I think the best you can do is to have a chat with your husband and find out why he wouldn't be ok with pink in his sons room? It sounds like that is the problem?

As for the room, it is really just about the shade of pink what it will look like. It can be anything from a fairytale princess to a sleek and minimalist choice.

I think it's great that you let your little one be himself and have the color he wants. I wish more parents were like you, and I hope that your husband see that too (i'm sure he does).

Get a bunch of smaller mirrors and glue them do the edge, creating a kind of venetian mirror.

Or get them cut into some other shapes, if you do not like the squares.

While the sofa is kind of cool, the color is a huge contrast to the grey walls, thereby bringing out both the grey and the orange. I think it gets much to hard for such a small space.

There are two ways to go:
1. Add lots of colors: Add brigtly colored pillows, artwork (doesnt have to be expensive), rugs, wases etc to create a room that will be colorful, but probably not look big or serene.

2. Or add white. Get rid of the sofa and add a lot of white and neutral tones. Complement with a touch of a warm color - burgundy in winter, dark pink in summer?. This will make the room look bigger and more cozy, but you must remember to add more textile and art (as these are the antidotes of "prison feeling").

And add mirrors!

Good luck!

Amazing!

Definitely a good choice to paint the wood work - keeping the wood would have made it impossible to get the harmony in the room - it would have been to many colors (as is often the case with unpainted wood). I think it was a great decision.

I think the consoles are called Walter? And then there are standard shelves on that? They need to be stained, though (in Sweden IKEA also carries the stain + brushes, so it is quite an easy task).

It is easy to understand.

The goods will sell for the double price on ebay. These people will earn quite a lot, so naturally it makes sense to buy everything you can get your hands on.

(I don't approve of it, but I understand why people buy it all - it is not to be used in their homes, but to make a profit.)

The man who built our house comitted suicide about 6 months after we bought it. His family still lives close by, but we never knew him.

I like to think that hopefully he is happy that somebody is taking care of his house and making it a home. I think the girl in the house you are thinking about might feel the same -grateful that you are taking care of her home.

I agree with Blandwagon and agef - Very nice, but I would never have guessed Paris. I just feel that it is like a lived-in IKEA showroom. Sorry.

And while I love the color on the wall, I think it feels a lot smaller and more cluttered than it had too... White walls might be boring, but they definitely bring more light into a room...

Then again, all tastes are different. :-)

The curtains really doesnt have to be in front of the windows at all. Hang them by the side to avoid losing any light.

Curtains could soften the room and make it more cozy, but it all depends on the style you want.

Lovely.

But the problem is the dust... dusty indoor gardens are simply gross, I think.
