Eliza's Room Tour

I've been thinking that I want to share what our house looks like room by room.  I may or may not make it through the entire house.  We'll see.  But hopefully I'll at least share the kids' rooms.  Eliza's is the smallest room but probably my favorite.  I really like the way it turned out.

Now, when you see her room you might ask yourself if it's actually a room at all.  Does it count as a room if it has no closet?  What if it doesn't have any windows or electrical outlets?  Well, it is a room because she chose it as her room.  When we first moved in I thought that the Harry Potter Closet would make a cool reading nook/hideout so I began piling our extra blankets and Pillow Pets in there.  When E saw what I was up to she immediately said she wanted it as her room, and she's been there ever since.  We made it more bedroom-ish with some little shelves from IKEA, some stick-on hooks for purses, and other decorations.  (The butterflies are my absolute favorite, and perhaps the cheapest and easiest room decoration project I've ever done.)  Her twin-sized mattress just fits in the room and since there's no space for any other furniture, her clothes are actually in a dresser in the playroom.

Sometimes Eliza does complain that she doesn't have a "real" room, but I know that she also really appreciates having her own space.  There are times when she needs to be alone and we are all grateful that she has a way to do that.  She takes pride in her room and enjoys showing it off to people when they come over.  I love that she loves it.
