Lots of great little touches, love the clipboard for a mouse-pad idea and the headboard, and the nightstand. I also like that the room is white, shows what you can do with a rental even if you can't paint.

This is really nicely done. And notably, not overdone. Just right.

Thanks so much for all the positive comments.
I don't have a link to the original picture - it came from the O at Home magazine, I think.

I finished this room before the Spring Cure began - I didn't know about Cures then. I was in the midst of doing my own cure and found the poster, which had been in a closet for about 20 years. I got it in London in the Underground. A man was changing out the ads in the big glass cases there. I fell in love with it and asked him where I could buy one. He pulled one out of his cart and gave it to me. It's huge, so I took it and had it mounted on foam core.
And Boomer Sooner! :)

Stac, Love that room! You worked so hard on the room, from the bare concrete to the beautiful carpet, walls, and what about that beautiful DESK!!! I also love that scrapbook, with little girl on the front. It is happy to look at and I know you love sitting there with "Callie". Good Luck!!SMD
