girly room ideas

The girls have been through so much this past month and they miss their friends dearly. So, we're going to be putting a lot of energy into getting them settled in first when we move into our house. Lara and Mia have commented lately on how pretty they think chandeliers are so we're going to find one to put in their room to make it extra girly and sparkly. We're going full-on-glamour for their room and I can't wait!

I want it to be mostly white with a fabulous rug and a few punches of color.

This is a bit too white, but I love this as a starting off point. I am going to help the girls design their own pillows and I want a fabulous Persian rug on the floor of their room. I want something really calm and luxurious for them. 

This is more in line with what I want to do...

The walls will be a pale shade of blush and I'll be hunting for the perfect rug. I want something really worn and faded with that "lived in" look.

They'll all share a room since Norah's almost 4 now. That frees up one bedroom to use as their playroom. We're also planning on building them a reading cave at the bottom of the stairs. We have a huge stairwell that runs the height of the house. In the basement, where it ends, there's an empty spot underneath that would be perfect for a pint-sized reading nook. Colin suggested it because our kids like to hide and Mia, especially, likes to pretend she's a cat and squeezes into the smallest places to get comfortable. My twist on Colin's idea is that we give it a Moroccan theme with a Persian rug, quilted pillows and punched brass lighting. Since it's such a small place it won't be that hard to accomplish, right?

I think they'll love it and it will be one more place that will be truly "theirs".

So many ideas running around in my head right now...
