Corners of our home Wednesday

Welcome to Bella's Room (she was 18 months when she moved into this room...she is now 4).

A welcoming mermaid hanging on the door to her room.

Bratt Decor makes a beautiful scalloped twin bed! We decided to go ahead and get her furniture in lavender. It's different and really draws your eye to the furniture. The bedding is custom Mudge & Molly. The bed skirt is a layered lavender shimmering organza over a ruffled white skirt (kinda reminds me of a mermaid's tail).

My favorite item in her whole room is this custom pillow by Jamie Haylee. It was made in the likeness of Bella at the time.

The curtain panels and the paint were taken directly from the inspiration pictures found in a BH&G magazine (see yesterday's post). All of the sewing and painting Wendy did (with help from her Mom and husband). The 3D glitter sea creatures hang in the corner where Bella's toy box is for a touch of whimsy.

There was some extra paint left over from the wall so it went on this terra cotta pot to mimic the pattern on the walls.

Another project Wendy did to bring in small touches of hot pink. These were plain white frames purchased at a discount store. She covered the mat in scrapbook paper and painted the frames to match.


Some finishing touches of stacked fabric covered hat boxes and wooden letters to spell Mermaids (remember that the letters don't always have to spell out your child's name).
