Giant Paper Flowers

I found these lit houses at a local auction, and decided to use them as the anchor to a garden theme bedroom for our daughters. The walls were a deep periwinkle blue with bright white trim. We mounted the houses to the wall (they are just props -- the doors don't open) and the girls loved to use them as nightlights -- really big nightlights!

I made picket fence headboards painted white, and found sheer shower curtains with colorful appliqued flowers to use as window treatments.
I used the large gerbera daisies "planted" in galvanized French Flower buckets as accents. They were a simple, perfect finishing touch, and the girls just loved their new room.
We even put plastic glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling, so at night the houses would glow and they could look up at the stars. It was magical!
