Some Wonderful Girl's Rooms

Little girls often dream of having their very own special rooms........their own little havens.

The following rooms have lots of details and ideas to incorporate into a child's room to personalize for any child.........murals, canopies, wall art, wonderful fabrics, monograms, side chairs, antiques, chandeliers and stuffed friends scattered about with comfort, color and prettiness everywhere!

Any child's dream!

Enjoy!

What little girl wouldn't love this room?  Living in a tent like room and surrounded by friends?

Love this ostrich painting.

Palm Beach Vacation Home

Pink is hot!!  I am seeing more and more of it in decor every day......and loving every bit of it!

Today I happened upon this gorgeous vacation home in Palm Beach while checking out the new Traditional Home issue.

Designed by owner and interior designer, Robin Weiss, it is a getaway for her and her husband and she went all out in furnishing it in bold color and exquisite style!

Enjoy!!

Colette van den Thillart's Barbados Getaway

Wow!  The more I see of Colette's designs, the more I love them.

After seeing her family's Barbados getaway, I feel a real 'kindred spirit' in her work........especially in this house where she has used shades of pink throughout and uses her beachcombing finds to accessorize her island home.

Colette mentions in this Canadian House and Home article that she has always been inspired by the great English designer, Oliver Messel, who famously designed and decorated many Caribbean homes with several of them in Barbados.  While using a couple of his ideas, Colette used shades of coral pink and brown to give her getaway her own special touch.

The Messel green wrought iron railings and gingerbread trim.  A very inviting entrance.

The coral pink in the living room, wicker and seashell accented hutch produce a calming, tropical touch.  The pink slipper chairs add to the softness, as well as the two blush pink chairs on each side of the hutch.

Love this desk area where Colette can work and/or craft with her beach finds.

Love the seashell lamp and that she color co-ordinated the books in shades of pink.....if they weren't already pink, she covered them so they would be!

The Chinese pagoda chandelier is an Oliver Messel reminder.......

Now, look at this pink striped ceiling in the kitchen and the co-ordinating pillows in the living room.

Thoughtful details give it a unique look!

A welcoming bath with an outdoor screen for privacy.

This is the outdoor family room!

The coral lamps on the night table are distinct and it's nice to see the foot stools/seats at the foot of the bed match the two in the living room and could be moved out there when extra seating is required.  

All in all, an absolutely wonderful family getaway - colorful, casual and personalized to suit the family!
