Don't you love...Shared rooms

The Easter long weekend and school holidays make me dream of a little getaway of our own.  Something small and simple and surrounded by lots and lots of nature and not many people.
With a sweet sunny small room for my girls to share.  

A favourite room of mine by House Beautiful; fabric from Raoul Textiles.
I had fun pairing pretty fabrics with my shared room inspirations.  A tiny bit of fabric goes a really long way with simple furniture and white walls.

Although I love the quality and designs, the Raoul Textiles are extremely frustrating.  You can only find them at the agent in Australia, and then you must buy through a designer, even worse you can't even view the range online.  Its the worst business plan I have ever heard of: "lets design the most gorgeous fabric range that comes in ever shade and tint of colour, and then lets not market it! Lets hope some interior designer will think to promote them to their clients."
Anybody else confused?


Fresh blue and white room from Coastal Decorating, fabric from Raoul Textiles.
I almost didn't include these frustratingly gorgeous fabrics because of this nonsense but they are so right for these projects that I couldn't leave them out.  Lets hope the company catch up to this century soon.

Whinge session over, back to dreaming about gorgeous shared rooms with matching wooden beds, simple linen and gorgeous cushion covers, and finding the perfect piece of furniture to go between them.

How cute is this tiny attic room.  Miss E would love it, and Miss J would love it because her sister is in it.

don't you love.....bunk rooms and sleep overs

I wish I had a bunk room like this.  Although this would not be enough for the 10 ten year olds coming for a sleep over party this weekend.  Perhaps I should be planning rather pinning.   We are not expecting to get much sleep, in fact why are they called sleep overs when really they are stay ups?

I adore these fresh colours with the white on white decor, easy to change the quilts up for a different look as the kids get older.  Also having recently made up bunk beds with top sheets and blankets, these are a good height.  Not easy to do the tucking in when you are scrunched up against the ceiling!

Fresh and light again and I am loving the extra wide ladders (again from recent experience wide is better!) and the interesting side rails.

My all time favourite bunk room is the one with the individually curtained beds.  So cozy, I am a late night reader so this would have suited me as a kid.  This house is one of my all time favourites, they didn't put a foot wrong anywhere.

So many designs to choose from but they have in common: wide ladders, white woodwork and rooms with colourful bed linen, individual reading lights. 

Wish me luck for that sleep over...

Pure and simple attic bedroom

I wish I had a rustic attic bedroom like this, a place to dream and play.

I can just imagine my girls sleeping here and jumping up at sunrise to go exploring.

This is an image I have loved for years.  Do you have favourite inspirations that you never get tired of?
