My favourite Room - My daughters bedroom

So this weekend saw a change - we gave our 2 year old a duvet.  She had been refusing to wear her sleepbag for a few weeks and had been wearing it as a blanket along with another blanket.  But I finally got round to getting her a duvet, pillow and covers.  After speaking to a friend we decided to just get a single duvet rather than a toddler bed one, it is a little big in her cot but at least we won't need to replace it in a year or two, it has also made it easier to find the right size linen.

I thought I would use this as a chance to show you my favourite room in our house, the little lady's room.  We decorated a few months ago and wanted to go for a girlie over princess.



She has two walls painted green but it's hard to see in this light.

I will do a post later in the week about her lampshade as I made it for her and I do love it.  Her curtains are from John Lewis and just beautiful.  We had them first and went for the green on the walls to coordinate.


This is the duvet set we went for - we need to get spares but this will do for now.  I bought this gorgeous floral and fairy set from Wilkinsons - I think it's one of the best shops on the high street for value and often find their products are great quality.


I love the prints on the wall, all three of them were actually presents.


Her bookshelf is a bit of a mess but there is no point tidying and re tidying!!
On the wall she has a welsh love spoon and a print from her christening.  It's her footprints and then messages from those that came to her (and her brothers) joint christening.  I actually thought up the idea and impressed myself with the creativity and how well it turned out! I love reading their messages everyday.
We do need to get more pictures up but at the moment we just have her with her godparents and then a picture of two of her friends on top of her wardrobe (similar here).


I love this room, it's cosy and girlie and not a princess room!  We need to sort out under her bookshelfs with more storage as there are too many toys under there.  We also want to make it a really cosy reading corner with lots of cushions etc but one step at a time.

What's your favourite room in your house?  Do you like how you've done your children(s) rooms?

  2. This is a gorgeous room! My daughter's is painted cream and green and then the curtains, prints, rug etc. are all pink - she loves her pink! I do like it in there. I like my son's, but when he moves from cot to bed, we'll probably redecorate as we'll need to more furniture around, too. he has the M&P Gingerbread range in there, that was Boo's when she was a baby, and I do still love it :)

    1. Thank you! My daughter likes pink too but tried to put off having pink walls for a few years! My sons room is very plain at the moment, I'm looking forward to doing his too - hopefully not too "boy" like as typical boy stuff is so dark!
