft, cushy feeling under their little boy toes.

Hopefully, you have begun to imagine how special this was for us as the givers. There is nothing like the feeling of helping someone else. There is nothing like the excited expression on a child’s face, or, for that matter, the feeling of gratitude when looking at the tears in their parents’ eyes.
