I love decorating. I love decor. I love glossy magazines and blogs and pin boards devoted to the topic. My problem is that I get so overwhelmed by all the insanely creative and fantastic ideas out there that I usually end up feeling more fetal than inspired…especially when it comes to the decoration of kids’ rooms.
Anymore, it seems like it’s not enough to give a child their own special place to sleep and play. Rather, a kid’s room must inspire creativity and individuality–whimsy! A romp on the back of Aslan through Narnia! A princess fetish!
It’s no wonder June’s bedroom looks like this…

The Babble link is broken.
Yep the link to “the rest of the story” isn’t working.
It’s working now!
The new storage unit does make a world of difference. Don’t buy into the overdone kiddie room thing. My mother couldn’t afford to do a room in extreme child decor, which would have forced a complete redo in a very few years, plus people didn’t expect so much back then. I just had a normal paint job and furniture, but had my own radio and later a stereo) and all my things, and was happy as a clam. I wasn’t warped for life or anything. I loved my room, because it was my private space. From a young age, I knew the best decor was a full book shelf!
Just do what you are comfortable with and can afford and she will be just as happy as if she had a “princess palace.”
