Bedroom III

Hello

Happy July First

I am back... my computer problems have been fixed and they even managed to retrieve my pictures and documents. Just a reminder to all of you... back up and a good lesson for me.

This is my last post on bedrooms for now. I will be redoing my bedroom this fall and I will be posting on it then.

Today I am showing some nurseries I did for my grand children.

I had so much fun doing these. The first two were for Savannah and Sophie, they still have their rooms like this only they have a big bed now and a computer nook.

Savannah had a Garden theme

I painted the walls a light pink and made the chandelier out of a tulip shade I turned it upside down and I painted it pink with a little green at the top and made leaves and covered the chain with green cloth. I then hung beads and crystals from the bottom. I painted the leaves on the wall to make it look like it was growing.

The window treatments are made out of fabric from Moda (love their fabrics). I made the valance to look like an awning by putting a rod through the top and bottom and hanging iron brackets on the lower sides. The chandelier was an old floral tole that I repainted with the colors of the room.

The duvet cover is made from the same fabric as the awnings, Ogallala Down makes a crib duvet that is allergen free.

My daughter Kerri made the letters out of Paper Mache', she used to sell them in the shop. And I painted the rose garland around the crib.

I got the picket fencing in the garden center at Home Depot.

Sophie and Savannah are only 3 months apart so I spent a lot of time in Minnesota that year. My daughter Nicole wanted a Beatrix Potter theme in the nursery, so this is what I came up with.

Sophie got the same window treatments as Savannah, these rooms were laid out almost identical. Her color pallet was different but I used Moda again.

I found that old rabbit painting at a flea market... perfect huh?

This bedroom was for my niece's baby boy Baily.

I used chenille for the curtains, really liked how they turned out.

This next mural I did for Jesse when he was born

I painted it on a wall canvas so it could be moved because they were renting.

I hope this gives you some inspiration if you are in need of some ideas. I have always loved decorating for children, I have done just about every theme you can think of from Holly Hobby to Farm animals. With 6 children and 8 grandchildren I have had my fun!
I will be linking up with Debra for her Friday Inspiration party.

I have been working on several projects, at once I might add, for the Horton's French Flea Market in Tipton IN. I am down to the wire on this, as usual. Is anyone ever ready for a show? I would really like to know, I am always working right up to the ninth hour and then leave half my projects undone. Right now I am working on my back drop, I am doing a garden theme. Donna has knocked it up a notch this year with a contest going on for the vendors. Best display wins a $100.00 gift cert. :) Not going for the prize here but want to put in a good showing. My daughter Jody should be coming in today, she has been on the road for 3 days now, with her load for the show. Sound familiar! 
Gotta get to work!
I will be doing another post on Tipton before I leave on Wednesday.
Blessings today!
