Kaylee's First Real Bedroom Reveal!

Yes, this has been the month of room reveals since we moved into the new apartment...

After Kaylee had seen her big sister's surprise room reveal,
She stated that she wanted to be surprised too and close her eyes as well.

So, I snuck around behind the nosey little girl's back and created a girlie room for her as well!

Presenting Kaylee's new and improved dream first real bedroom!!!

She was psyched and pleasantly surprised to see all her toys where she could get to them, since before the reveal they were still all packed away in boxes in the living room...

In her room she has a designated play kitchen area, as well as a dress up area with a full length mirror on the wall. I used hooks that would normally be used for robes or towels for a bathroom as places to hold necklaces or boas. And all of the hooks are at her height level for easy access.

The tree on wall was sketched using chalk just as I did with Elizabeth's room, but I also added faux flowers in pink and white, which I hot glued on the branches.

I got the design for the tree from Colorful Kid's Rooms

I plan to add more to the tree that I painted on her wall, like they show owls in the one I sketched the picture from... Maybe not owls, but something at least.

Elizabeth's Dream Room Reveal!

By some magical means, my laptop surprised me this morning and booted up again!
So, I am here to present Miss Elizabeth's Dream Room as a finished product!

Like I said originally, purple is her 'favorite' color.
It's not done completely though, I want to paint her dresser black and stencil some zebra print on the drawers.
I also want to paint her bookshelf black so that all the wood in her room matches.

I am happy to say that she loves her room! =]

Elizabeth's Dream Room

I have been working on a project for the move into the new apartment.
Elizabeth has little knowledge as to when or if we are moving...
So, I wanted to surprise her with a "dream room!"

Remember, Elizabeth is a 10 year old with a bold sense of style.
She loves bright colors! Her favorite colors are...
Purple, Lime Green, Teal and Hot Pink, in that order.

If it comes in purple, she loves it.
"When I get older, I am going to paint my house purple."
"I want a purple beetle!"
"It would be better in purple!"
She makes Mr. EM so crazy with the color purple, he now loathes the color.

Anyways, I decided to create a sort of mural on her new bedroom wall!
I had to find a design on Google search that matched her newly painted wall.
She likes the darker purple that is more on the blue side, instead of the red side.
Unfortunately, the darker purple on all the walls would make the room into a cave.
So, I painted only one of the walls the darker purple and the rest a lighter shade.

I chose to use the darker wall to paint the 'mural' on.
This is the design that I found...

Since I don't have a projector, I had to free hand this onto the wall.
I used Kaylee's chalk to sketch the design onto the wall...
Using chalk makes it easier to correct mistakes and redo them.
Also, by using chalk, after you finish painting the design, the lines 'template'
You used easily wipes away, unlike pencil.

The best thing about this design, is that the colors were exactly what I used!

So, this is the finished painting!

 

I admit it isn't perfect or exact, but I think she will like it just fine!

We are currently waiting on rugs, but it has to be right as we move...

Since the current resident, my mother, has dogs and Kaylee is allergic!

I will post more pictures as the room comes together more...
