My DS loves black and charcoal. Thank god! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Complimentary Colours...... 28Dec 30, 2008 8:58 am SuH I like the thought of a darker blue Mrs B, rather than adding another, totally different colour, but I like to play it a bit safe Hi Su Yes I like the dark blue Michelle picked as well...older son would like that! If I can find the right bed linen, the rest of the colours will work themselves out. Hi Jo Charcoal is a really nice colour...will see if it works in my blue and green colour scheme Mrs B Re: Complimentary Colours...... 29Dec 30, 2008 9:54 am Hi Mrs. B,
I love those 3 colours above..they look great together. Could you maybe use just 2 of those colours together as a theme throughout the 3 rooms ( ie green and linen..or blue and linen...but the green and linen would be my 1st choice! ) then add one more colour to each room to individualise it? Like - all of the above for one room, green, linen and red for another and green, linen and another colour ( perhaps a lighter blue or a shade of purple for the littlest one??

Being a fellow mum of 3 boys I feel your pain!!! My eldest has a great Coast range (sheridan) doona with the 2 tones of blue and then green - calpyso. Its now discountinued. But you might find it around somewhere. It simple stripes but looks lovely with a feature wall behind. Its bright but also classy if that makes any sense. One of my other kids has an adairs kids train style doona, with red, brown,navy etc again looks lovely with a bright feature wall. Also great as he is only little and it was near impossible finding a queen doona in a kids design but now adairs kids range comes in queen. Hope this helps Re: Complimentary Colours...... 32Dec 30, 2008 2:23 pm Southies OKaaaay......I'm obviously not with it but can I ask why littlies need queen size doonas ? Not sure about the Queen size, but I always had a double on my DD’s single bed while she was growing up. The thrasher shark, as I used to call her, could never keep the covers on her at night! The bigger the doona the better she was covered at night. Kids tend to move a lot more than adults, most of the time, covers are thrown off, ok in summer, but not good in winter.

Well today I saw my house painted inside and can I say that Antique White USA is such a stunning white! I took some pics, will post later but photos dont do the colour any justice. Mrs B Re: Complimentary Colours...... 36Dec 30, 2008 4:21 pm I know I shouldn’t say this because you are waiting to get in, but I can’t wait to see your house finished!!!
Glad you are feeling better today. Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Complimentary Colours...... 37Dec 30, 2008 4:53 pm Yes it is a little bit of overkill.
DH and I had 2 q Bed when we met, so the eldest has a queen (at 5!), then we inherited a double (youngest at 2!) from in laws beach house... so another queen doona... then the middle child has 2 singles... go figure. Re: Complimentary Colours...... 38Dec 30, 2008 5:01 pm We are planning on replacing our boys standard single beds with kingsize singles once we move. Not sure i want them having doubles or queens just yet. But they'll both be more than 6ft hmm ,( 180 cms )tall and soon in the case of our 13 yr old i would think. He's 167cm now at 13 and 3 months. Their singles will go into the guest room. If eventually their beds need replacing for something else as adults then the kings will go into the guest room and the older singles will be gotten rid of. Re: Complimentary Colours...... 39Dec 30, 2008 5:57 pm Hi Mrs B
I think a really dark bitter chocolate colour would look good with the green, linen (colour = semi salted) and blue colours. If you want to individualise the rooms maybe go with d/s semi salted and a dark blue (like Michelle suggested) for the second room. They will then look quite different. Depends how you are planning on using the colours i.e. I know you have the kiwi green on the cupboards ... maybe do semisalted, blue and thin chocolate stripe feature on one wall and then get plain coloured doonas. ... Dunno its just a thought . Feature doonas can make the room look quite busy ... I think I found the Warwick fabric with the green, linen and blue ... its called Seaway! edit: I've been interchanging the word linen with both the colour and fabric ... sorry for confusion . The Warwick fabric is a cotton linen mix. Re: Complimentary Colours...... 40Dec 30, 2008 7:30 pm Hi Mrs B, I'm another one with 3 boys
