L's New Bedroom

L has never really had her own bedroom before.  We decorated a nursery for her in our house in England but there was no built in heater in it so she ended up sleeping in our bedroom the whole time we were there.  Once we moved in with my mom they had to share a bedroom.
Finally in our new house she has a whole room all to herself!  It was my top priority once we moved in to make L's room as special as we could for her.
So here it is!
I tried to keep it as Montessori friendly as possible.  All of the artwork and mirrors are at her level.  She has her book shelf in here with a chair for reading or she can chill out on the bottom bunk.  She also has her little kitchen and all of her food in here to play with.
I love her little canopy bed.  It's so magical when we put the lights on at night.  L is over the moon with the whole thing and takes the bed safety rules very seriously, always climbing down the stairs backwards.

    Bear saw that bed when we were shopping at Ikea and requested it:) She already has a perfectly fine bed, but this one does look fun and inviting. Lovely room. Lucky girl:)

    Seeing this room makes me even more jealous that we don't have an Ikea. They say it is coming in 2012...

    Your little girl is so lucky to have a momma who puts so much thought into her environment!
