Gwen's Bedroom Artwork

Those of you who are friends with me on facebook have probably seen this picture I posted of what we have so far for Gwen's new "big girl" room which is turning out cute. But of course, not done. :)

So I'm trying to work on a something to go over her bed. At first I wanted to find an oval frame, chevron fabric and put a large "G" on it, something like this photo from Pinterest. But I already have a couple of g's in the room and I thought it might be too much.


 But after checking my boards trying to find the picture above I now have a few different options running through my head now. The first option I'll ask you all about is I thought I would paint the frame shown here, black and then I would cut out a silhouette of an animal in white fabric to attach to the red and white striped fabric to go above the bed. (I know, we didn't even make our bed this morning.)


Here are some of the animals I found for the silhouette that I thought were cute. Which ones do you like?




Then this is the other option I found I pinned and I'm kinda contemplating just copying it. That's horrible I know, but I've seen these half bird cages at Garden Ridge and Hobby Lobby and would take basically no work on my part and still just as adorable. Thoughts?

Btw, I am totally in love with that coral bed. It was just one of those plain wood headboards you see everywhere. She got it for $15 at goodwill and painted it! Yay for thrifting!

  1. I really like both! I love chevron but I just had one thought about the animal silhouette: white animal on a striped fabric with one of the colors being white means that you won't be able to see the boundAries of the silhouette in those white lines spaces. You could use a small patterned fabric though. Or use two colored stripes. But I'm sure whatever you pick will be super cute because her room already looks adorable. You could paint the birdcage coral if u like that coral pop so much! Just a thought :) Have fun with it! The only problem with "finishing" a room is wanting to do it all over again :) So then I guess it's time for another kid. JUST KIDDING!!!
