Show Us Where You Live Friday - Children's Rooms

This week Kelly wants to see our children's rooms or nurseries. My daughter, Kate, is 11-years old. Right now her room is yellow but we are going to change the color very soon. I think we have finally agreed on a pale icy blue. For that reason, I don't have as much art on the walls as I would normally have. The furniture was mine when I was growing up and my mother's before me. Here goes....

This is the pictures of Kate's bed with her new matress and my great-grandmother's handsewn quilt on it. I think the little piece of paper is the label off the mattress!!!! She is a hoot.

Here is another view of her bed that I took tonight while see was sleeping!!! We found these sconces and they are perfect.

For those who are new to my blog, Kate's dad passed away suddenly when she was eight. It was a rough couple of years but she is doing much better. There were so many things she wanted to hold onto; little pieces of him. I had my friend, Joe, make these shelves and we have put her favorites up there - his cowboy hat, boots, glasses, tool belt, etc. Here is a close-up.

Here is a view from the door of Kate's room.

One thing I started when Kate was young was framing one piece of her art every year. They have turned out wonderful. Here is one I framed in a vintage frame I found at a flea market.

Here is another I had professionally framed. It costs a little but is SO worth it.

Her closet doors are mirrored. I covered one with chalk contact paper. It is the bomb!

I hope you have enjoyed your visit! Thanks for coming by.
