Ohdeedoh Kids' Color ContestEntry #44: Brewer's Imagination Cubby

Ohdeedoh Kids' Color Contest
Entry #44: Brewer's Imagination Cubby

Name: Candice
Location: Charleston, SC
Child: Brewer, 3

Inspiration: My son seemed to be born with a great imagination, but he wasn't allowing himself to explore it alone...

Inspiration continued: ...he always needed to be around adults to play. I figured if i wanted him to start playing in his room i needed to make it appealing for a child! it worked because he LOVES his room now!

Tip for Using Color: For a child's room, or any other room for that matter, I always use color as a punch! i like neutral walls, simple furniture and bedding and use the fun accessories and art to display the color. It helps in not overwhelming the space and draws the attention to what really matters...especially to a child!

Colors Used:
Walls: "Fisherman's Net" American Tradition (Lowes's)
Chair : Puff Chair in brushed scarlett denim Canvas Storage Bins: ClosetMaid in Red
Rug: a find from Big Lot's
Painting: Brewer's daddy painted it in highschool ;)

i think changing out the curtains would do a lot for this room.

I love this room in general, but not so much for the color specifically.

I think color correcting the first photo would do you a world of good in this contest. I don't know if you get to resubmit, but that's dragging your results way down.

Also, the not-playing-by-themselves thing is very typical of three.

I am so in love with that bed. My Grandmother had 2 beds in her apt when I was growing up that looked very similar to that. My Aunt has promised them to me when she is done with them, but after seeing this room I should ask for them now.

i â¥ it too! it was a perfect find for his room and i think it was only $25 or so....he has a pillowtop mattress and all other vintage beds we have put his mattress up WAY too high. this one worked perfectly!
