The Queen’s Kingdom

IMG_1319

This is the after photo’s of my kingdom (office/Granddaughter room).  Occasionally the grandbabies spend the night and one of them sleeps in this room so I wanted to keep a bed of sorts.  It is so much brighter and much cheerier than it was.  Before it was decorated in a safari theme and I can’t tell you how tired of was of that.  Gag!  The walls are actually much greener (lime sorbet, Behr) than they appear in these pictures.  I’m not the greatest photographer and I don’t have time to keep taking pictures.  You get the idea.

New throne, organizational boxes and shelving.  The room is full of my favorite photo’s.  I plan to purchase a large collage frame and it will be placed to the left of the shelves.

New comforter and pillow.  See the adorable peace sign trash can?

I took the frames that my elephant and giraffe picture’s were in and framed some of Angel and The Rae’s artwork instead.  Isn’t it sweet?  I also found some stickers with children quote’s and saying’s and included them along with their art.  These framed treasures may not look like much to you but they mean the world to me.  They represent a really fun day I spent with the wee ones.  Notice the wording in the picture on the right.  Did you know that once upon a time was actually spelled Wusopona  time?  Love it!

Just found your blog in a round about way. That room is so pretty and organized it makes me kind sick to look at the mess I am in the middle of lol, thanks for inspiring me. I love the background and design of you blog.
How or where did you find the heading and the bandana pattern design on the border?? I will definitely be going back and using some of your recipes, yumm.

Looking forward to following!

You did a great job with your creative space! I love lime green and black together. Tres chic!

And those little creations from your little ones are precious - I know you wouldn't take anything for them. I used to get so ticked to read my kids' kindergarten and first grade journals and try to figure out what they were trying to tell. Our teachers were big on journaling!

I'm sitting in the same sort of office/grandkids playroom/bedroom. I love the artwork and understand fully how precious it is to you. I'd like to do a redo in this room, but don't quite know where to start.
