We have a small, empty room in the house that we're turning into a cozy family room. Yesterday Ray and I painted it, and next week we're spending a day at IKEA to buy everything we'll need to furnish the room. I don't have good pics, as I just used the iPhone (yeah, I really need to start using the proper digital camera, I know!). Here's what I have though. It turned out fabulous! We're totally in love with it, and totally proud! I can't wait to get the furniture in, can't wait to hang out in it, less than a month to go till we move.
Have you looked into downloading Google Sketchup? It's free, and might help you visualise things better. Don't know what to think about that dark a purple. Perhaps you have a plan regarding bright draperies to accent it with.
Recently my boyfriend, Ray, inherited a small house in his hometown, Clara, Co. Offaly, Ireland. It's nearly 80 years old, it's full of tiny rooms, and needs a lot of work, but we love making plans, changing them, getting frustrated, agreeing on something, disagreeing, changing our minds again, settling on an idea, and then finding out we've planned for the impossible. The idea is to nearly double the size, redo just about everything, and end up with a place to call home, where we'll be able to raise a family and spend our lives together. This is just the beginning of a long road, and this blog is where we'll document the process.
Looks so good!
