found this quite interesting in terms of how the rooms are joined

Illustration

This image caught my eye whilst i was searching for inspiration.

The picture is by a victorian european illustrator for childrens books. I think the colours incorporate both the warm and cool (see previous post)and i could see this hanging in the living room. It is a nice nod to the parents perhaps a love of art and collectors items and also a kind of irony with the beetle in the picture.

I think it could really add to the room

ideas

im liking the ideas and the shape of the room. Can you post the next meeting in plenty of time because i missed the last one because when i looked at the blog it wasnt there. Is there a meeting tomorrow? Ill look out for it and have Jess's number so she can let me know.

I think sarahs right about colours and textures

I also think maybe the bedroom should be quite bare- as in later on in his transformation. I say this because we will have a limited budget and the idea of having quite a cluttered look in the living room will not be cheap! I have done some mood boards for colour ideas and really like the idea of green in the bedroom and a complimentary colour in the living room eg reds pinks, cream oranges etc. as this is a nice METAPHOR for the relationship between parents and son.- what does everyone think?

Hopefully see everyone tomorrow or thursday for a meeting.

cheers then Lx

Living room

And this is the basic design for the bedroom, the one bellow shows the shape the room will

actually be the one above shows how we will fit everything into the room.

This is the sketch for the living room, its obviously very basic at the moment but we can

make it more detailed once we have the final designs for everything finished.

Arm Chairs

Dinner Table (with chairs)

Fire Place

In Gregor's room we are having:

Flowered wallpaper (maybe we could design some ourselves)

Carpet (ripped in sections to show old wooden floor boards)

Sofa

Bed

Dust/Hair Balls

Junk Piles

writing desk

Portrait (of the Lady)

Plain Chair (by the window)

Window

Tattered curtains

The dimensions for the living room are 10ft wide 12ft long

We also made sketches of how the room is laid out which I will put up in a minute.

Tomorrow (22/3/11) after the tutorial in the morning we are having a meeting to decide

who is designing what on auto cad, So please come in for it because it would be great

to see who is confident with what.

See you guys tomorrow.

Hey guys,

Now we have finalized our ideas for both rooms I think we should start to think about the colours and materials were are going to use in the rooms and for the furniture but I think some research bout the Czech Republic in the early 1900's will need doing first.

TITLES

can everyone make sure to put a title on your posts please, its hard to tell them apart from each other without them. thank you :)

Hey guys tried uploading my designs yesterday and today but i'm having technical problems here at home. So I'll just outline my ideas for the living room.

A fireplace and chimney breast
Warm terracotta walls but starting to age
A grimy widow
Door to Gregors room is surrounded by rot, so room darkens around the door
A couch (chaise-lounge type thing)
Two armchairs (all centred around fireplace)
Wide skirting board
Another door, maybe two

I have some photos on my other computer that I'll try uploading here later :)
