Decorating the Kids' Room

Hubby has finally decided to do something about the baby room. We bought some paint last weekend to repaint our study room (originally is our master bedroom), which will be the future baby's room....actually the kids' room because eventually Trenyce and Kaden will be sleeping in that room until we decide to move out of this house.


We got the paint from ICI (aka Dulux). The paint we chose was specially meant for use in baby or children's room. Perhaps it uses less chemical? Anyway, hubby decided to use apple green as he felt that green is soothing for the children's eyes and not too loud for the kids....though father-in-law thinks otherwise. He felt the colour was a little bland and we should use more vibrant colours but didnt exactly spelt out the colours :p


Hubby took one whole afternoon to paint half the room so the other half of the room is still in the "old" colour. We also went to Ikea the same weekend to get some ideas to decorate the kids' room. We chose a few furniture and decided to go back home to do the measurements before we confirmed on the items. In fact, to 'overhaul' the study room means we have to shift the furniture in our bedroom too otherwise there is no way we can put in the baby cot. We are likely to get a chest of drawers (6 drawers) and a bookshelf, perhaps a CD tower too. The chest of drawers to put the kids' clothing and the bookshelf is to shift all the books from the study room to our bedroom. We are still heistating whether to get a kid's wardrobe......hmmm....


Anyway, shall wait till hubby completes the painting this weekend then the real decor can begin......

I love those kid furnitures from Ikea. Wait until I have my own house first, then I will go copy the style. :P
