Inside our nest: The little lady’s room

Take a look around in my favorite room in our apartment – Ladybug’s very own room. It’s the only room that is now almost completely done just the way I pictured it. I’m very happy with how it has turned out and how well it suits our little girl and her personality. A pink princess -room would not be her thing – she’s way too cool for that sort of thing. Anyone who’s under the impression that blue is a masculine color has obviously not seen Ladybug’s room.

Before you start, take a quick look at the before and after of her room {HERE} so you can really see how much work and love has gone into the making of the perfect kid’s room. And do let me know what you think!

Enjoy!
Our little lady has now got her very own big-girl-bed. She got it from my auntie Gerli (one of my mom’s best friends) – it has hardly ever been slept in and fits Ladybug’s little room perfectly. We’re forever grateful to Gerli, me especially – Ladybug’s sleeping habits have improved quite a lot since she got to move out of the crib and into her very own real bed.
The drawer under her bed is there to store all her Duplos. Having assigned storage space for each and every toy and book makes it very easy for the little one to clean up her room after she’s done playing. Which she does. Proud!
The lovely kitties Kadi drew for our Ladybug are still there, watching over her while she sleeps.
The only reason her toy chest isn’t bursting with toys is probably that most of them were scattered all across the apartment while I was taking these pictures.
I thought about wiping the blackboard wall clean, then changed my mind pretty fast. Surely, you guys are more interested in what Ladybug’s works of art look like. 🙂
Ladybug’s new little wardrobe. It didn’t photograph well, I’ll give you a closer look some other time. It has two doors and two separate sections. Each one has a hanger pole with enough space to hang tiny little clothes and two shelves. Below the doors are two drawers with wheels so she can pull them out and reach whatever is inside. The right one is for all her books and the left one is for Legos.
I think the rug is absolutely adorable and fits in perfectly. However, if the dog spends more than three minutes in Ladybug’s room (and she does, because those two are the bestest of friends), the rug is covered in a thick layer of dog hair. Yuck.
Her brand new cloudy, princessy, fluffy white tulle curtains on her new curtain rod. 
Ever since I got the ceiling lamp for my little girl’s room, I’ve been wanting a matching lamp for her window pane – after all, they match the walls so extremely well. IKEA has only had it in yellow, but the interior design perfectionist inside me would never have purchased a mismatching one. When we last went shopping in Stockholm, we found this one in their bargain corner (the place where all defective items go for a lower price) for 33% off – it was the last one, the one that had been on display in the store. I like to think it was fate that brought us together. 
Why she has a ball tent in her room? Would you say no to having one? Yeah, didn’t think so.
