Bedroom Make-Over

Belle has been wanting to have her bedroom re-done for a long time now. She has been wanting lots of pillows for her bed, too. Different colors and sizes and textures. So, I decided I would re-do her room as my gift to her for Christmas this year. Conveniently, she was at her dad's the entire week before Christmas,so I had to get the things done beforehand that I could, like making pillows and getting supplies, and then do the actual work when she was gone. She came home Christmas morning and found this on her door:

I asked Russ to make her a new bed. He made it exactly as I had dreamed it to be! A 'loft' bed on 4 log rounds. It's perfect!

I did a ribbon curtain with a bit of flare at the top, because I wasn't happy with just the ribbon. This makes it a little more "Belle" anyways.
Then, all the pillows. (Rooster pillow from Aunt Charlotte.)
Then I made 40 or so of these sweet little puff birds...
I sprinkled them with glitter to make them a little more "Belle" too.

These little birds are scattered throughout her room in random places... just keeping an eye on things.

She was very happy with her room. The only thing she says it is missing is a big pink flower on the wall. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly she needs.

  3. I love the curtain and the birds! I need to re-do McKinlee's room before the baby comes because she and Cannon will be sharing. Thanks for the inspiration!
