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..

Do you like my girls butterfly - ballerina room??

Project 1 – the happy room … cont…

I am so very proud of these girls… I won't take any credit for this wall at all… It was completely Ramya (my creative genius’) idea…



These three made the stencils on their own… and then decided on the colours.. and went ahead and painted this… Its simply gorgeous!!

There are a total of 6 ballerinas… here is one of them for you..

So much attention to detail… that the ballet tutus and shoes were painted a darker colour..

They were finished with glitter… and this one being the star performer had extra glitter to look glamorous.. Hope you’ve seen my plans for this room, the happy cabinet and the butterfly wall… I’ll soon show you how it looks altogether!!

I simply love pink.

There was a lot of mess, a lot of paint, a lot of colour.. above all… loads & loads of love!! The girls room is my favourite room in the house.. Thats where I spend most of my time (after work).... from homework, to dancing, to arts & crafts... to falling off to sleep with them... Memories are made of these... ballerinas, butterflies... fairies and princesses... smiles & hugs!!
