If you've watched any of the webinar collection, you've probably heard me saying something about taking "artistic liberties." When you're drawing in two dimension, it's difficult to show the furnishings in perspective - they tend to be narrowed down and flattened. So we don't actually show how things look in real life. This is where I got in trouble with the attached rendering of a baby boy's nursery transitioning into a big boy's room. I wanted to use a chaise longue in the nursery and used the two wall template with the side wall at an exaggerated angle to show the chaise better. Then I switched the crib to a bed and wondered why (duh?!) I could no longer fit the chaise. I did a quick but to-scale floorplan and realized there was only enough room because I had made that wider angled wall to fit! Literally back to the drawing board and substituted a comfy chair instead. If you want the crib/bed and changing table templates, email me at corky301@aol.com
PS what got me going on this theme was being inspired by an hombre herringbone patterned paint technique on a wall. It morphed into more of a chevron design which then made me think of arrows and on to Native American accessories and the Ralph Lauren fabrics that could grow with the baby.
