How would I turn a 3 bedroom into a 4 bedroom?
Comments (29)I know you will hate me for this, but please understand my view point. I am an old house LOVER! I also spent twenty years as a banker trying to talk people into understanding that their future home purchase had to be about love....and practicality. When you are in love with a house you think that the fact that it slapped around the last owners was likely because they were bad owners...they probably deserved it because they didn't do the maintenance you would do to keep it in check. You justify the little issues like the third eye as something minor instead of realizing that a third eye is not actually a normal thing and will require some seriously expensive custom lenses. You turn a wet basement into a couple puddles.... Ten years,..no lets make it five if you get the house....if you find that my pessimistic attitude was totally incorrect and your home turned out to be perfect beyond compare...please tell me I am wrong so I can learn a lesson. But if on the other hand my gazillion years of trying to make people understand that they should buy a home they love....but should equally involve their brains and heart in the equation turns out to make some sense in your potential chris brown like situation.....well be sure to share that valuable experience as well so that others can learn from you...and make light of your experience because "that will never happen to them". I tried to buy the egg and I farm as a young wife ohhhhh so many years ago thinking that a house with walls falling down and a tree growing in the living room just needed our tender and inexperienced care to bring it back.....the bank laughed...thank god!...See MoreHelp me fix this bedroom?
Comments (53)Ann you room is so cool! I have a very similar wedding ring quilt from my grandma, but the background of mine is cream. It was on my bed as a kid and one day when I should have been napping, I drew on it with a pen! (I was four, not recently!) I hope I can someday find a way to restore the quilt (some of the squares have disintegrated too) and use it in a room. Edited to add that I just may use your room as MY inspiration in my current bedroom redo. I have a dresser across from the bed and an old antique rocker from grandma too. And windows in the same spot. And I have a white blanket I could use on my bed, along with another intact quilt. And white pillow shams and a white dustruffle. The only problem with my room is that it has ugly blue carpet that I am not able to get rid of right now. But it is actually the same color as that dresser, so your color scheme would actually sort of work for me. Another difference is that my woodwork is not painted, but I think I can still bring some elements in from your room to great effect! I am a total ditz when it comes to decorating so I do well to "copy" others as a base. Of course not an exact copy, but the general aesthetic....See MoreEast Facing Bedroom - Wall Colour Help please
Comments (7)I had a similar problem in my east facing living room. Everything I tried had sickly green undertone. (And I actually love green, but not like that) I ended up going with Benjamin Moore Sea Pearl. It's been almost ten years and I still love it. It was a close call between that and Done Wing, but the Sea Pearl felt cleaner. I also remember liking Edgecome Gray, but it was too close in depth to our carpet a t the time. I also had the same issue in our master bath, and ended up using Etiquette from the aura colors. Little darker than the sea pearl and perfect with our tile and cabinet. Might be worth looking at as well....See MoreBedroom Wall color HELP!!!!!
Comments (1)I’d keep the honeydew as it a fresh color and great backdrop for the white furniture. Change the bedding, not the walls....See MoreEve
