Smelly washing machine? Unsightly loo? Kim (she of the wonderful hair and half of Kim and Aggie) took her Marigolds to Mumsnetters' mucky ways in a live webchat. Read her tips and advice and remember, ventilation, ventilation, ventilation... KimWoodburnwebchat

Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Right, that's it. DD is having a new bedroom. Inspire me please!

(44 Posts)
At 38 weeks pg I lovingly assembled heavy cots etc and decorated and bordered a nursery. We even plastered walls ffs! My little bugger darling has never spent a night in there, preferring our king size bed hmm

We need to evict dd if there is to be any chance of dc2 and, having considered all my options, I have decided to bypass my lovely nursery and keep it spick and span for any additions. Instead I'm going to clear out the rag and bone yard spare room and make it a proper bedroom for her (nursery is teeny tiny and she would have to move at some point anyway).

I am not doing this for fun as clearing out decorating leaves me cold so I need ideas for colour schemes and decor that will last her a few years (she's only 16 months). I don't mind pink as such but not too vomit inducing if poss.

So, how are your little girls' bedrooms decorated?

Oysterpots, that looks amazing

I just re-did DS's room - off-white walls, Trofast storage from IKEA, vintage wallpaper elephant and giraffe wall mural things.

Pics here if anyone's interested

I like quite plain designs, so went for just gingham bedding with matching curtains for my boys - but also available in all the girly colours......pink, lilac, yellow etc. Should last a few years with luck.
dd1 has pale pink walls with a rainbow/tree theme bedding/curtains/rugs from next also got a huge wall sticker and clouds that is on the wall next to her bed, she has a pink bed hmm and cream blackout blind

dd2 room is lilac and has butterfly stickers around the middle, butterfly curtains and bedding (again from next) she has pink blackout blind and magenta pink carpet and I have pinned some butterflies on thin wire from her ceiling. She has a box small room so have taken her wardrobe doors and attached lilac netting (with pink butterflies) over the front so I can fit her furniture in better

I'm afraid I have boys rather than girls but helped my sister with her daughter's bedroom.... plain off white walls, pink gingham bedding, matching pink gingham curtains, sweet little pictures from suzie watson, a few butterflies on the wall, looks a treat! Very, very sweet.

I'm about to re-do my daughter's bedroom. I'm going for white furniture and probably, sky blue walls. Will jazz up the walls with stickers. What I am now looking for is storage and bookcases.

I only have the spot stickers on one wall btw - think your eyes would go funny if they were all over!!

I have gone for white too, with multicoloured spots - blind from John Lewis, Lazzari storage from GLTC and Sweet 16 wall stickers from here = they also have lots of other great designs. White Company has lovely bed linen.

Hi GooseyLoosey. Did you get that bookcase yet? I had a set delivered last week, and if you want to see them look at this page. I've had great ideas and tips from here before, and watch just about anything to do with makeover programmes on tv and just wanted to share my joy with everyone else!
I've now ordered the other 2 bookcases and will soon be posting those photos up on their site!

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
