Childhood memories built here.
(Create personalized wall art. – encourage sisterhood)
As I stood outside my two daughters’ shared bedroom I was excited that I’ve finally finished reorganizing their space. I suppose I can tell you that the cute little things were gifts from generous family and friends purchased from Potterybarn Kids, HomeSense and the likes, but the room has a different story to share. It reminded me of something a lot more significant. I’m the middle child and the only daughter, I loved growing up with brothers. I knew about comic books, sports, wrestling, superheroes and Nintendo but a part of me still really enjoy playing with dolls, dressing up and girly things. I remembered a time when we stayed over at a family friend’s place.
It was memorable because they had two daughters and they had the most spectacular room from what I remember. It had everything I ever dreamed of, a kitchen, a dollhouse, a pretend play area, books etc. But what made it even more incredible was how excited the two girls were to share everything with me. We had a sleepover and I watched Disney’s Sleeping Beauty for the first time there. It wasn’t about the stuff, it was the warmth and generosity that I remembered. I felt sisterly love and I share this story with our own daughters to strengthen their big hearts — to help them be humble, grateful and kind. As they grow older I want them to know the importance of sisterhood, to be generous of what they have to all the other women they will meet. We as women need to know we can trust each other, to feel we belong.
A fun little project to personalize her room.
P.S. I painted feathers for the girls and added quotes, on one of them it says “I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground.” – all things come from above and we are humbled by love, let us share it freely. (You can also find these designs at our shop, visit us here)
I love the wall art! Looks like a lovely space for Julia and Camryn. May your wishes for them come true. Thanks for sharing 😊
