New Room - Part 2

 So I set off to put the rest of the girl's room together. I knew I wanted a shared nightstand between the two beds. I have found in the past that nightstands can be surprisingly expensive, and I have often substituted interesting side tables. That idea worked well for this room, as I was wanting a minimalist look anyway. I found this side table at Marshall's, I believe, and I just love the circular cut-out detail. I turned the table sideways between the beds, and I think it looks pretty interesting.

Max made her way into this shot. The room itself is very difficult to photograph due to the large window that back-lights the entire space. It's a beautiful effect in the room, but it doesn't make for great photography.

Next, I decided to put a coat rack into the room. I have one in my bathroom, and I love it for design and practicality. This one was nice and tall, and I noticed that the girls naturally began to use it to hang various items, so that's a good thing.

Also here is one of the pieces of wall art I found for the room. I know it's a little pre-fab, but time is an issue, so not everything in the room could be wonderfully original. Besides, the picture tied in the wall color, the turquoise and the dark brown. By now, based on the items I had collected for the room, I decided on a cosmopolitan-fashion theme. I found these wall decals on the clearance rack in Target, and the "London" sign had been in the room when it was our office.

That's the London and NYC skylines above the closets. Certainly they don't scream "little girl's room!", but that's just the way a room puts itself together. You can see the towel-hook between the doors. I happened to find this distressed hook with a glass knob and it was a nice touch. As for the giant tassel, I tend to just throw tassels on things. Knobs, banisters, vases...I just like it. Next up, dressers, mirrors and curtains.
