DIY by Wendy Bellissimo

 I am renovating my daughter´s room.

shes is growing..she is no longer mums little baby anymore..
(even if I think she is..)

anyway, all I had to transform in her little girl design into a big-girl room , was remove here small bed and furniture and pop a beautiful bunk bed..

Inspiration do I get from various favorite interior magazines

the picture below is from the book

*Nesting* by Wendy Bellissimo

beutiful girl bed from the NESTING by Wendy Bellissimo

Here is my daughter Sophies room, as it looks like right now..

I will reshuffling and enhance the color of green and goldbrown

She is with me in this and paint and select textile.

I think it is importend to listen to the childs own ideas, they love to decorate,

and they often have very good ideas.

The flags are from Shabby Chic stor no 1, Rachell Aswell, and they will stay in the room :)

In the beginning all this furniture were clean wood in pine when they were used in big brother Philips boy room.

She will still have her beautiful Pink kitchen in her room...

 I do agree with her, the kitchen is just adorable..who dosen´t want to play there?

The process..We will build in the bed where we put liitle curtains so Sophie can draw on,
a *roof* should also be there with lighting lika a starry sky



just say yes

some good advice from wendy bellissimo

You cant always say yes, but use the word *no* sparingly. Negativity aside,opposing your child´s will without fair and honest explanation will undemine your bond and dimish their self-confidence. However young they may be,always give your children the opportunity to understand-they will respect you for it and trust themselves to do right thing next time.

Görvälns Slott- Princess Castle

Would you like to sleep like a princess?

Görvälns Castle in Sweden is the place to be.

Every room has their own charctar and the creativity is admirable.

all furniture/interior design is made by the owner of this dreamy hotel from the 1600´s

This silverbed is the most photographed room at the hotel

darling princess room nr 31

When the owner created this room they wanted to keep the feeling of the 1600th and the rough nature walls, combinated with gilded furniture and ostrich feathers. 

I think the they did extremely well.

Florentine room nr 32

I wish I knew how the house looks, the optimal housing is the to see the think  the *big picture*,

Today we call it Vintage

from a book called "the ultimate interior book"by judy spours



Dessa dämpade neutrala färger ger en härlig harmoni och skapar ett sofistikerat lugn i storstadens brus. jag upptäckte att nästintill hela vår lägenhet går i dessa toner,som likt  färgerna på bilden samverkar i finstämt varierande tyger, som är både inbjudande och lugnande. 

These muted neutral color gives a wonderful harmony and creat a sophisticated guiet in the citylife  Almost all our color in our City apartment is in these tones,as in the picture they interact in subtle different fabrics that is both inviting and soothing.

Here you find pictures of our bedroom
