Home Design/Decor Thread

[SeaGlass Siren]

Hey guys! I posted this in the "wavedancing forum" as well so i thought i'd share it here too.



After fishing for a few threads to see if there were any similar threads like this one, i decided to make one dedicated to interior design and how to make your own little humble mermaid abode. I hope the moderators and admins dont mind that i put the thread under traditional art since.. Home design technically falls under other art .__. that stuff is more difficult than it looks... but i digress.

Reason for this thread creation is that I bought my house over the summer; papers signed, payments made. All that's left is to go to the design office and have the house built!
but i had no ideas in my mind about what to do to make my home...mine. and after collecting a few images and stuff, i thought it'd be really nice to share with my sea sisters and brothers!
and i also would like to see what sort of designs and ideas you guys can come up with as well!

so i shall start.

i wrote about what kind of home i will have in my blog (one of the images is messed up..) so you guys can see what it kind of looks like.

I think my sense of style has kind of IMPROVED a bit. when i was in grade 5 i watched a lot of debbie travis painted house shows and other home decor/design challenge shows, and since i lived in a tiny apartment with my big family, i've always wanted to have my own dream home and fill it with all this cool stuff. when i look back on the images they looked childish. and even though i still want my mermaidy ocean home, i kept wondering.. how should i upgrade the look without sacrificing the awesome? and low and behold the above images in the links showed up.

Quite excited to share the process with everyone once the plans are in motion! i've always wanted to do this!
