I’ve narrowed down the design for my 4-year-old’s kitchen-turned-bedroom to what I’m calling Subtle Treehouseā„¢ļø. 
I’m thinking this cool tree mural (that closeup looks very story book), dark wood tones and a dusty blue but which one??
All the colours I sampled were:

Rocky Coast 
Dusty Cornflower
Smoke
Little Falls
Blue Spruce 

All from @benjaminmooreaustralia šŸ˜ I like all of them but can’t tell which will be best on all the walls? I’m thinking the lightest one is probably the way to go since there’s not much light in this room?

Not saying a $50k quote for a kitchen reno isn’t Not saying a $50k quote for a kitchen reno isn’t justified, but I am telling you I won’t be doing that. 
So here’s the full breakdown of our kitchen cost, the pros and cons of going as DIY as possible, and what I’d tell anyone thinking about doing the same. 
Let me know if you have any questions, I love to overshare.
