In my oldest's room I'm doing toile de Jouy wallpaper on one wall (navy on cream background with a forest/ stag/castle theme) pale blue on the other three, seagrass on the floor,antique wooden chest, navy blue bed and blue and brown bedlinen.<BR/>Thhe whole lot is tastefully accessorized by piles of dirty laundry, of course.<BR/>In the twins bedroom everything is white(walls and ceiling) except the floor (seagrass again)and a chest of drawers each (one pale blue, one green) They loved the all white walls beams and ceiling and requested white beds and bedlinen. Accessorized by a black cat, dirty laundry and so much stuff that the room looks really colourful now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750202319098126195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-48047990707141232822008-11-02T02:50:00.000+10:002008-11-02T02:50:00.000+10:00Same thing here: the shoe box is getting too small...Same thing here: the shoe box is getting too small.<BR/>I just got the German AD magazine with a long article about kids rooms (I think the author was thinking about BOYs rooms).

I have teenage boys and it is much more difficult! One room is painted a pale brown/tan with chocolate, teal and burnt orange thrown in. The other has baby blue walls with darker blues,oranges, yellows, and browns mixed in. We had the blues and reds when they were little and this is just a little something different.prettywithribbonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707401877841648196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-8675197545584708622008-11-01T04:06:00.000+10:002008-11-01T04:06:00.000+10:00What a gorgeous room it will be.

Although we do allow him framed Spiderman images or posters on the back of his closet doors. That way when he decides he likes some other super hero we can change it easily. <BR/><BR/>I believe we need to teach our children how to develop taste, but also as you said we need to listen to their opinions. When they are around beautiful things they develop such a great eye that it is actually fun to see their ideas and incorporate them into the room. I cannot wait until we move again so we can do another room for him. I love classic rooms and navy/white too.<BR/><BR/>Happy day,<BR/>Melissa<BR/>xoxoMelissa @ The Inspired Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711494549892860307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-61052983201604788932008-10-29T10:27:00.000+10:002008-10-29T10:27:00.000+10:00Anna - you make me laugh - I love the no spiderman...Anna - you make me laugh - I love the no spiderman bedlinen comment - I can relate! :-):-)<BR/><BR/>I think Harry's room will look FABULOUS<BR/><BR/>Love Felicityblahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986116573395562455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-13332429450251582512008-10-29T09:49:00.000+10:002008-10-29T09:49:00.000+10:00A boys room like you have designed is just perfect...A boys room like you have designed is just perfect!
