First of all I thought I had better update you on the plans. Still no full plans but the Draftsman did email me last week. Apparently he is just waiting on the energy efficiency report and then he will hand over everything (YAY) along with the invoice (BOO).
Now onto the room for my daughter and daughter-to-be. As I said earlier they will now be sharing as we didn't want to have to go two storey and we want to keep our house a manageable size to live in until we are too old. My daughter told me she wanted a pink, purple, green and blue room!! I wasn't really sure how I would manage that but after scouring Pinterest I have come up with something!
I'm planning a feature wall like this except with green instead of dark blue:
I'm thinking blue for the other walls. The final wall will have built in wardrobes in white across it. The colours I have chosen from Dulux are Iced Vovo (Pink), Blackberry Sorbet (Purple), Applegate (Green) and Wild Clary (Blue). Their bed will go along the feature wall. I'm going to go with low, white wooden bunk beds.
Toy storage-wise I have a cube unit that I'd like to get some white wicker boxes to fit into. Then I will paint the cube unit Iced Vovo at this stage.
I love these decor ideas too:
Again I haven't really picked soft furnishings. For a light though they will have a baby pink chandelier from Ivory and Deene:
Okay onto the decorating plans for my middle child and son number 2 :)
His favourite colour is green so he wanted a vibrant green on his walls. Lime green can be a bit overwhelming so we decided to also mix in some navy and grey. His walls will be similar to my eldest's with the stripes just with different colours. So far we have picked Dulux Zatar Leaf for the walls with Dulux Passionate Blue for the large stripe and Dulux Timeless Grey accents. Here are some of the inspiration pictures:
I also want to create a bit of a rustic/industrial feel with wood and metal. He will be having the barrel cupboard I bought for the boys' current room. You can see it in this pic:
So I'd like to add a few other elements in the form of shelving and keeping his bed bare wood. Inspiration:
I also like the idea of adding some map elements. Maybe an old looking world map made into a pinboard so he can record his travels and I love the map fabric that you can choose to cover a chair with at Fantastic Furniture (I'd go the Wing Chair):
Not entirely sure yet!
Again I am yet to choose soft furnishings but there's no rush. He will also have a chrome pendant from Bunnings:
You know how I said I was bad with my constant mind changes about how I want the house? Well this is probably my worst yet ＼(●o○;)ノ I have decided on a different house altogether! I know, I'm so indecisive! However I think this design might work better as it's Federation style like a lot of the houses around my town. It's still one of the Freedom series by Kitome.
I'll draw up another plan for you in paint when I have time to show you how we will divide up the space. If you click on the link though it will take you to the floor plan (which will be much more accurate than mine)!!
This house is single story and also is narrow enough that our front door could actually face the street which would be nice. I've also already found a picture of a Federation house that has a colour scheme I want to use:
This colour scheme should also match our existing shed and fence as they are both a heritage green colour!
So there you go! I'm crazy aren't I?! It will be a miracle if our house even gets built at this rate!
