A Room of Her Own in the Land of Pintrest

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.

Paper, Ribbon and Bling...

The finished house...and all without a contractors license!
Kaisercraft patterned paper is double sided...this black harlequin pattern that I used on the roof of the house is the reverse of the paper with the large birdcages.
Ribbon and lace...in brown, black, and turquoise, are tied to the book rings.
The bling are black Bazzill Basic adhesive jewels...and a few rub-ons from the Scrapbook Barn embellishment drawer.
Black braid was used to frame the windows, while blue patterned paper inside the windows has both birdcages and chandeliers.

Want to see the inside of the house?

Come on in...

Sparkling Chandelier

There is a drawer full of cool embellishments for the staff designers to use at Scrapbook Barn...and this is where I went looking for some "cool stuff" to add to the Secret Garden book.
This black clock face worked well on this page... it's the pull tab at the top of the journaling card.
Notice the sparkle on the chandelier...pretty cool hu!
