Found a great shabby chic desk for $350 but DD said it looked "old" and scratched and she wanted a new one :roll:. Who said giving kids options was a good idea. So we found her another one on sale - 30% off original price .. I hope it lasts until her tweens because it was double the price ...

Our daughters room is 3.1w x 5.4 and we find it is not wide enough for a desk, bedside and king single bed. Although the length is good, we have 2 doors (she has an ensuite) and large windows, which reduces the wall space. IMO just be careful about door placement and you should be fine. Another opti...

I wouldn't. We looked at hydronic heating and were strongly advised against timber floors. Part of the reason for H/H is the eco friendly aspect - tiles or cement are much better options for passive heating. I have heard of floors cracking with hydronic heating - personal experience from the guy who...

I love green with wooden furniture. We used a lime green from Porters for a feature wall in my DD's previous bedroom. She had a lot of wooden furniture and white accessories and it looked great. We also put sea blue throws/ornaments into the room for added effect. It's a nice combination.
