corinna from Hunter & Ivy's Profile

Hi everyone- I'm the person that designed this room, so I will try and answer your questions. The carpet is polypropylene, bought as a remnant from a carpet shop for $30- but after trying to lay it ourselves for hours and it looking awful, we hired a carpet layer to professionally install it. This was actually the toughest part of the Reno!
There is a fan which sits on top of the cupboard next to the bed to use on hot days and we will use just a small bar heater or similar in winter if necessary, but haven't required one yet. My husband and I were very, very vigilant in stuffing really good insulation into every tiny nook and cranny, so this really helps with temperature control.
The blinds can fully open or be pulled right up if you want ( my son never does this...). There is also a set of sheer curtains on either side of the glass doors if he prefers to use these- which he does pull across when the doors are open as they sway nicely in the wind.
The rug is indeed from urban outfitters and the mirror I made myself when I couldn't find one I liked to go in the room. It's just an mdf board with a cheap cupboard mirror that you can buy at hardware stores for about $30 - I then spent about 3 nights layering driftwood around the frame, allowing time for the glue to set. The most girls I've seen on the bed at the same time as my son is 5... The wooden boxes I bought from a strawberry farm that used to use them for picking- each one was handmade by the original owner about 40 years ago. I still have a few and could probably get more. Re where did the rest of the stuff get stored? In our attic and underneath our house. Will get another shed for the side of the house when we figure out some more stuff.
Dillon (my son) lives in the room all year round now. No toilet etc, yes that would have been way too expensive and the room is much too small anyway. He just trundles across the garden into the house when nature calls.

If it was my bathroom, I would actually paint the wooden cabinets a deep grey to complement the granite top and silver handles. This way, my colour options broaden out more than if I stay with the orange timber. I would then paint the walls in a semigloss acrylic in a colour such as Farrow & Ball's Pavilion Gray, which is a kind of ' greige'- you know, half grey, half beige. With this neutral kind of background, I would then go crazy with colours in accessories - bright shower curtain, towels etc.
