My 9 year old daughter wanted to make a few changes to her room. She’s in between the character bedding stage and the free-spirit teenager bedroom style.
In other words, I can still have my way with her room.
After looking through a couple of magazines (and having a mild heartache at bedding and room decor prices), we agreed she just needed a few big girl touches.
So, I thought a canopy over her bed would be fun. I bought a long white tab top curtain. (I got mine at Ikea, but they are available just about everywhere).
I bought different colors of wide ric rac that matched her quilt from a fabric store.
I spaced the ric rac strips out on the curtain. I heated up my glue gun and she helped secure each piece:
I bought two cheap curtain rods and attached the hardware to her ceiling. I threaded the tab top ends thru one rod and hung the other end of the curtain by draping it over the other rod:
I’m really pleased with how it turned out! It gives her bed a canopy-feel and cost approximately $25.
My daughter saw some cute girly chandeliers in a Pottery Barn magazine that were the price of a minivan, so we made our own.
I bought a cheap beaded candle holder. It caught my eye because it was a hanging candle holder.
I found some crystal hanging things (I think they were ornaments) to hang on the bottom of the candle holder.
I glued a strand of fake pearls on the bottom to hang it:
Turned out pretty cute:
I think our homemade ‘chandelier’ is pretty cute, especially since it cost less than $10!

. I think it is an essential book for every woman and I think it is a MUST READ for every woman. Check it out from the library, borrow it, buy it for $10. It completely changed the way I understand men, specifically my hubby. I learned how men think, what they retain, what they need, why they need it….and this information is based on hundreds of men, like our husbands. So, if you use sex in any other way in your marriage then the way God created it, it’s wrong and utterly damaging. Or if you don’t make yourself available to your husbands, you are making his life very challenging and you may even weaken his resolve for purity. And of course, your hubby needs to read this version
