can i move into my daughter's room??? i have LOVED putting together her big girl room in advance of her baby sister's arrival.
a photographer friend of mine got me stuck on this turquoise scheme with red accents. i've loved this recent trend in jewelry - turquoise and coral - and find myself pairing bits of red with my grandmother's antique turquoise. my beloved grandmother passed away this spring so she's in my thoughts quite a lot. i found a strand of antique native american bird beads in her things and the bird theme has really stuck with me. so when i found the fabric at the top of the window panels - turquoise with red birds and little white dandelions - it all came together. i also found these wonderfully cheerful antique japanese woodblock prints in my grandmother's collection that complimented the colors perfectly. the natural light in this room is amazing so the barely contrasting white birdcages on the walls are so subtle. it's still evolving - as my personal projects always are - but i love the direction it's taking!
we've set the room up for the two girls to share, with 2 closets and lots of storage. it's got a sweet little reading corner with TONS of books and ledges for their artwork and favorite reads.
i especially love how ariana's sweet personality is already coming through in this room...
