our pocket room plans

january10 041 our pocket room plans

A few weeks ago I wrote about the pocket-sized floor plans that I found on Apartment Therapy. Over the holidays I had a chance to make some for our home: I’ve started with our living room and dining room. Mine aren’t exactly pocket-size, which is fine for me because I don’t carry a purse. I used 4×6 inch index cards, the blank side has a floor plan including dimensions and colour swatches, and the lined side I’m using for notes about the room, which is so far just window and furniture sizes.

I’m going to keep them in a 4×6 envelope in the glove compartment of my car, that way if I’m out and I see something that might work in our space I have all the information with me to make an informed purchase. I might stick one of those little ikea tape measures in there too.

loving bedroom photo collection

I saw this polaroid heart in Cookie magazine last year and I can’t stop thinking about it.  It’s so inspiring!  Think of all the different shapes that you could do.  A wave could be really cool, especially if you could organize the images by colour so it really flows across the wall. Read More »
