Girls Room

Now that we renting there's not a lot we can do about the walls and window coverings...but the girls really wanted an animal safari room, in turqoise. Initially I thought, impossible! However, thanks to Michael Miller and his Zoology fabric line...we found turquoise (mixed in with black, grey, puke green, and yellow). So now I present to you, the turquoise animal safari themed bedroom:

Recognize the dresser? It's IKEA...I've developed a great appreciation for IKEA since moving to Australia. I found a lady on Etsy that cut me some vinyl stickers of animal prints and then I framed them (in IKEA frames). And I love this puke green bird cage I found at a random housewares store- doesn't mix w/the safari theme but b/c it was the perfect puke green color I had to have it!

Overall bedding shot. Every girl dreams of having a zebra print and puke green colored throw...ha ha. Actually, my girls really do love their new bedding. The girls love their bunkbeds! The worst thing about bunkbeds is changing the sheets on the top bunk.

I made these pillows...I especially love the monogrammed one's...too cute.


So that's pretty much it. I have a vinyl sticker giraffe growth chart that will go on one of the walls but I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail...now, if only I could do something about those nasty blue-lacey drapes...

  2. Ilove all of it! So great and so jealous you are right there by an IKEA, lol, they are the best! We always just pull the mattress off the top bunk, make it and put it back, lol, it saves a little bit of the headache! We have two sets of bunk beds! You do an awesome job!
