Aaliyah's Room - Revealed

It has taken some time to reveal Aaliyah's room. Mainly because it took longer to finish the room itself, let alone play around with the furniture to get it looking good. Aaliyah's brief was chic, feminine and classy so we had to balance that with the existing chattels of the home itself. 

Believe it or not, first thing that came was carpet.  This bedroom had wonderful wooden floor boards exposed unlike the rest of our bedrooms which are all carpeted.  Beautiful? Yes.  Practical? Not in the winter.  I found a match of the existing carpet in the home and the solution was resolved.

All the paint colours match that from our lounge.  The ceiling and architraves is aoraki quarter with the main wall colour sandfly point.  All colours are from the dulux range.  

Aaliyah had a mix match of different types of furniture so we decided to paint them all the same colour to tie the colour scheme in.  In fact, we painted everything with the exception of the birdcage, orchid and bed linen.

Aaliyah did think of a feature wall for her room, however she couldn't decide what that would be so we made all the walls the same.  This idea isn't completely out off the books though, as I think a different colour behind her bed would really add to the awesomeness of her headboard.  I blogged about this in HEADBOARD GETS MAKEOVER.

We are still playing around with little things in the room, and there is some wall art that is a work in progress, but for now we are happy with the finished result and Aaliyah is happy she has her room back.

Happy living peeps!!
