My creative space…
I’m working on a bit of a decorator challenge.
I don’t think I’ve shared a pic of the kid’s lounge but it’s all decked out in apple green & blue. The walls are looking a bit bare though. I got lucky on a little thrifting adventure recently & purchased a book full of working drawings for the State Bank of Victoria.
I’m going to put them up on the wall to add a bit of interest (& perhaps encourage one of them to become a builder).
Do pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

Take it from me, this is so much cleverer than putting stuff on the walls to encourage one of ‘em to be an artist…

Does that mean you have the plans to rob the bank?
Great photo and can’t wait to see the finished product on the wall

Sounds like a great plan, it is always nice to have something a bit more interesting and different from the norm in a kids room

Building is where it’s at – my Man already has Suspence’s future mapped out for him… or should that be blueprinted…??
Kristine

Wow, they take me back. My grandfather had blueprints like that for the house he and my grandmother built when my mother was a girl. How lovely.

Gosh you got lucky alright, my son who wants to be an architect would die for something like that in his room. thanks for sharing your creative space and allowing others to do so too. x

ha, yes better you hope they become builders and not architects, I certainly didn’t know how poorly they were paid when I was studying it… it wouldn’t have stopped my though anyway

Sounds like a great idea. Hopefully it doesn’t inspire one of them to be a bank robber! (hehehe)
My picture for linky did not work for some reason…?

You will have to share pics of the end result, it’s sounds intriguing.

Oh a builder in the family would be wonderful!! Can’t wait to see what you create. Wishing you a gorgeous weekend

What a great idea. My son Mihali is not overly interested in craft or drawing but he is fascinated by skeletons so i have taken to putting medical charts around his room and puzzles of the human body. It is about time we had a Doctor in the family.
Its great to be back at Creative Space, it is looking good by the way.

Man I would just love a dedicated “kid’s lounge”. As it is our lounge room is also our dining room, my craft room, the occasional bedroom, and kid’s playroom. Bloody Sydney!
Can’t wait to see how these look up on the wall.

While you do walls, I’m back to dresses, dresses and more dresses!

what a find! all the CAD generated printed plans of today just dont have the same charm.
we’re building at the moment and i’m seeing building plans in my sleep (along with taps, tiles, carpet, light fittings, paint swatches and laminate samples…)
Melanie

What a great idea! We’re hoping that all the lego playing going on is going to encourage our little one to become an architect or engineer – it worked for her uncle!

what an amazing thrifting find! Why don’t they ever seem to have decent stuff at the places I go to?? All I ever seem to find are three year old copies of Womens Weekly and fake wedgwood tea cups…

Hi. I’m new to playing along so I just thought I’d stop and say hi
Those blueprints will be fascinating on the wall! Look forward to seeing the finished product…
