Hi, my first read of your blog, I love what you did with the back wall of the cupboard, we’ve just bought a new house with dorma windows and lovely pitched ceilings. I’m searching for ideas to put to use in decorating for our 3yr old boy/girl room and have now after seeing what you’ve done decided to do the same but at each end of their bed heads where the wall has the pitch, floral for Lucy and suitable boyish patern for Oska (yet to be discovered) thanks for the inspiration Cheers Hale

Oh, wow. I love this and the fabric choice! It could even be an easy DIY backdrop for a photo shoot or event.

I just love your ideas that brighten Clara’s room. I made my daughter a similar doll house as Clara’s for her 1st birthday. Then for her 2nd, I made her a lounge chair with a PVC pipe frame, and sewed the removable cover. I’m just waiting for my big inspiration for her 3rd birthday in December. I love this idea and can’t wait to pull it off, especially since I’m in a rental, and this is the perfect alternative to painting and wall papering which both need pre-approval. Thanks for the motivational inspiration that keep us DIY’ers going!

You should totally add one of these pictures to your home tour page, in the section of Clara’s room !
I love it !!
We are planning on doing fabric on the kids door, and ikea fabrik that the kids can colour themselves :) should be fun too!

Aw thanks Ffion! That shelf and hanger rail were in the closet to start with, so I think they were original (added by the builder?). The shelf looks just like a few boards resting on a 2 x 4″ frame, and the rail is just a wood dowel that hooks into little circle-rests (holders) on each end.

1. UHHHH-mazing. We rent right now & our decorating budget is low to non-existent (read: dave-ramsey-crazy-pay-down-student-loans). Can’t wait to try this somewhere with some leftover fabric… Maybe on the smallest wall in my daughters’ room?! Or the back wall of the half finished basement. Or both!

2. The comments in here (which I rarely read, but did for some reason today) crack me up! I love when you say “we’re on the case.” Very secret-spy-ish. :)

3. My 2 are 8 weeks and 19 months. I’m feelin’ ya on the whole just keepin’ them fed and clean thing (with clean being half optional)… We moved into this rental basically while I was having contractions, aka: technically while 38 weeks pregnant, and then we came home here from the hospital and most things were in boxes.) I hung a frame in our bedroom and curtains somewhere else last week and felt like I had conquered the world. Ha! Keep at it. Kiddos’ needs come first. There’s always time to decorate later, like when your newborn can go 3 or 4 hours between eating! haha :) Good luck!
