What color did you pick for your children's bedrooms?
Comments (4)We used SW Simply Beige in all rooms of house to keep the palette neutral for now. The boys wanted blue and we wanted to keep it light and airy, so we chose SW Rarified Air. The best way to choose is to take the paint sample chips to the house and put the contenders up on at least 2 walls in the rooms to be painted to see what the colors will look like in your space with your lighting. Whatever the color looks like in the store, it is guaranteed not to look the same in your house--different mix of natural and artificial light and shadows. Once painted, definitely give the paint a few days to completely dry and make sure the trim is also painted before deciding whether or not the color works for you.

Comments (7)If your insistent on not having the extra doors... I would rather walk through the bathroom to get to the closet like in some master suite set-ups. Preferably putting a pocket door on the closet, add a vent fan large enough to handle both the closet and bathrooms. Plus I might consider having the electrician wire the lights so that when the light is switched on the fan ALWAYS comes on as well - to help the steam issue. Just my 2 cents....See MoreChildren's bedroom
Comments (12)It must depend on what they get used to and what all they keep in there...and your budget, of course. Our older teens will have rooms to themselves at 10 x 9 each. They are so happy to have rooms alone, there are fine with the size. They have a built-in desk and 6 ft (not walk-in) closet that aren't counted in the size. They each have dbl/full beds. The others are 3 to a room, and the sizes are about 250 sq ft...I can't give exact dimensions because they aren't full rectangles, but it's equivalent to approx 14 x 16...The variation in shape allows for more wall space and alcove-like areas for the oldest in the room. Those rooms will have built in units instead of closets...Hanging space and drawers, so that separate dressers aren't necessary. Each child will also have drawers under their beds. Each room will accommodate the 3 beds, 3 nightstands, 1 or 2 small desks and some shelves. We would have larger rooms if we could, but they're in smaller ones now, so it will be wonderful, especially with the well-planned storage. I think storage and room where room is needed is the key, more than overall size. Best wishes on your plans....See MoreWhite Glaze over mural in Children's Bedroom
Comments (5)Did you ever decide what to do? I think the mural looks precious as it is! I wouldn't paint over it. I did something sort of similar in my DD's room when she was 4. Garden of semi-abstract flowers, sun/moon and a sky of clouds and stars. Mine was more pastel. She's the princess of pink. She's now 14/nearly 15, and she has forbidden me to ever repaint! Always ;-) Hunzi hoping your DD finds it as precious...See Morewildchild2x2
