Maja's new room

We closed on the new house yesterday. Phew. I can't believe we are going to get off our current street and move on to a much more family-friendly block. It's almost too good to be true! Moving date is set for June 21. Well, we need to do ALOT of work. Kitchen... replace carpet... refinish floor in one room... paint... And ya'll know how much I LOVE to paint. ha ha ha ha Here are some pictures of what will eventually be Maja's room. This room is on the third floor front. It's got two big windows (as you can see), a built in shelving area, and a large closet. What I find so amazing, is that this room alone has 5 outlets. Impressive. The walls of the entire third floor of this house, unfortunately, are covered in paneling. I'm thinking that I'll use this to my advantage when painting Maja's room and do the panels in 'stripes' -- not too much contrast between the colours, but enough to make it interesting. The closet and the built-in shelf. I'm thinking of putting a cushion on the bottom ledge -- a little reading nook? Might be too small for that. I wonder, though, if I could extend that ledge out and put a cupboard underneath?
