A room fit for a princess!

 

A pink floral swaged canopy sets the stage for this stately room; a mother’s childhood dream is now reality for her 5 year old little girl! The bedroom was created around the theme of tiny garden fairies and butterflies dancing amongst wild flowers. I created the bedding with a combination of ready made bedding and custom made from my workroom. I love the layered chiffon ruffle Euro shams and bed skirt. My favorite piece in the room is the custom designed butterfly chandelier; it’s made of hand painted porcelain butterflies and daggling crystals and is custom colored for this space. I also had matching bedside table lamps made to match. At the foot of the bed I placed a bench that’s great for getting dressed and is a fabulous art piece, it’s adorned with mosaic tiles and hand painting.

The adjoining playroom dove under the sea with a mural of mother and daughter as mermaids. I had so much fun with the window treatment in this space. The valance is designed with layered asymmetrical triangles of blue silk adorned with spiral cut ruffles of multi colored iridescent chiffon inspired by seaweed, sequins and Swarovski crystals add sparkle like glistening water, it’s magical! I created a small seating area of two child size chairs, a sofa and ottoman, the little girl who lives here loves to have parties with her dolls and stuffed animals on them. To keep the space neat and tidy I had a custom cabinet built to fit the entire wall it’s hand painted and adorned with mosaic tiles and has ample storage space for toys and doll dresses. I love cupboards, bookcases and toy boxes I think it’s important to give children the tools to keep things tidy at a young age that way being neat is second nature!

 

A bathroom fir for a princess

For the adjoining bathroom I continued the theme of the bedroom and duplicated the valance design. The focal point of this space is an incredible freeform shaped mosaic mirror that coordinates with the end of the bed bench and cupboard in the playroom. Whenever you have a series of spaces such as theses adding a few coordinating pieces to each space creates visual unity.

I plan to keep adding more designs if you’re curious to see more now you can visit my design portfolio at Wiggles n Giggles by clicking here: http://www.wigglesngiggles.com/portfolio/gallery/4-The_fairiest_spaces.html
