Annie's room --Part 1 Complete

We started last night after returning home from Odessa and didn't get very far. Annie's room over the past 8 or 9 months accumulated quite a bit of eccentric junk. Papers, trinkets, odd toys, beads, pebbles and a whole host of other odds and ends. The collection had to be sorted between what she's keeping and what's she's disposing of. That seemed to take forever...or at least a couple of hours. Once most of the eclectic treasures were removed and others kept, we were finally able to focus on getting the old curtains and bed down. Annie has decided that she'd rather have a love seat instead. Her room was originally done in sunflowers and Anne Geddes pictures and dolls. Annie never was a doll kinda girl...she preferred stuffed animals and bringing in rocks, dirt and grasses from the outside, so it only made sense to go with some bamboo.

We took down the old curtains that have been hanging in the room for the past 8 years and put up some green and purple ones. Annie picked out the colors and they really do look quite fetching. We then moved the love seat from my bedroom and covered it in animal pictured sheets. After that, we attached bamboo to the back of the love seat with copper wiring which Annie salvaged from an old radio. After that was accomplished we then made a canopy from a deep brown curtain sheer and attached that as well with copper wiring. The effect was quite nice and Annie now has a canopied love seat. She added some plastic snakes and a large stuffed snake across the top of her window. We're now moving onto phase two which means more things to dispose of and finding a few more accessories to decorate.
