Beddie Byes #2

Miss T’s bedroom is taking shape at a similar pace to Miss I’s. Largely due to sibling rivalry:
“Why did she get her light fitting first?”
“My room next!”
“No, I want my bedroom door on next!”
Actually girls, we would all like our bedroom doors on.
Especially mum and dad!

We are working on a red-and-blue colour scheme for Miss T’s room, with some softer hits of pink.

Again we have the problem with short curtain length, so I am looking at the same solution as Miss I’s. Not sure what colour though? Red? Blue? Thoughts?
The rug is temporary. Wrong colours and too small, but I wanted Miss T to have something (like her sister. See sibling rivalry above Winking smile).

I love the contrast of the dark blue velvety cushion from Ikea. Very happy I grabbed that. The red cordroy and fawn ticking pillows are from Target.

Again, the to-to list is long;
1. Paint tall boy. White? Or contrasting red? Maybe new handles.
2. Clean and paint dressing table picked-up from op-shop.
3. Hang mobiles.
4. Find rug.
5. Fix curtain length.
6. Paint bedroom door.
7. Hang art etc. on walls.
Next time – the journey of our Master miniscule bedroom. (I think from now on I will call it the Master bedroom, and you can laugh along with me Winking smile ).

It looks like things are ocming together nicely!
I can imagine the sibling rivalry... :-) Cute!

Oh, my children are JUST like that! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Especially, quite sweetly, I suppose, about any crafty projects I make. The others are guaranteed to want one JUST THE SAME for themselves!!

I think the tall boy would look rather striking painted red....to match the Ikea cushion.

It was lovely to see you over at Modern Country Style. Don't be a stranger....!

I love to watch bedrooms coming together! Looking forward to more updates! Have a good day, Kellie xx

MSR - one door to go! Am certainly looking forward tot that ;)

Sarah - I am leaning towards painting the tallboy red too. I think it will make a nice contrast. I need to get her wardrobe in first though or there will be no storage at all.

Kellie - yes, slowly coming together :) Progress will slow a bit over Christmas, but I have a lot of smaller projects to help bring their rooms together (and ours finally!).

Thanks for your comments and support :)
