I love the blue you are doing in his room and even though I do love the apple green, I agree with you...they could be a little overpowering. I have myself used paintable wallpaper and in fact using the beadboard in the back of my kitchen cabinets I am working on...love it!! It gives just enough texture and it's paintable...so great!! I love the basket weave you have in yours...I was thinking what about a natural color in the back like a light sandy brown? It would be a neutral but still give a little pop of something other than white. Will love to see what you do! I am sure it will look great!! Would love to have you stop by and see my changes I have added in my kitchen...it is coming along. :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />VictoriaVictoria Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475170017543951636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-53182359089682037222010-03-18T14:25:03.909-04:002010-03-18T14:25:03.909-04:00LOVE the navy!!

I never would have thought to use wallpaper in a different way.<br /><br /> I'm sure u have something amazing planned but I just wnated to suggest an idea to you. You could actually paint it white and use the navy color in rectangular boxes like ppl do with white molding. I dont know the proper name for it {wainscotting?}, drawing a blank, but I hope u know what im saying. Its a very classic look and i think it would look great in this already amazing room. =)Salmeennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-86834711062731254452010-03-18T11:57:11.379-04:002010-03-18T11:57:11.379-04:00I love it!

I have been planning out all week long on building built-ins in my sons room and it helped so much seeing yours all complete! I am going to "marry" the two of his together with a shelf along the top and his trundle bed will sit inbetween the two built ins. I'm so excited, I can't wait to start!! I think I'll be heading to Lowes to day to check out what kind of cabinets they have. I would like to have drawers in the bottom of mine, as opposed to the doors. I want it for clothing so I can rid his room of another piece of furniture! Thanks SO much for this today, I needed it!
