I'm excited to read everyone's experiences, so I don't want anyone to feel neglected if I also comment on Lou-lou's career as a kitchen designer: HOW COOL!!!!! I'm ADDICTED to HGTV and the like. We have a new house that doesn't need re-habbing, but it's blah. One of those tract houses (sp.?). The master bedrm and baby room are next projects. The living rm is mostly done.
cool.

A,
What a noble profession you have. You must be a very warm and caring person to do your job!! We need more people like you to help the "forgotten people" that are amoung us.
The nursery and bedroom will be a blast!! Buy lot's of magazine's (of which is your taste; traditional home etc) and get ideas from them. I stare at every detail of a picture I want to emulate and look at it for a good 1/2 hour to try and disect (sp?) all of the different themes and colors and patterns chosen.
Then I'll translate it into my own color scheme or room size.
Best of luck to you. I went mental when doing my son's room!! I bought too many magazines and was soon overwhelmed with great ideas (of which all would have cost a bloody fortune). Beware of that trap!!
