Don't you love how, just when we are feeling all smug about the fact that the gloomy days of winter are behind us, mother nature throws us a curveball and gives us a day like today!
A perfect day to be tucked up inside with the fire roaring, making decisions about the colours that we are going to use in our Infant and Toddler Room.
It's a bit of a daunting task - using palm sized samples to decide on colours that will adorn our walls, floors and ceilings for years to come! Talk about pressure!
We are creating a 'home away from home' environment for the tamariki entrusted in our care. That means lovely soft carpet that doesn't hurt when crawled on. And colours that don't over stimulate the senses of the smallest members of our Coastlands Family.
As well as paint on the walls, we are also having Autex (another colour to select!). Autex is a sound absorber which will soften the noises in the room that our tamariki and staff are exposed to.
I think I am nearly done with the colours for the majority of the centre. Now I just need to take a trip into Resene and choose the wallpaper that will be used to create our sleep sanctuaries.
