My DD (11) has a loft room and wants to turn it into a space/star gazing/science themed room. She has (practically new) white furniture which we'll be keeping for a while. I'm a little worried that in fairly short order she'll decide she wants another theme entirely (probably something to do with branded sports goods), but I've agreed that she can have a revamp for her birthday.
My DP has recently learnt about glittery paint and both he and DD are unrealistically excited about the idea of painting large parts of her room a dark, dark blue with glitter all in it (for stars). Does anyone have any experience of that?
Also - lots of space themed bedroom decoration stuff is a bit young for her. I have seen a moon wall mural that I like, and she has a constellation map and a periodic table (honestly!) that I'm going to frame and put up.
I've also promised her a Van de Graaff generator and a fibre optic lamp. If her interest continues I will probably also buy her a telescope to do 'proper' star gazing.
Also, any clever ideas for storage for LOADS of tiny little things (shells, china animals, keepsakes) would be appreciated, because she's a hideous magpie.
Does anyone have any other inspiration for me?
