Last year my darling daughter and her
family bought their “dream home”. She had me come over and help
her “move furniture and hang pictures”. We started with the down
stairs, living room, kitchen, family room...moved up stairs to the
kids rooms. Turquoise and Lime Green for my granddaughter and
Diamondback Base Ball of my grandson. The last room on the list was
going to be a room for my DD. You know the kind, for reading,
crafts...a real get away just for her.
We start working on her room this
summer. She picked out great colors...Turquoise and Persimmon with
some taupe.
Her husband found her a awesome chair to
curl up in to read. We just got lucky that the cat matched the room.
She had picked up the old window yeas ago and add the fun rag banner. Of course every ladies room need a chandelier.
The window valences are made from vintage embroidered dresser scarves
that I had gotten from Tucson Sister.
The day bed adds an extra place to sit, take a nap or for overnight guest. We covered pillows in the “theme” color fabric.
DD painted the dresser and picture
frames turquoise. One frame is a mirror, the other two she removed the
pictures.
One empty frame has a painted initial...
and the other has a framed vintage
handkerchief ,
Persimmon color butterfly that she had
found at an auction years ago.
This is the point where we should have
been bringing in shelves to store all kind of crafty treasures and
large craft table to create all those cool Pintrest projects...

In all this planning we never figure
that someone else had a different idea for this room...a surprise
baby girl who should be here any day...
so instead of a big table we added a
crib with a turquoise and persimmon bumper.
