Update on Olivia's new room

So an update on how I am going on Olivia's new room, all the painting has been done, I am just waiting on the cabinet maker to work his magic, I have used this image from Pinterest as inspiration for her new desk, bookshelves and window seat.

Lets hope that it looks as good as this when it's done.... though I fear that there will be a lot more painting involved, to keep cost down I said I would paint it of course...... I think I will have paint brushes permantly grafted to my hands, that is all I seem to do these days! Anyway back to the pictures of Olivia's room....

There is no mistaking which one is her room! Just a few things I have painted for her over time!

Her hand me down bed, newly painted and her new doona cover really add a splash of colour to the room. I forgot to mention before that the doona cover comes from Adairs Kids range and is called Amelia Elephant!

Well Olivia loves her cover so much, she asked me to paint a picture of the elephant for her walls, so her wish is my command!!! I actually enjoyed doing it.

I haven't hung it yet, I am waiting for the new book shelves to go in first so I can place it properly.

I painted my old wicker bedside tables white, one is in here the other in the new guest room. The lamp is new too, the base came from Sirroco's second store, it had some marks on it but nothing that a blast of white spray paint cant fix! Then I needed a nice (cheap) shade in a turquoise colour, luckily Target comes to the rescue ( I always wish that Target Australia was as good as Target US but it is finally getting better)

Olivia's little friend the fish is happy with the new set up and I know Olivia is too. Stay tuned and hopefully we will have those shelves up soon....cant wait to do some more painting....groan!
