The couple of weeks I was away waiting for my writer`s block to go away (Well, excuses! haha), I was busy helping out with the Kids Church and doing artwork for our little friends.

 

It`s been pretty busy in church these days. esp. the with the kids division, since one of teachers moved out of the city while the kids are growing in number every week. So I left Multimedia to help out. Teaching children is my first love! ;)

 

 

Last year, I wrote about interior design ideas for Kids` church. We`re still not done with the work until now. Ferdie, one of the church artist, painted a mural with flowers and whales, the ocean and a big rainbow. We`re planning to change that now and give the room a revamp, also to meet the growing needs of the children. We need to put up more cabinets and make the room more alive. It`s really like a workshop now, but it could be made nicer.

 

I`m thinking of painting the room in two or three colors: white, yellow, and light gray and then put on some pretty wall decals. Not only that they`re easy to put up, but they look so cute and lovely. Kids would definitely love them.

 

They`re a little expensive, so I`m thinking of getting only a tree since I bought little animals (on sale!). But the good thing in these decals is that you can peel and reuse them.  Good idea since the church has a building project coming up and we might be moving in a year.

 

Here`s what I`m eyeing on. So cute!

What do you like the most?

I found these relaxing Kids Room created by Geometrix {via Trendir}. I love the relaxing colors… Grays and yellows go together very well, don`t they? Classy.

 

My only concern is that this actually doesn`t look like a kids bedroom…with that gray, furry, carpet, modern furniture and lights.  But I would love this for me and my sisters now that we`re young ladies. Just add a little flower pot and it would look very much girly.

 

 

And here`s the flowery stair riser I love, love, love.

These Animal Decoupage would look good not just in Kids church but also in any kid`s room.

 

A couple of weeks ago, my dad and I were  talking about how to get a new make-over for the church and we went on talking about lights, and flooring, a new stage and everything else `cause there`s really nothing yet, since we just moved into a new building and the space we`re renting happened to be an old clinic. The walls are light beige and everything is so bare and there`s really a lot of work to do.
Well, I`ve researched a bit and found out the we`ve got really cool Filipino interior designers and I`ve found an inspiration from Frederick Quesada. His Portfolio here. And I`m really loving his designs. His design for Twilo is a perfect inspiration for the kids church.
1. Big Tree—I posted on Twitter before that I`m excited about putting up a giant tree but I still didn`t know what material to use. Ate Kathy and I were thinking about making a little pixie forest with Christmas lights but I thought that was too much. And this one would just be enough. Cute yet it looks quite elegant..
2. Bible Characters Mural-- We`ve got a fine arts student in church and Viola too, who loves doing cartoons. Maybe they could team up and do the murals.
2. Story telling Corner. I thought that having a storytelling corner with a couch would be great. Looks classic and like those on children`s shows.  Perhaps we would lay down a mat and the kids could sit right there. Great for Bible storytelling time.

This one`s from Martha Stewart and by the way, there are so many cool stuff over there: crafts, house design, tips, etc.
This painted mat is also from the website and would definitely look good.
3. Colorful Cabinets. Cabinets don`t have to boring. I found this colorful ideas for shelves. But I`m wondering which colors to pick!
    

4. Colorful Stuff. Actually, I was thinking of painting the wall plain and just put in colorful things like curtains, lamps, baskets, etc. and adding a bit of accents on the wall.

I hope  I`ll be able to put all my ideas together this week so I`ll be able to draw and submit my proposal to Papa. I`m also doing another proposal for the sanctuary`s design and it`s really a huge work—with all the budgeting and creativity I need to put together.
But this is really fun and exciting. See you soon!
