Aqua Thoughts

Ashley had a family of five in a three bedroom house, which meant her oldest daughter was sick of sharing a room with her little sister.  I feel her pain!  I am the oldest sibling too, and never got to enjoy my own room until I left for college.  (Not that sharing a room with you was totally unenjoyable, Tori.  It’s just that I was a compulsive neat-freak and you were … not.  And you always got bloody noses in the middle of the night without realizing it, which was a terrifying sight to wake up to, like every day. I think I’m still having nightmares).

ANYWAY.  Ashley understood the feeling too, so she moved heaven and earth to find a space for her darling daughter to dwell.  And by heaven and earth, I mean the piles of stuff in her utility room. That’s right, this really is the SAME ROOM! A little elbow grease, some new flooring, and a fresh coat of paint later, her daughter has a perfectly little cozy place to call her own.

And here’s another girly bedroom redo, this one from Cait at My Home. My Canvas. Her five-year-old daughter had outgrown the pastel pinks and needed something more vibrant to match her fun-loving personality. In came a bold aqua, colorful bedding and accessories and a chandelier I’d hang in my own bedroom any day.  Check out her blog for all the details, right down to the custom light switch cover!
