OMG! You are so talented in so many ways! The canopy is darling. And the painting! Wow, just wow.
Ooh I love that “canopy” I’ve been wanting to do something like that out of tulle for my daughters! Thanks for the idea!
SOOOO cute! I love that canopy. I want to do one in a less little girly fashion for above our bed, but I haven’t figured it out yet. I think maybe in a heavier more man-friendly fabric. Know what I mean? I will keep that planter idea in mind though. I love it!
I also love your picture you painted. I don’t think it even needs a frame. Cute as is!
wonderful!
I absolutely love your painting!
What a sweet idea!!! I would love this for when my daughter moves into a “big girl bed.” Your blog is great, and congratulations on posting at Moda Bake Shop. That is great!
Where did you get the tiny Alice in Wonderland doll on her bookshelf. Is it a Madame Alexander? It almost looks like one of the MA happy meal dolls. But I don’t think they ever made one.
Melissa, in my next life I want to be YOU. Amazing. My kids would slap me if they saw Syndey’s room…
I would like to hear a little more about the hanging nest with the bird in it…my daughter would love that in her room!
