My girls room

Girls are special... aren't they?
A daughter is a little girl who grows up to be a friend. ~Author Unknown
This room was completed last August... but I never got around to showing you pictures of the complete room... and completely forgot about it... An email yesterday, said... they'd like to see the full room... so here it is... for YOU!! Hope you like it *smiles*
The ballerina's were stencilled on the wall and then carefully hand painted with acrlyic paints & glitter... Thank you Ramie, Reshma & Rachel ... for instantly acting on my plans... *smiles*
There are a total of five ballerinas on one wall... with the pretty pink one in the center.... and gold dotted lines connecting... them...
The day bed below was changed to white.. We picked this one up from the 'As Is' section in IKEA... for next to nothing... But the black colour didn't look too good... so we changed this to white.. Thank you Ashwin... for joining my committee of elves..
The other three walls of the room... has butterflies in different colours... They enter from outside the room.. and seem to be flying all over ...
.... connected with turquoise dotted lines... These butterflies were also stencilled on the wall by Ramya, Reshma, Rachel & Rose...
Here is a closer look...
This cabinet below... was old... I think we had it for 10 years or so.... beige in colour.. and morbid... *grin*
Ramya, Rose, Ashwin, Simone & Yvonne (my girlies) painted a this beautiful butterfly garden on it... Now it looks like a 'happy cabinet'..
The frame is a gift ... and is made by Ramya... The hand prints are of my girls in rainbow colours ... a few years ago... The hands have obviously grown now.. *sob*
The bookshelf was designed.. by me.. *smiles*... to go into the slot in their bedroom...
Linking into a few blog parties..

  13. OH MY GOSH!! It is soooooo cute. The ballerinas dancing, the butterflies flitting. Too cute and adorable and it is not a baby room, either. Very very good Patty. You are so inspiring that I went and got stickers. I will send you a picture when I am done putting it on the wall :).
