Feel like it's time to redecorate my 2.5 yr old daughters bedroom. Anyone have any good cheap ideas? Before she was born I put up jungle stickers (did not find out sex beforehand) and I feel like she's totally bored of them (and has pulled half of them off anyway). Want to keep the walls and blackout blind cream and not planning on changing her furniture. So whatever I do it's not going to look dramatically different. But she's getting really into dressing up, princesses and all that jazz so feel like she would love something along those lines (although I'm not a massive fan of lots of pink girly stuff). Any ideas? She's still in a grobag so can't even buy her a new duvet set. Does anyone have one of those little curtains that go above the bed like a tent?? Inspiration???

i saw a lovelyhouse where the walls were white and then there were lots of picture frames painted on the walls so the little girl and friends could all put paintings in the "frames", but she told me they had stuck pictures in the frames to begin with.
There are so many things you can do, depending on how much money you want to spend. If you want to keep costs low you always can do some decorations yourself. I painted few pictures for my daughter's room but if you are not very into painting you can make something out of paper like dream catchers and hang them on the lamp. We decided to dedicate one of the walls for a mural but again if you don't want to paint you can make paper butterflies, flowers, castle, etc. and stick it on. It?s a great fun especially when doing it with your child they always want to help :)
You can get some big sticker-type things which stick on the wall but can be taken off (I think) - they used to stock them in the Horniman shop. Lots of lovely things not necessarily all pink and girly - animals, fish, etc. Always thought they look really good.

I was leafing through this book in the library the other day

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Domino-Decorating-Room---Room-Creating/dp/1416575464/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307102814&sr=1-1


Its got some beautiful ideas for kids bedrooms from what I remember (it must of done cos made a mental note to remember the name of the book). It is an interiors book but the kids rooms weren't pretentious in anyway and easy to replicate. worth a look x

    • Received this response from TFL today (15 October)   Thank you for contacting us on 1 October regarding the ongoing diversion of the P13 bus route between Rye Lane and Sainsbury’s, Dog Kennel Hill, since 29 September. You’re absolutely right that the diversion is due to Thames Water works in the area. While other traffic may appear to be flowing freely along Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road, our local Service Delivery Manager has confirmed that buses are unable to safely make the turn from Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road in either direction. This is due to the size and turning radius of the vehicles, which differs significantly from that of smaller vehicles. We understand that diversions can be inconvenient and appreciate your patience while this work is ongoing. We’re continuing to monitor the situation closely and will restore the usual route as soon as it is safe and operationally feasible to do so. Thanks again for contacting us. If there is anything else we can help you with, please reply to this email. Alternatively, you can call us on 0343 222 1234 and we'll be happy to help you.
    • If anyone is looking for a tree surgeon, I recommend Hamish and Cut Above Tree Management. He was very helpful and personable, quick to respond and did an excellent job of removing a wonky tree in my garden with a minimum of hassle. A fantastic service!
