we've done another room shuffle-swap to accommodate a certain someone who prefers her own quiet space these days away from smaller siblings (as the eldest of four, i get it).
this wee room at the top of the stairs previously held her little brothers toddler bed and a set of drawers - no room for anything else so we had to get creative to make it a space that could work for ivy. daddy was sweet enough to indulge my vision and went foraging in the barn and woods for things to use to build this awesome loft bed ! it's a perfect match for our quirky tree loving gal.
it was fun to hang all her happy little things up on the walls. there's a cupboard in the hallway for her clothes and a few baskets in there too for her journals and letter-writing stuff and collections. she's a pretty simple girl - as long as she has a book, a pencil and an animal with her she'll be happy forever.(one of these days daddy will build a ladder, but for now she climbs in via the windowsill. keeps little brothers out of her bed !)
Ah, it is such a wonderful sweet little space. It brings tear to my eyes.

Are you kidding me?!? As the oldest of 3, that would have been my favorite spot. And no ladder - great way to keep my brother and sister out! It looks magical.

As the Youngest of four that would have been amazing! A little space that was all mine and I didn't have to share? Oh my! It's wonderful!

Love it! This is a room I would have wanted when I was little. It's like a little clubhouse or secret hideaway!:)

What a beautiful haven of peace! Perfect for a rainy day read, a spring bird watch, and a goodnight moon sleep. I love her quilt and spotty rug.
