Camping Room Ideas for a Toddler Boy?
Q. Our son has a camping theme room, fairly good size room. We painted it Limey Grassy Green and it has tan carpet and white ceilings with a white ceiling fan. He has 2 giant Leaves over his light wooden twin bed (leaves are from Ikea). He has camping themed bedding and bug sheets (although I'd be interested in finding another set of the bug sheets - we got the bedding set from Target on clearance a couple years ago). He has a matching lamp with scout patches on it. He has a nightstand and a dresser with a mirror on it. My dad is making him a canoe bookshelf (either red or navy blue). He just has regular blinds on his windows right now. Oh, and a big green bug light on his wall. Along the wall that the big leaves and his bed is on, we have his name letters - navy blue from Pottery Barn Kids. Any ideas for things to put on his dresser and bookshelf? Also, we could use 1 or 2 big pictures for his wall!
A. How absolutely FUN! I did one of my son's room in a similar theme many years ago! His was more western, but outdoorsy just the same. I used bright red bandannas to make a valance over his miniblinds, with the points hanging down. Looked really cute.
Some camping ideas...
Cover a round hassock/footstool in a wood grain pattern fabric, or use canvas and paint it to look like a tree stump.
Old bamboo fishing poles for a valance curtain rod, hang fabric (maybe a cute fish print? Run to the fabric store!) using thin rope or string tied as loops through grommets. Old oars would work too, or new ones brightly painted, and you could staple the fabric to the back and then mount them using L brackets over the window.
I love these! http://www.collectionsetc.com/Item50462.aspx
Glow in the dark decals in the shape of stars for his ceiling? They are available practically everywhere, check Walmart!
And where are the little darling's toys going? A little pup tent or teepee maybe? Or even a small inflatable raft or canoe to match the book shelf gramps is making!
A bug rug http://www.terrysvillage.com/tvweb/application?namespace=browse&origin=categoryDisplay.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&sku=91/3276&mode=Browsing&catDestinationJSP=/browse/categoryForward.jsp?categoryId=122686
Time can be directional! Paint a round clock face to look like a compass!
Oh, dear, I'm affraid I could go on and on the more I think about it. But one thing for sure, if it's a camping bedroom he NEEDS this, LOL! http://www.signals.com/signals/Shop-By-Theme_5AA/Nature_5AM/Item_Faux-Fireflies-Jar_HA7432_ps_cti-5AM.html
Just have fun with it! I'd love to be able to see what it turns into!
Decorating my 6 year old daughter's bedroom?
Q. I'm horrible with decorating, but I want something that is fun and beautiful for my daughter without paying a lot of money.
She has all white wicker furniture in her room that my grandma had given us a few years ago. So, I think with that it could be a really neat room.
I want something that you can change maybe pictures or accessories easily, without redoing her entire room every 2 years.
I've been looking for pictures on the internet but I haven't found too many. I want the room to be girly.
Any ideas? Thanks!
A. Why don't you make it fun for your daughter too. Take her out with a digital camera and get her to take pictures of things she likes. I think black and white pictures work best (they tend to hide flaws in photos best). Anyway, that way, she has a part in what is going on her walls. When you are done, you and she can go through the photos she took, pick the numbers you want and get them printed. You could even blow up the best one, putting it in the centre and then have littler ones surrounding it. You could also try doing some colour ones. Do you have a greenhouse in your city? Gardens you could take her to? Teach her how to use the macro setting on the camera so she can take photos up close of the flowers. You may think kids can't take good photos but you'd be surprised! My friend's kid down the street took some photos of my flowers this past summer. They turned out amazingly well! The boy who took them (5 years old) was quite proud of himself.
When you choose your frames, pick ones that are lively in their colour! Ikea has really great frames for kids rooms (and they are relatively cheap). Their sizes are a little strange so you might have to make mats to go around the photos (the usually white border that surrounds pictures in frames). The nice thing with these frames is that you can paint them later if she wants something a little quieter when she gets older.
Also, there is paint that you can get that is magnetic. You can paint that on her walls, then cover it with the original colour (you don't have to leave it black, which is the colour of the magnetic paint). There is also chalk paint that might be fun for her too.
Hope that gives you some ideas!
Cheers!
