Nothing has changed other than more boxes being added for storage and a deflated jumping castle for the children. We are currently working on landscaping and once that is done, upstairs is the last project on the list. Our plan is still to have a fixed cinema screen on the back wall and a projector dropping from the beam in the ceiling. Other than that, still a work of art...

Thankyou so much for your ideas and the pictures. I really like the style of the first photo and while we aren't quite that luxe or extravagant, it was a picture like this that first inspired my initial ideas of a gold (type) feature wall. Unfortunately, it appears metallics are harder to source and even harder to DIY. I was informed I would probably neeed to pay a professional. We tossed around wallpaper but dismissed it quite early. Maybe i need to revisit it further. Thankyou again!

Hello Elpi, I really love how you have chosen to display the mirror and artwork on the chosen walls. In regards to the buffet, I think you will find the space isn't blending nicely because it may be a little over crowded. If possible, I would see how it looks mounting the mirror to the wall, and changing to decorations with noticeably different heights. You could still use some of the items that you already have, but possibly opting for a few more that are shorter and rounder, as opposed to tall and skinny. A good place to start might be adding items that are similar colours to that of the artwork. I also, I think this would also help the dining room merge with the living room, which seems a lot softer and doesn't feature as many straight lines. Look for small, rounded coloured decorations, similar to the attached images as inspiration. Good Luck!

congratulations...exciting times..as big reader says, get rid of everything that you won't use immediately...assuming limited storage in a rental perhaps the car seat and whatever the framework is can be stored under the cot...place a big sheet under the mattress to hang down and hide the storage...i would move the chair into the corner next to the window and add a small table (a plastic upside down toy box would suit) so you have somewhere to place a drink while you sit with your feet up...the furniture looks lovely so only needs a dust and wipe over and make sure handles are securely attached and clean and add fresh liners inside the drawers, absolutely attach the bookshelf to the wall (only needs small L shaped brackets from hardware store) choose some new bedding in your favourite colours (baby doesn't care as long as you're happy) and add some block out curtains and a lap rug
