Cath Kidston launched an amazing competition to design your
dream room in a shoebox! I love Cath Kidston and it was such a cute idea for a
competition, that I just had to enter.
I originally wanted to do something a bit whacky for a
chance to win, but ended up making a pretty traditional room. None of the
examples on the website had windows, so the first thing I wanted to do was make
a huge window with a spectacular view. I chose to cut an intricate swirly
design with a heart for a bit of a fairytale detail.
I have always dreamed of having a four-poster bed – there’s
something magical about being able to draw curtains around yourself. Must have
something to do with the princess and the pea. So I made the pinkest, most
princess-worthy bed I could with pieces of cardboard and heart buttons.
The wardrobe was my favourite thing to make. I have a
passion for dresses. Big, pretty vintage ones to be precise. So my dream room
would have a big wardrobe bursting with wonderful dresses in it. I found
perfect matching vintage buttons for the handle and cut little Cath Kidston
flowers from some note paper for decoration.
A few finishing touches such as a little handmade vase, a
dolls hat and a knitting bag add to my uber-girly room. (I have actually just
bought this knitting bag from the store in the hopes that I may make my own
Harry Potter jumper with a ‘K’ on. So far I just have the bag and three
knitting needles. It’s a start at least.)
