I am having another look here for inspiration! Unfortunately not allowed to paint DDs room in new house. DS's is easy as doing Union Jack/London theme, so can keep walls Magnolia (although I don't want to) But I have painted DS's furniture white, and pink accessories, but wanted white and pink walls. White furniture doesn't seem right with magnolia.

Have found this material as I find magnolia has a yellow, and sometimes pinky tint ... so hoping to paint all furniture ivory and use this material ... https://www.fabricworld.uk.com/webs...fabricworld.uk.com/public_html/site/node/1788 so trying to think of a theme, for a small box room, where that wont look to 'in yer face' !!!

Love that fabric Pikkle! Can you not paint the walls and just paint them back again when you leave?! You could use some pink and white wall stickers to sort of tie the furniture in with the walls?


I made these for someone yesterday, what do you think? Can't decide whether to sell them in my shop or not!

I love them! Yes sell them in your shop, and sell them to me! LOL!

No can't paint walls and repaint Not really sure why! Also, we are buying the house in a couple of years (long story, new build, can't be sold for 2 years but the owner doesn't want to live there anymore so renting to us for 2 yrs, then we are buying, and money from rent is deposit, kind of ... long story!) but, until its ours she has asked us to leave it how it is Boo hoo.

I always find white and magnolia don't look right. I don't know if she'd even be happy with wall stickers, so its going to have to be pictures and accessories I guess.

I love the fabric, was hoping to have curtains and a duvet set made, and then try and find those colour/style accessories to go with it??

SBB do you mind me asking where you got the little bookshelves from in your gorgeous nursery? They're really cute.

SBB i love the butterflies

Pikkle that's annoying about not being able to change stuff, BUT on the other hand it gives you 2 years to see how the house works for you, and where you'd like things etc...
I think that fabric is lovely and will look great with other things the same colour. If the room is pretty small I'd be tempted to pick one of the colours from it put for the curtains, and use that fabric for the bed (get a sheet or two made from it too), maybe a blind, and also use it on the wall. I'll post a great link in a bit that uses sewing hoops and fabric to put on the wall...

The shelves are just ikea ribba photo frame shelves, they are great for his books!

Thanks cmc

I actually do sell the pics on etsy but I have taken them off cos I don't have time really!

Thats a good idea, about the curtains, and possibly a cheaper alternative, giving that the fabric is about £14 per metre! I think I may go for the pink, although I may just go for cream, with pink, or that fabric tie backs. I also thought about sewing a panel of the fabric onto plain curtains, but I think the pattern is a bit too 'big' for just a strip.

What would you suggest with the fabric on the walls? I actually sent for a sample from 2 companies, so I have two small samples of it, that I didn't want to waste! The one is a bit small, but has the bird pic on, so was wondering about cutting that out and doing something with it! And the other, is about 30cm x 30cm, so thought about maybe doing something with it and displaying it (don't know what though!)

The show home of my house, has harlequin wallpaper and duvet sets etc in the room that will be DDs, and I think the pattern works quite well, if everything else is plain (harlequin fabric was the one I orginally wanted but cost £28 pm)

I just want her to have a lovely room!!!! Have designed kitchen and living room. Kitchen is deep red high gloss units, and solid oak finish on floor and units, with stainless steel oven and splashback. all intergrated so no fridges etc on show, so am just tying cream accessories in as walls are, magnolia *rolls eyes* and brown and green front room.

How much do you sell your pictures for?

Can you see that? I'm not sure which room it brings up first, but Amelies room with be the smallest one (decorated in bird theme on there) I'll be living next door to that exact house, lol ... so can pop in for inspiration!

 

[SBB]

You could also use the fabric to make these if you're handy with a sewing machine? Ikea do some double curtain poles that would work.

You could use your samples (plus other samples) to create the round wall pieces https://www.domesticadventure.com/2010/12/the-nursery-reveal/ sewing hoops are really cheap.

The showhome looks great, love the birdies!

My pics are about £60 for a small and £100 for a large one, I'm not really making them at the moment though (apart from the one I did yesterday obviously) cos I'm trying to set up the nursery site!

[Pikkle]

I'm terrible with a sewing machine But have book marked the page, I'm sure I can rope my mother into helping! Thanks, thats great!

Show home is lovely, a bit blue and plain for me (DS told me he thinks they need 60 minute makeover to go and make it nicer!) But my house will never look like a show home with these pair making a mess out of fresh air!!!!

I love the idea's, thanks so much! I'm off to create a mood board, lol!

Thought i'd resurrect this thread cause i am collating a pinteresting board for ideas for DDs room. I've spent ages browsing online and can't seem to find any decent fabric / children's bedding websites that are more stylish than just the norm. I want to do DDs room soon, but not in typical girlie colours/patterns etc. Anyone know of any?

 

[Hayley90]

Oooh this is a cool thread that i havent seen before!! I love some of the rooms posted already

Harrison has a Hungry caterpillar room... it wasnt very common when we did it, now everyone is on the bandwagon and i feel sad that its not as unique as it used to be We had a lot of this handmade by my mum, as bed sheets and things werent being sold!!

I found Glenna Jean and Hoohobbers have different styles. They probably only sell in the US and are both very expensive! So not sure if that helps you at all. I got a Glenna Jean set from a boutique that was a display clearnanced out. Some of the colors bled when I washed it?? The company wont do anything b/c it was a display. I am really surprised b/c they have a great reputation...

 

[DarlingMe]

I have been posting pics with progress so these might look familiar. Finally done!! I wish I could figure out how to get them a little bigger or add more than 5 at a time. I hope they come up ok!

 

[DarlingMe]

round 2 of pics, can only do 5 at a time!

Thanks! Not really in the UK though after a looking on a google search.

Hayley that's very nice!!

Darlingme use photobucket to upload your pica you can alter the size then just paste the IMG code into your post! Looks great anyway!

Sausages I found it impossible too... I found one nice one at mamas and papas but they don't sell it anymore and it was different to what they usually sell.

Vertbaudet sometimes do some nice stuff (but their service is shocking).

I am actually in the process of opening an online store, and I'll be getting some really nice modern cot sheets and covers etc made up, but it may be a few weeks yet!

[SBB]

Sausages theres mairo stuff on sale on achica.com today, not sure if any of that might be any good?
