Cont'd- House


So, more on the house. It is a 3 bed 2 ba house. Built in 1923, so it is very old. But to me, on the inside, it has had lots of updates and looks great. We saw alot of old houses, and this one I would have never guessed what that old. It has new appliances (yah!) and a nice big eat in kitchen!! The cabinets are pretty good, as long as i have cabinets im happy! It is 2000sq ft. which is more than we ever thought we would get and has a HUGE YARD!!!!! Those two things probably sold us on the house the most!
One awkward thing is that each bedroom is on a seperate floor. So ours will be on the main floor, and then there is one upstairs and downstairs. Our plan is to put Hayden upstairs, and then put the girl on this "landing" upstairs, and then if , BIG IF, she is a good sleeper after 6 months to a year, have her and H share a room. Im hoping it will work! But well see, we have options......
So, the picture above is of H's room. Most of the house has pretty nuetral colors, beige, etc, so im not really thinking of painting a ton. But i was thinking of painting H's room. Im not so worried about a color cause i was thinking lighter blue or green, and then when we move the girl in, well just put her stuff on the wall and Im sure it will be fine. Im not a huge lover of pink, but i know well have some pink.......but pink can go with both of those. So i have been looking at pics online for ideas.......but im not very confident in this home decorating/ painting area. So if anyone out there has ideas, or pics,.......throw them at me! Ive picked one color, green, once for a bathroom, and its ok, it just ended up being a little light. So im ready for advice!

Cute room!! Huge yard is awesome!

Paint colours are very hard....my best suggestion is: BUY the smaple can!! It is usually like $7 (maybe less in the US), or maybe pick a few colours that you like, and then paint a little bit on the wall. It will always look sooo different in your house then at the store! That is my only advice..... have fun!!
