A Hare-y bedroom

9 years ago
Im about to embark on designing this bedroom. I have some specific ideas for the room. I would love some feedback on my ideas, and help along the way when i screw it all up :)
My inspiration for this room is the amazing boxing hare poster by claude kuhn. i love it. BUT i dont love the green. The two blue mass produced art pieces you see on the wall will be used to paint my own boxing hares similar to the poster and put one over each headboard, and then Ill go from there!

Some 'HARE'y Items
Comments (10)Candy, love the cupboard. I would love to paint one if I thought I had time and could find one. Then I would have to ship it to Karen because I wouldn't have a place to put it.LOL The bed is so neat. I have a couple of old ones that I've kept just in case.lol I love the flowere beds made out of them. Luvs, isn't it funny how we want new and then love the old again. Love your story about your bed for DGD. I came home years ago and DH had put old HBoards for gates in our yard and I came unglued. Now I would probably love it.

Comments (6)Yep - you can cause HELL for the current home owner. Just like complaining about a car sitting on the street for over 24hours... Course - your actually trying to BUY the house.... "Tennessee Ground Water Protection Division" might be able to scream at them... Demand they upgrade the system - or remove the bedrooms. So they could remove the bedrooms. Undo the entire remod. Course the house will be off the market then, and you wouldn't want to buy it - since it would no longer be a 5 bedroom house... People remodel stuff all the time without permits. And I know of no house that is perfect. A manufactured house can have bedrooms added to it. Safely. Even without the county's blessings. Instead of trying to FORCE the current homeowner to do something - why don't you try communication and negotiating?? The current homeowner doesn't have to do anything. They can take the house off the market. Have you offered full price? They can refuse to sell to you - if you have not offered full price. You obviously have a counter-offer based on the septic - so they do as well. They might decide they don't wish to redo the septic. And say no go to your 'offer'. You have 5.5 acres of land. It is possible - but maybe unlikely - that in all of these 5.5 acres - no land would be suitable for a 5 bedroom septic. I mean - what if the septic can't be ugraded?? My brother lives on a lot of land, and the cost to upgrade his septic is quite high... It functions fine, but now the county demands that it meets code when the house is sold... and it does not currently meet code. It met code when built - but not now... It is not in the sellers best interest to have tests conducted to see if the current septic, or surounding land can be made to function for a 5 bedroom house. He has a 5 bedroom house. It functions for his family. If a septic eval states that his septic is not adequate for a 5 bedroom house, and cannot be upgraded - this makes his house virtually worthless. He must disclose this info on the disclosure form, etc. So - it is not in his best interests to allow a septic eval - when his septic functions fine. Course - an eval might state it is adequate for a 5 bedroom house... Then he's fine... Don't know what the septic rules are in Tenn. If you like the house, you might try teaching your children to be more careful about what they're doing, and still go ahead with the purchase. Only a septic eval can determine if this is sufficient. And ground conditions, etc. SUBSTANTIALLY come into play with the cost for a septic. NO WAY are you going to know the cost to 'upgrade' without a substantial eval. And if the county doesn't require it to be brought up to code during a sell - as here where I live - than no way are you going to FORCE this guy to do it... I can't believe how adversarial people are! If the septic is currently working fine for 6 people, and you like the house - buy it - and do yearly maintenance on the septic, don't have a garbage disposal, flush tampons, etc.......See MorePics of Monorail Silver in dd's bedroom
Comments (10)I know, Cyn...puberty is a tragic thing, lol! :) Actually, that giant purple pillow pet still sleeps with her (he was residing out of sight on the other side of the bed for the photo!) She drags him to every sleepover & even on planes. I'm sure people love seeing us trundling up the aisle!...See MorePlease help me breathe life into an old bedroom
Comments (23)I actually like the color of the walnut. Perhaps doing the inset w/a tufted velvet would bring some life into it. you could also try a diff color on the wall? right now everything is very neutral, which is fine, but you will need to bring in some textures or prints if you want some 'life'. If you notice in your inspo pic, all the diff textures, the art work, the pendant lights, floating nightstands, etc. yours is bordering on a hotel look. So, if you're sentimental about the set, then you'll have to figure out some other elements to offset it's generic headboard look. Putting in a rustic wall w/that furniture, as is, won't work. Painting the wall another color and putting in a white velvet or linen inset might work though....See More

9 years agoHas anyone married anyone on this thread yet? How do you get nearly 2,000 comments for your silly little bedroom? No disrespect for the bedroom, but really? Or is it some sort of counter-culture - like those Matisse goats? People go nuts about nonsense? I guess so! Good luck to you, very amusing!
