New Rooms

With me feeling better more and more each day, my thoughts have turned to the impending living arrangements.

I have ideas. But I’m not going to be OCD about this! (Remember, self, remember!).

The best part is (Wyatt) that my plans are all REALLY inexpensive. No new furniture to buy except MAYBE a used little artists desk off KSL (it must be used because if I’m getting one, I’m going to paint it). I’m only painting two of the three rooms (In Olivia’s room I’m leaving the walls white but plan to do scrolley viney floral accents in a pearly white). Everything else will be hand made with inexpensive supplies, most of which I already have. Aren’t you so proud of me Wyatt?

So here’s my initial sketches. I drew out my ideas, then each kid drew over it with their ideas 😉

Olivia’s is the most detailed because it is the most concrete in my mind. It’s the room I plan to start with, so I’ve been thinking about it the most.

Ideas for Olivia’s room:

• colors: Lemon and Pink lemonade with watermelon as the accent color
• Glass stars to be hung on the walls and windows.
• Sheer curtains encrusted with sparkles (get out my bedazzler!)
• Pearlescent wall accents
• floating shelves
• tissue paper star puffs
• artists desk? (if there’s room)
• wall frames with childrens art/childhood collages
• goldfish hanging in a bowl
• giant paper star

 

 

The Boy’s Room (Calvin and Everett)

I haven’t exactly worked out the details of this room yet, they are still taking shape in my mind, but here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

• Colors: Pale Blue, Red & White
• Keys on the walls/key mobile/chandelier
• Picture collages with classic children’s art and pictures of my kiddos
• Shadow Boxes with their baby things

 

And last, but certainly not least is the baby’s room:

• Colors: A warm cream and pale, dusty pink.
• Curtains crusted with sparkles, tied with giant daisy tieback.
• Pink tissue paper puffs
• Recover the chair
• Baby crib net (already have one of these – made it when I was expecting Olivia!)
• Maybe make some bedding – if I can find some fabric that I LOVE
• Stripes on the walls above the shelves in pink/pink (really close, maybe one or two shades off from each other), the rest of the room cream.
• fairy dolls (converted barbies I think)
• Frog Prince piggy bank (where to find one of these?)

I want the baby’s room to be rather simple. It’s a small room with a lot of furniture in it, so I want to keep it low key.

And there you have it – my ideas . . . so far.
