Alaina's Room Continued

The view into Alaina's room as you walk down the hall, through the door. You get a good view here of three of the four silhouettes. The fish bowl will probably be filled in three weeks (or less). I told A that she had to wait till we got back from the cruise before she bugged me about it again.
Instead of a dresser, we decided to use Alaina's old shelves with baskets. That way she had room to store socks, undies, etc and display her things because, even though A is growing up, she still loves her collections and things. Since A hasn't asked for a letterman's jacket yet she decided to hang her patches in a shadow box. Pretty clever if you ask me.
Alaina insisted that we find a place to hang her map. I left that off the list of "REQUIREMENTS". Apparently, she had a dream about being trapped in a foreign country and needed to find an escape route. Luckily, she had a map hanging on her wall.

IKEA had a very clever little board that allowed A to organize her jewelry and purses. Too cute! and practical too. I wanted to put a full length mirror here and have a bit more space for organizing accessories. This is one of those compromises that I did not win.

I am just realizing that I should have done this "last" post, first and posted the other one about her room after I posted this one so they show up in the blog in the correct order. For some reason I was limited as to how many pictures I could upload tonight. There may be a way to switch them around, but it's late, church is early and I am tired so I'm going to bed. You'll just have to read these two posts out of order and figure it out for yourself.

p.s. as a reward for reading all the way to the bottom of these postings...I am having a contest to see who can find the item that does not belong in Alaina's room. It is sort of a "where's waldo" contest. Identify what does not belong in her bedroom and you will win a prize!
