Our room here in Trinidad was... well imagine pretty old (yellowed), stained white walls, and sleeping on poor worn out pillowcases. It was time for a change:
We painted the walls aqua-blue, and of course kept our tradition of hanging Christmas lights in our room, or "romantical lights" as they are fondly called. :)
I made new curtains. You can't see them too well, sorry, but they are kinda like Roman Curtains. I put rings on the back and a tie through them, and we just pull 'em up and tie them to the bars on the windows. As you can see, through the one that's down, the sun shines through the stripes on the back, and that with the lights gives it a really colorful happy affect.
The inside is just black with white floral stuff. It helps with the lights at night, we all love sleeping in dark dark. :)
Anna and I sleep in the top of our two bunk beds. (On air mattresses-Prettty nice! :D) She wanted a new pillowcase, and of course, being myself, I ran away with it and coordinated her whole bed. lol
(Notice the canopies? No, they are NOT princess canopies. They are mosquito nets. aka lifesavers. aka the only reason I go to bed..... well that stretches it a little bit, but you get the picture! hehe!)
She loves red and black.
Black bottom sheet, red top sheet.
The big pillow is two-sided. (Hobby Lobby fabric)
The small one "ties it all together." (Walmart in Monett, MO fabric)
She thinks I'm a little over exuberant about it and laughed when I asked her if I could blog about it, but I don't care! ha! hehe :)
Now mine:
I love blue and brown, especially with a little orange and bright colors to spice it up!
(I love the whole room too, obviously. ;)
Light blue sheets.
Big pillow: brown with all colored stripes. (JoAnns fabric)
Snuggle pillow: one side blue with floral (Hobby Lobby fabric).....
The other side: brown with blue and green polka dots. (JoAnns fabric once again.)
And of course topped with mosquito net. :)
I really love it all except the lime green blanket. (We live in the Caribbean: Anna sleeps warm even with her fan, and I still get cold with my fan.) It's great except for the color! Whoops! haha!
I have had SO much fun over the past six months of completely redoing our room. Especially all the sewing, that has been right up my alley. :)
Tell me what you think: the colors too crazy? What are y'alls rooms like?
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
:)
