Sugarwings has been busy making pour paintings with me, and wanted to decorate her room with them. She was turning TWELVE and I figured she was old enough to make her own choices for her bedroom. She loves magical creatures, so decided that would be the theme. I found some inexpensive decor at TJMax, Target, Hobby Lobby, and Homegoods, not wanting to spend too much, knowing that the phase might not last too long. She will soon be a teen.
Oh my god, did I just say that???
She will soon be a teen??
Yep. The time is coming. So, I thought I'd indulge her in this magical theme while she still wants it. But knowing her, she will always be a mermaid/unicorn fan. It is in her genetics.
She comes from a long line of true believers on both sides of the family.
Her twin bed is rainbows and unicorns, the double bed in the space has mermaids, the comforters don't exactly match, but the colors are similar and the beds look fine together.
Oops, looks like I didn't get a photo of both together…
We painted a table for the space, and it has shelves for her special things, as well as magazine racks on each side for reading materials.
The table is a pour paint style too.
She has been busy hanging her artwork, all by herself. It probably isn't how I'd have hung it, but I left it up to her, she did the paintings, and she chose where to put them.
She has some pretty ones, doesn't she?
This one is my favorite.
The room is colorful and fun, and suits her ideally.
And she has a few more pictures to hang yet, so I see even more joyful color ahead.
