A lovely lady has requested some completed photos of Bronte's room and I am more than happy to oblige :)
Miss B's room is a mirror image room to Elka's so it was fun making them different! Elka's is done in lilac with green touches, polka dot curtains and a chandelier (link here to some old pics). So for Bronte we chose pale pink (Dulux Tea Party in Quarter Strength, isnt that a great paint name for a little girls room!) and decided to be a little different and team it with black and white to add a little edge.
Elka's "thing" is stars, and Bronte's is owls, so there is a slight owl theme also.
My mum sewed the double block out curtains for me from fabric I chose (I have a huge thing about japanese blossoms). The majority of furniture is from IKEA, including another bookself-convertible change table as we fell in love with it for Elka. Great use of space and just detach the change extension table when you are done and you have a sweet set of shelves for your kids room. There is a pendant frosted glass lampshade as the main light, which looks lovely but Jase does hit his head on it.
I lucked upon the toy box in a hardware store of all places and love it! The owl mobile above the change table is sewn by me, as tradition, as I also sewed Elka's star mobile above hers... I was worried that the black floor rug would be too heavy looking for a babies room but it looks great and Bronte loves playing on it.
So here are the pics!

About Me
- Amy
- I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)

oh like the black & white, is that a Mason Pearson hairbrush on the tall boy?? We have 5 of them in our houehold (lots of girls) in all different sizes. Love Posie
PS cute koala in the last post, my children all came to look at it!!
Just gorgeous Amy!! You have great style!!
Thanks guys.
Posie - great spotting. Yes we are huge Mason Pearson fans here too - I have three of different sizes and the girls have one each in the small size :) how good are they! once you have one you can't have any other brush!
Glad the kids liked the koala.
Thanks Leesa!
What a cute room. Love the black and white cherry blossom theme, and what a view from the window.
Gorgeous Amy! Thanks so much for sharing - I love how its all come together! I'm not a huge 'pink' person, so we're planning on doing Ashleigh's bedroom in purples, but I have some time and might have to re-think a 'pink' room for her after seeing Bronte's room so well accessorised!
The wall colour is lovely and I think the black and white goes really well with it, also it will last her a while because it is not too "babyish".
