it's perfect! you did an amazing job!
it looks great, I love the colour on the walls and the gallery looks fantastic
Wow, that's so lovely and inspiration - what a great new space. Commercial building rooms are normally very depressing - same with counseling waiting rooms - but this is so beautiful! Its going to mean lot to a lot of kids :)
The transformation is great. I love how positive and interesting the new look is. And yey for all that generosity too.
It looks amazing! And how generous of everyone (including yourself)!
Christina - this is beautiful! I can tell you put so much work and thought into this space. I love that you not only focused on improving the space visually but you obviously made a big effort to make sure the space would function better, too - giving children something fun to do and giving parents and children opportunities to interact in what might be a tense or uncomfortable situation.
Great work - you should be really proud of how it turned out!
it looks awesome!!!you did a wonderful job :)
It looks SO good!!! So much more cheerful than before. :-) Great job!

you must be so proud! it turned out to be amazing. my heart breaks for the families that have to be there but to know that there is a nice space for them to go... it's really sweet.
congrats. i wish they had something like this for kids when i was younger.
Freaking awesome!! It really looks amazing, such a huge transformation. And the space is so warm and cozy which I would imagine is only helpful given the need to the room. I love all of the artwork used and the layout of the room is fantastic. Great work.
It looks incredible--so proud! They're lucky to have had you. :)
it looks amazing christina! you (and the sponsors) knocked it out of the park :) not to mention, that striped dress is so cute on you! xo.

What an incredible transformation!! Wow you've got a great eye for it. Well done. Now come decorate my house for me please? hehe :)
What an amazing space! I love the soft, calming blue, and all the beautiful, positive touches, plus the interactive board. You have created a space that says "we care about you" and "you matter to us." So beautifully done, and so generous of you and everyone who donated time and pieces to this project.
Wow...what a great job you've done! Love the blue walls and the red chairs - looks great! Your photo wall is fab too.
SOOO wonderful! love it! :) good work!
christina, this is absolutely fantastic - in all senses of the word. everything looks so, so delightful - i'm sure this makeover will make things so much easier for the people who are going to use this room. and it's wonderful to see people working so hard doing something for those who need it. well done, we're proud of you!!
Awesome! You did a wonderful job!! it looks calm and welcoming. Love the colour on the walls with all the artwork and that chalk board wall looks fun!

Just found your blog. I love what has been done to the visitation rooms. We have been doing foster care for 9 years and have adopted 9 kids over the last 15 years. I know the kids will be blessed from your work.
Thank you.
I just happened upon your blog. So inspiring! Is that Sherwin Williams color called "Bluebell," by any chance? My husband and I just pained our living room in that exact shade. I love it! (And I may need the "love will save the day" print). Thanks for sharing! xo.
@nicole- the sherwin williams color is actually called open sky. i bet your color looks great in the living room.
so wonderful!
Thanks for the inspiring post. Great job & lovely to read about the generosity too!
