Ready to see the progression of Willow's room? All the photos combined into one glorious post? I dithered a bit, because I wasn't sure if I should include the photos from the room Willow has been sleeping in for the past two months. In the end I decided to, but how that room was used- the furniture etc- influenced how the final room was shaped.
And now, two months and two weeks later....
 |
| Rainbow curtains! It's hard to tell, but there is a light filtering blind across the window, for privacy and to filter some of that harsh sun out. In front of the window we did double rods- one rod has some plain white blockout curtains, to block out all the light, and the front are Willow's beloved rainbow curtains. I added two rows of purple thick rick rack to the bottom for interest. They're just a fun little detail. Willow specifically asked for curtains to block out all the light "so I can sleep longer." This girl loves her sleep. |
 |
| Willow's "new" bed. It's a trundle bed. I've been tossing up on dying that white valence rainbow, since Willow wants a "rainbow" bed, but I'm not sure if a dyed doona cover, flat sheet or valence would look better. The side bumpers and the "head" board are actually the mattress from her old bed. Yeah, I'll get around to covering them all... eventually. |
 |
| Willow height hooks. We're yet to re-install door stoppers behind the doors, so I've covered the door knobs with cloths, so they don't damage the walls if you open them with too much force. |
 |
| Willow's play kitchen and brand new wardrobe. The kitchen doesn't quite fit- you can't open the door fully- but oh well. It was a hand me down, so I can't complain. Planning on a large plastic tub to sit on top of the wardrobe, but not sure if it should hold out of season clothing or Willow's bedlinen. There's only room for one.... |
 |
| Inside the wardrobe. When Willow gets older/ taller we will take that lower rod out, and replace it with drawers. Right now it holds her shirts. The cubby has skirts in the tub down the bottom, and pants above. Except the pant tub has been borrowed somewhere else for now... Above it are Willow's underwear, singlets and socks. She actually asked to move her socks into her new wardrobe- they used to live next to her shoes- which I thought was interesting. Right now her pjs are folded up beneath the lower rail of shirts. They'll move into the cube bookcase at the foot her her bed later, when I get organised. Top rail is mostly for dresses and guest's clothes, when they come to stay. |
 |
| Willow's bed is actually a trundle bed- there is a another single bed that fits quite nicely under here. We took it out for a sleepover, and M decided to hide underneath and wait for Willow. We've left the trundle out for now because Willow loves her secret spot under the bed. |
So, that's Willow's room. Her room is closest to completion- now we just need to do some finishing touches. Things like pictures and photos and her flamingo wall stickers. I'm thinking a floating shelf beside her bed in lieu of a bedside table- since having a surface beside a bed won't ever go astray, and being floating means you won't have to move it to get the trundle out. Or maybe a floating shelf above her bed? I also saw at Kmart these little decorative shelves shaped like a house- they're tiny, so you wouldn't put a lot on them, but I thought they'd be perfect for Willow's plastic toys/ rocks/ collections.
M and I have been spending a lot of time in Willow's room- mostly just chilling or lying on her bed, since her room is the nicest in the house right now.
