Toddler Room

We are going to give Kaylee's room a makeover. Something a little more functional. Something a little more "her." Right now, she has her crib, my armoire, two nightstands, an endtable and a chaise lounge crammed in there. It's the safari theme, which in my opinion is pretty neutral. I wanted to see how her personality would play out. She's very playful and sweet and just overall a happy kid. So, here's my plan:

Wall Art, but I may not write out the meanings.

Wall Decals

Here's where I plan to "borrow" an idea Adrianne had. I thought it was so cute! Not sure if I'll do a birdhouse or a birdcage... I think it's going to be a last detail and depend on what I find.

Bed (eventually...) This is at Furniture in the Raw... 

Love this place! Here's hoping the price isn't too bad. 

I'm not sure on the stain yet... probably a lighter one to keep her room bright.

 

 As for bedding, I'm thinking of keeping things simple... just a plain white bedspread... the walls will be busy enough that the bed can stay simple.

Here is where I'm scared I'll fail. Her room gets HOT. So, I need some good window coverings to block out the heat and light for naps. I also need a lamp. And a small table with chairs (for crafts, etc.). And I want them to be solid wood. I really don't want to buy new furniture for her until she's in high school, or maybe when she moves out... It's not cruel to have a teen in a twin bed, right?

I want to build her closet out with shelves so it'll work as a dresser and storage. Her walls are beige and we don't intend to change that since we're hoping to move within the next 3 years.

I am thinking of buying an artificial branch and wrap a strand of Christmas lights around it as a nightlight... thoughts?

Another thought was to take some cherry blossom flowers and attach them to the wall with the tree and branch... this is where I'm wondering if it'll be too much.
