When I was pregnant and didn't know the sex of my baby I decorated the 'nursery' in more of a toddler style using a lot of the fabler range from Ikea (lots of green, red and pale blue). I had wanted a unisex room that wouldnt need redecorating as soon as babyhood was over.
Fast forward 2 years, 'baby' coming up 2 and is a real girly girl. Loves dressing up, dolls, butterflies, arts and crafts etc. She's not yet discovered princesses or Disney and is not yet attatched to the colour pink. But I think I'd like to make a statement that this is a girls room.
I'm thinking of redecorating at the same time as putting her in a big bed - so maybe in 6 months time (or real soon when I panic upon discovering she can climb out of the cot .
The trouble is that if I search for toddler girl bedrooms, all I get is a 'posed for a camera shot' type of picture you know the ones where there is no wardrobe or drawers and just a few beatifuly crafted wooden toys atop a large white surface.
Anyone know where I can find some inspiration> I really like the gruffalo kit but it looks to boyish to me www.amazon.co.uk/FunToSee-Gruffalo-Room-Make-Over-Stickers/dp/B002WC5VSK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21
Also you'd need two walls with no drawers or beds or windows on and I just dont have that kind of space.
Am thinking it could be a woodland scene, or a magic faraway tree sort of a thing, but maybe with some pink overtones.
Any ideas at all welcome!
