Molly's New Room & Owl Rug

As Molly has everything and even she couldn't think of anything she wanted for her birthday we decided to decorate her room. It hadn't been done she she was a baby, just adapted a bit. As we now have four children and only a three bedroom house she would need to share with one of the boys and we decided it would be the littlest Alex, who is still with us a the moment but will move in with Molly eventually.

We needed a theme that would suit a boy and girl and also the different ages, 5 and a baby. I let molly help me pick and together we chose a woodland theme. We brought some gorgeous Curtain Fabric with Owls and foxes and a large tree sticker for the wall, i got matching quilt covers for them, one of which i will make into a cot quilt for Alex. We treated Molly to a mid sleeper bed mainly so we could store her toys underneath to save on space. I painted the Walls a Natural Twine color (well that's what it said on the tin!). I managed to fine a lampshade that almost matched the curtain fabric.

After all this i felt it needed a home made touch so i made some bunting for round the walls. Whilst i was doing all this i saw an image of a crochet owl rug and new that i had to make one as it would finish it off and i really enjoyed making the last one that i have in my bathroom so its any excuse really.

So here it is, though i will have to make some more things for when Alex moves in including Owl blankets for the beds in winter and an Owl mobile for above the cot.
