Room Make Over: A Fashion Fairytale

When we moved to this house a little over a year ago, we had to decide where the girls' room/s would be.  This house is a little bigger square-footage-wise than our last place, but instead of 4 bedrooms, we now have 3.  One of the 3 is downstairs and with younger children, inevitably they wake up in the middle of the night, need help, sleepwalk, get sick at night, etc.; so we didn't want to put any of them downstairs for now.  Upstairs has 2 bedrooms and 1 of the bathrooms and one of the bedrooms is double the size of the other.  We decided to make the larger room the girls' dorm and put them all in it and give ourselves the smaller room.  This has worked out really well and the girls enjoy having each other around and hanging out together.  This did give me a challenge when decorating, though.  I didn't want it to be decorated as a nursery (eventhough our youngest just turned 2) because the older girls have already outgrown the "babyish" themes, as they would say.  I also wanted whatever we chose to appeal to the younger girls (5, 3, 2 years old) as well as the older girls (7 and 8).  Then, I got an idea.

On Dakota's birthday, I gave her a Barbie movie because she likes all of her sisters' Barbie movies so much.  The movie she received is called, "Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale", and in it Barbie goes to Paris to visit her aunt whose fashion house is beginning to fail and the story is about the restoration of her business.  Then, I was on Amazon looking for vinyl decals for the girls' walls and found several that either had to do with Paris and/or fashion from different merchants.  So, I ordered them and got to work putting them up.  This is an easy way to decorate that isn't very expensive, looks nice, and can be removed and changed later on.  Here are our results; see what you think!
