We moved Claire's furniture around, as we are wont to do a couple times a year, but this time we did an arrangement we haven't tried before. We used to have to leave a lot of space on the floor for playing (which meant pushing the bed up against the wall or sticking it on the shorter wall), but that's not so important anymore, because she doesn't play on the floor too much anymore. Sniff.
This new arrangement allows for a nightstand to go next to her bed, which is nice. But when I moved the bookcase off the wall, there was a big blank space, and I didn't want to move her chalkboard to center it, because there are holes in the wall behind it. :D
So we went to Pottery Barn kids, and I found this big bird-and-tree vinyl decor thingy. It's great, because you put up the branches and birds and leaves however you want them. It took, seriously, about eight minutes to put up. It was easy and fast and fun. It also came with two owls, but we thought they were kind of scary (we don't think owls are scary ... just these owls, whose eyes were a bit too psychedelic) so we put some butterflies up, instead.
