The Pink Room Renovations

Emily's bedroom was the coldest room upstairs due to no insulation and being on the colder side of the house.  Therefore it was important to fix this room first!  Our friend Karl Goodwin put in the Pink Batts fixed the gibboard in this room. We purposely kept the walls to original - in other words there are no straight walls!  :) One of the things we wanted to avoid was the 'new house' look and lose the character and feel of the very old house that we love so much.

A built in wardrobe has also been installed so that clothes and belongings can be stored away!

This room was the brightest hot pink you could imagine!  Emily loved it - and so did I!  It was brave, vibrant and cheerful!!    However we are going to go for boring and paint this room an antique white.  This way we can use this room for our international students and will be able to  change the soft furnishings to suit either a boy or girl!  I can make the soft furnishings exciting!  :)

The White Pointer "white with hint of grey" was OK - but a little cold and impersonal. (Note:  Double White Pointer is what the rest of the house is in now - and as it has more yellow in it - making it greige - it is a lot warmer.)  So we chose another colour - one that can be prettied up for a girl and made masculine using black and blue for any boys that may use the room!

Much better - Louis and Elise painted the walls.
