This is a love letter to my son’s room:
I want to start my thanking you for being such a warm and loving space for Marcus. I can’t say it was your four walls that inspired me, but they have been an unlikely canvas for my some of my better creative expressions.
My vision began to form one night at canvas and cocktails (virgin mimosas) when I was about six months pregnant. We picked a class that would allot us the opportunity to paint something for “that baby”’s room. We (my friend Sharon and I) chose to paint panda bears. The instructor of the class gave us the freedom to pick a background color for our pandas to live in and I chose a bright green (Pandas live in the jungle, right?). With two decisions; pandas + green, I embarked on a journey of making you the beloved space you are today.
Thank you for keeping us cool, warm, entertained and open to the construction site across the street. We love your energy and hope that you will continue to bring us good nights of sleep and sound proofing for our neighbors.
All my gratitude,
Tira
