Kayley's Wing.

Here's my jumbled mess of what I want kayley's "wing" of the house to look like...
We can start with her bedroom. I am envisioning this... with a twist:
Subtract the yellow. Yellow is my favorite color but I still want to add a slight touch of girly side to her room. She's my little diva so I think Hot Pink should replace the yellow. Same design just minus the yellow, add the rich pink. Also, I love the ideas for the shelves being placed in the white line above her reach so I can add keepsakes and breakables up there for decorations.
Then.. my favorite find so far. Her quilt/bedding, my total inspiration:

I found this on Etsy.com and I just cannot even imagine how soft this thing is. We are going to order it for an early birthday present along with some  pink polka dotted gray sheets. :) She will be moving to a big girl bed at this point too and prayers will be needed.
large white letters hanging by white ribbon for her name over her dresser and dark rich furniture. oh gosh, I am getting excited.
Can you see my vision?

Onto the play room. I am the type of person that I would like for these rooms to flow together but to not look the same. They are separated by a bathroom and literally make up the east wing of our house so I think making them "similar" is the way to go. I would like to reuse the gray in her playroom but only as an accent. As for the way its going to be painted exactly, I need suggestions.. or I need to search high and low on Pinterest until I find something interesting that fits her bubbly personality. She spends most of her time in here so I need to find the perfect way...
But the colors I would like to use are LAVENDER with gray and yellow accents!
Here's the best ideas I have yet..
A READING NOOK. My friend Sara lives in Cincinnati and plans to get these racks for us from Ikea.


Also, Kelby and I love to play board games so we already have plenty to add to square picture frames and then as she gets older, we can add her favorites to make decorations instead of putting them in storage. (the pieces are all in the back behind the board) cutest idea ever.


She also already has this..

so this will be added along with all the crazy toys she has to make a hopefully exciting, fun play room that she will want to stay in (and not drag her toys out into my living room ;)

I am going to look at paint colors and pick some out on Friday so hopefully by then, I will know how I would like K's playroom to look. I cannot wait to be finished and to share pictures!

  1. I love that pink and gray idea. Its mature enough that she'll like even when she gets older :)

  2. Kourt, I was thinking the same thing. I dont want to have to paint again in a few years so I hope she still likes it when shes 16! :)

  3. Throw glitter on the walls:). We used to have this wall paper in one strip that ran around my bedroom at my reach when I was in the 3-4 range and it was a dollhouse that you could move these dolls around in. I loved it, but I've never seen it a there since then.
