  1. How quaint and cute! I love how he had different areas set up and of course, the clothes in the tool box! :) But, where was the kitchen?

  2. Dear Janet, I cannot believe that such a stylishly designed, well appointed room is in a garage. I love it. However, looking at the drum kit, I am pleased that it is in a garage -well away from anyone's drawing room!!

  3. Even cuter...I just noticed the vintage suitcases and the artwork on the wall between the shutters!!! Love it.

  4. Son # 2 is a very natty dresser Janet!
    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree ...
    and look at those shoes, he's a man after my own heart.

    My daughters' beau has just moved into a space not unlike this...with a drum set too...he's named it the Sneaker Box because it's so small.

  16. Having looked at the drum kit, I hope that the garage wasn't attached to the house!

  20. How timely this post is for me.
    My son is moving out this weekend into a house with two of his friends.
    I am under no illusion that his room will be tidy, rather more like a moshpit.
    Half of me is quite sad, while the other is happy. Is this the normal reaction J ?

    Your lad has loads of style. Love the toolbox and shoes.

  23. Ladys,

    Thank you for the nice complements. I learned everything i know in this world from my mother.

    I literally had no money when i lived in that filthy garage, but living in style is the only way to live, so i had to fix it up a little...

    Maybe there will be pictures of my new home next month...haha...

    Thanks mom.

    -Alexander

    Someone has pretty stylish taste in footwear, and nicely polished to boot ( no pun was intended there)

    My #2 son is also a drummer :)

  35. I've never seen such a stylish garage living situation. Mostly refugees and overstayers with not nearly as much panache...

    He clearly takes after his mother. Love the antlers.

    fiona - thanks. he seems to follow in my footsteps, poor boy.
