First room up is Hannah's room.
First design disaster: every darn thing in the house was the same colour. The wall tiles, doorknobs, toilet seat, architraves, trim, doors, splashback, floor tiles, carpet, bathtub and shower stall. Yucky beige.
We've painted the living room (still painting and trying to decide on furniture and artwork so not quite ready for reveal yet).. and Hannah's room.
It feels wonderful that there is now ONE room 90% completed.
(Still have to paint the doors and window trim)

After:
Secret: I've NEVER held a roller brush before. And only paintbrushes to furniture and craft. So family were shocked that I'd chosen a very strong colour. But I stuck to my guns... and after two coats of Chilled Wine (a purply red) by Haymes Paint:
I actually love this room. Everytime I pass the room in the hallway, the warmth invites me in. :)

Looks good, I love the bold pink. Are the curtains staying? I'm not sure they match, but I do like the bold colours of the room.
hi hayley, thanks for leaving a comment :) it's not a pink, it's actually a deep purply-red. spastic camera, i think!
the curtains are lovely, i wanted it not to "match"... just wanted the colours in the room to be strong and invigorating and inspiring to my v. active and creative little one :)
I love the colours! Well done! Bold decision, that definitely works.
Love the curtains as well.
Enjoy your new place.
i don't really fancy the curtains - the colors clash. i love the room color. is it pink? does hannah like her new room?
Love the light and the fun color. Also, I've never seen lights around a crib - what FUN. Good for you, Hannah, you've done a wonderful job and you and Hannah will enjoy her room so much!!!
Very cute.. I can see why you love it every time you pass by! Is the chandelier from Ikea? I think I have the same one just waiting to be hung! So pretty!
That's a GREAT colour! Fun and cheery but sofisticated still! Thank God you stuck with your guns huh?!! I like the crib too. I'll be planning a baby room soon too but we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl? So...maybe next month....
la la lovely: thanks! it IS from Ikea. it's soooo pretty. pity the camera doesn't pick up the pretty patterns it makes on the paint, which i chose in low sheen to pick up any light.
tayzt-buds: thanks, i did want it for a little girl but easily updated to a little woman... with the right furniture and all it can look incredibly bluff-grown up :)
congratulations on your pregnancy too! i couldn't stand not knowing, i wanted to be able to call my bump a he or she straightaway :)
