Twin Girls Bedroom : Mix and Match

My twin 3.5 year olds are two very different little girls, hence the challenge to create a room for them that matches two sets of bedding. Thankfully Target carries quite a few comforters in coordinating colors!

 

The letter are paper mache letters from Joann's. I decoupaged them with several different scrapbook papers in matching colors and patterns. The shelf is from Ikea. All bedding, pillows and painting are from Target.


This valance was made using the pillow shams from the comforters sets. Knowing I would never actually use them, I cut them up into strips and put them on a curtain rod. No sewing required, as the pillow shams already had a stitch that allowed just enough space for the rod!


We removed the bifold door from the closet to make the room a little less cramped and the girls use the bottom half of the closet for play and toy storage. Lastly, I pained the mural to match both sets of bedding. It was a very long project but well worth it! The girls love it.
