Daughter’s Fairy Tale/Princess Room

Castle mural

Daughter’s room was a real labor of love. I will not deny that I was blissful about having a daughter. I have an amazing relationship with my mother, who helped in the muraling of both Daughter and Son’s rooms. I want that relationship with my own daughter. So far she’s far too much like me and likes her Daddy better. Life!

This is a peak at her room when she was a baby. It is now nothing but an excellent walk in closet for both children as Daughter sleeps in Son’s room. When they don’t wish to share anymore she’ll be moved back.

changing table

You know from Son’s room that I’m a fan of changing tables. Unfortunately this mobile was far too long and was ripped down by Daughter pretty early on.

This castle. It is so much more magnificent in person.

closet crib side

There is a knight in shining armor but I will let daughter decide if it’s a female or male. Also, I had a mane and tail on the pegasus but I hated it so painted over it and just haven’t bothered to put a new one on.

peacock done

Obviously no daughter of mine could live without a life sized peacock on their wall.

sparkle floor

Also, sparkly floors.

tree

My mother painted this tree and it looks AMAZING. I am not very good at people so I asked her to drawn the fairy and owl, which she did amazingly. Owls are a bit of an inside joke here as we get them quite often and they always kill our birds.

Coomassie Blue was NOT happy about the baby, though he’s adjusted quite well now that copious amounts of food are dropped on the floor for him.

I like to paint. I’m not much of an original artist though, more of a copier. So when we found out we were going to have a baby I settled on an ocean themed room right away. If it was a boy, sharks and pirates, a girl would get mermaids and dolphins. We obviously had a boy and I’m very happy with how his cartooney ocean room came out. All of the murals were painted with basic acrylic paint. The changing table is something I’d recommend to anyone. Having that mobile and mirror really made changing easier. An occupied baby is not a baby that is going to resist changing time. Of course, Son isn’t a baby anymore. He’s 4. His murals are unchanged but his room layout has changed a bit. Instead of a crib he has a loft bed with slide. Instead of having his dresser in his room he has his sister. It’s worked out just fine.
