Input Needed on DD's Bedroom Makeover
Comments (16)Val, I thought you'd like that bedroom. This friend is very talented in doing childrens room. She has a son too. Actually everything I've seen that she's done is magnificent. She really should blog, but she's quite busy redoing an old home they just purchased. Now let me tell you first, that I'm pretty much the last person that would normally tell you to do this as I happen to be a wood lover. Love the grain, the varying wood tones and just hate the thought of painting good wood. Deep breath. When looking at the furniture you have for your daughter I would think very hard about painting this before buying something else to paint. The chest of drawers would be so darling painted aqua with glass knobs and pulls to replace the current hardware. All you'd have to do was sand it or use a liquid sander to dull the finish, prime and paint. The bed could be painted the same way maybe using glass door knobs as finials on the bed posts. You can find them online if you search discount glass doorknobs for a very reasonable price. The desk would be harder to give the look you are going for since it's a bit MCM in styling so I'd replace that, but maybe look for a pretty dressing table like the one my friend used that could serve as a desk with the mirror down and later as a dressing table. And again, the bookcase you have now, more likely a combination of cabinet quality oak plywood and solid oak, with a little added crown molding along with a decorative base would look great painted too. Annaglypta wallpaper for the back of the shelves would add a cute touch too. Talk to hubby, tell him a wood grain nut that was given the salutation of "ack don't paint that!" by friends who know her well, thinks it's not a bad thing to paint these items. If you were going to keep them for use elsewhere in your home it would be a different story, but since you'll be selling them anyway to someone else that might paint them, why go to the trouble of buying something old from someone else just to paint it and then have to turn around and hopefully make what you spent on the old stuff in selling your stuff. I hope that made sense. I should be in bed....See MoreMaster bedroom ideas...I need input please
Comments (4)Thanks Loribee, I'd like a mirror, but I also love when people have mirrors behind the bedside tables. I'm wondering if that would look good. It's hard to think of what would go over the bed too. Because the bed is so ornate and big and the ceiling is high. I have such a hard time picking art. Beth P....See MoreMaster bedroom input wanted.
Comments (13)We have looked at over 75 houses and lots. We have $150000.00 to make changes. The house being on a lot with one of the most popular fly fishing spots around make it worth the headache of a remodel. A builder has looked at the house and says the bump outs aren't really structural as long as they stay under 4 feet extended out. Basically like adding a box bay window. Not to go into overkill regarding our needs, but we have 10 dogs, we will still have 6-7 by the time we move. Finding an area that allows for us to build a kennel severely limits where we can live. We have to find areas with really mellow hoa rules. If it makes any difference, this is how the front will kind of function, minus the second story. The steps to the right are where visitors will enter. Bump outs are in red siding. Pretty much no one but me, DH and 2 kids will use the other steps as there will be a gate across the driveway. We will leave at least one dog loose in that area, deter intruders and but mostly to keep deer out of the garden area that wraps around the back....See MoreNeed help with paint color ideas for daughter's bedroom
Comments (9)Love that bed, those curtains and a classic look! Hard to tell colors in the curtains, but maybe a soft blush or cream for paint? We changed my youngest daughters room four different times throughout her years. Paint and comforters, tried to stick with furniture pieces that would age with her. At one point, she had pink, lime, purple and zebra! She picked it out and loved it at the time, but looking back- I'm not sure how she fell asleep, I know it jarred my senses when I was in there! She's evolved to a more 'serene' style in her college years, thank goodness!...See MoreRelated Professionals
