TODDLER BEDROOM: Christmas Makeover 2017

Christmas is well and truly upon us now, with festive songs playing in the shops and a (slightly scary) limited number of weeks until Christmas Day itself. This year is particularly exciting because it is the first year Isabella is properly aware of Christmas and she is also now in her 'big girl' bedroom. A few weeks before Poppy arrived in June we moved Isabella into what was our spare room. Just prior to that we had been busy decorating it as quickly as we could (I say 'we', but at 38 weeks pregnant I was no help to anyone!) and, although it still isn't completely finished, we are so happy with the results.

TODDLER BEDROOM: Creating a Gallery Wall with Desenio

I have wanted a gallery wall in our house for as long as I can remember, but I have issue with commitment when it comes to putting things on the walls. For years my husband and I rented and although we could put pictures up on the walls I was always too scared we'd cause damage. When we bought our current house I was looking forward to making it our own, decorating throughout and making it a home. Over the past few years we've gradually decorated the kitchen, utility room, bedrooms and bathroom (usually with the pressure of having a baby on the way!). The latest room we decorated was Isabella's 'big girl' room, just prior to Poppy's arrival - you can see her whole bedroom here.
