What I Love Wednesday: Twin Beds for Girl's, Boy's, or Guest Rooms

I had twin beds growing up. With floral wallpaper, a shag rug in light pink, dark pink, and white, floral curtains to match the wallpaper, and I think even matching comforters! It was the 70's and it was awesome.  I SO wish I had a photo of my childhood room!

Changes to my house, and plans for a new room

 First, here is a little vignette I just did in my bedroom. The table was an old console that I covered in blue silk. Everything else you see is Home Goods - the lamps, the frames, the orchid, and the little gold rimmed dishes I found yesterday for a steal - about $3 each. I love that I can see all of my jewelry now (and before any robbers get excited...it's all fake...anything good is on my body or in a safe). The long gold leaf tray has rings and is my favorite for organization because rings are small and I can never find what I want.  Actually, even the table was Home Goods now that I think about it. What would I do without that place?

Here are the crappy ipad photos of it because I was far too lazy to look for my camera:

And I posted yesterday about how Ellie really wants a new room for her birthday.  Remember, her #1 request - carpeted walls?  I talked her out of that.  Here's how I did it: by telling her maybe she could have a built in bed.  She has an alcove in her room that is perfect for it.  It's a disaster now, but I'll show you soon.

So here are the ideas I'm considering (photos linked to sources, so just click to view):

Of course she will only have one bed, but this is the closest (except color wise) to what hers will be. One built in bed with a trundle drawer underneath, (for another mattress) and a canopy. Definitely shelves, too. Picture this cut in half in pink and green:

Although I think I'm liking the outward facing shelves better, like this one: 

And I do love that head board - I'll have to get creative there. Actually, with the canopy like photo 1, that might be too much. Thoughts?

I also like these curtains for privacy, but my husband doesn't. Still might happen though :)

Ok, shelves facing in like above, or out like photo 2?

Curtains? Canopy? Both?

Headboard so it is like a daybed? With a canopy or instead of?

I love to hear your opinions!

Doing a Child's Room? Have you Considered A Themed Room?

I admit it, I kind of like themed rooms.  BUT, only for kids.  Unless it's a tastefully done beach theme or something, I say leave them unless you are under 11.  What do you think?

This one looks suspiciously like a male fantasy room, not a little boys room. Do you agree? It cracks me up!

So, love them or leave them? Are you like me -- ok with the ones for kids but a little suspicious of the adult looking ones?

Final note: do you like these for my family room? I think I'm going to order them...only $25 on One King's today!

And Oh. My. God. Did you see the Dransfield and Ross sale today??   Un-freaking-beleiveable items.  I wish I could buy everything :)

Thanks for reading!!
