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??

Work in progess - butterfly room

I’ve been dreaming of this project since we moved to our new house.. Procrastinating for the longest time… … We discussed this a few times, and its lovely to see that the people I call family are as mad as I am… *smiles* So here is introducing you to my madness…

I wanted butterflies to fly in from the end of the staircase into my girlies’ room.. I was going to do the butterflies free hand… (as you can see - my night photography is aweful)

Ramya – the creative head… came up with the stencil idea. (Consistent butterflies look prettier). We searched high & low for butterfly stencils but couldn’t find any. She finally made a few butterfly stencils… Making of the stencils will in another post.

Reshma at work, giving these the final touches. These are meant to be pink… Ramya & Reshma insisted that there should be a fusion of colours in one butterfly.. ie.. the first one goes from being pink to orange…

Rose making a pretty pink butterfly…

Ramie removing the stencils..

Reshma still at work…

For now I’m linking this to Funky Junk Interiors & Pink Saturdays. Hope you are joining the party as well… *smiles*

My earlier plans… have changed slightly. There is still lots of work to do. The butterflies look gorgeous and I’ll share my favourite project with you once its all complete. Hope you all are having a gorgeous weekend...
