This room was also fun for me because I had a blank slate to work with-- no fabric or paint that I had to match. After taking down the blue and white striped wallpaper (that I actually liked, but didn't want to use), it was time to get started.
It was not long after we had moved to Richmond that I went in Printer's Alley. They happened to be having an end of the year fabric sale, and I ended up spotting the perfect fabric there. It was a clean, contemporary design of circles and squares with robin's egg blue, brown and cream. I loved the fabric and found out that it was even more perfect at $3 a yard! There were 8 1/2 yards on the bolt-- just enough to make two curtains for the room.

I later found a brown comforter and painted the room a light aqua by Behr. My mom even found some chocolate brown, aqua and cream fabric with birds on it to make an accent pillow for the bed.

I recently took the three wood and iron frames off the walls and replaced them with two framed pictures of birds, which match the bird theme on the accent pillow.
