Well, it got an itch to go ahead and start Hannah's Tinkerbell themed room. SO I went and bought paint yesterday and I am proud to say that I am more than 3/4 of the way done with her room. Of course I painted the walls first. They were an ugly gray when we bought the house last year but now they are the perfect shade of Tinkerbell green. I added wall stickers and crafted a bed canopy today. I still need to get the bedding out, sew some curtains, and add some finishing touches but all in all I am really happy with my progress.
I also made a little holder for her books out or wire hangers, but I haven't decided if I like that or not yet. So we will see if it stays.
The bed canopy was kinda a pain because I knew how I wanted it to look but I wasn't sure how I was going to get there. In the end I am happy with it and so is she. ( Which is the most important part!)
I used the dome top of an old bird cage and I attached it to the wall with mirror hangers. You know the little plastic ones that have a ridge to hold frame less mirrors?
I tied purple tulle to the sides and back of the frame and them I took some satin and stitched out some leaves. ( suppose to look like Tinkerbell;s dress bottom).

Let me just tell ya, this satin is some fraying stuff to work with and it LOVES to move. I used straight pins and bobby pins to keep it in place. I also used a satin stitch to form the leaves.
So this is what I have done so far. What do you think?? Does the bed look like a Tinkerbell bed or am I just bias??
By the way, I bought everything for this room except the paint online. I love online shopping. :D
