Wooded Wonderland Theme

A more beautiful setting than a wooded wonderland theme could not be imagined for our house so for our kids' room, I wanted to mimic the outdoors. Rolling hills, a lake, indigenous wildlife all flank the walls of the room. The ceiling is a painted cloudy sky with glow in the dark stars hidden in the cloud texture for when the lights turn off.
Natural wood dons my son's crib while the baby bedding that I bought at Babies R Us is sage green. My four year old daughter's side of the room sports olive green linens from Bed Bath and Beyond and overhead hangs a tree swing with two of her favorite stuffed animals displayed on a board from Michaels.
We inherited some antique sideboards which made for great storage and display areas where we could display pictures and decorative items in conjunction with our Wooded Wonderland Theme room. Because of that, the most expensive part of this room was the wall paint!
I love this room. It feels so real that I expect Peter Rabbit to come hopping off the walls and start making mischief with my little ones at any time.
