My last post on Real Row House Kids' rooms inspired a me to create a couple of 'Idea rooms'; one for younger children and another for a teenage girl. There are some great things on the market right now for kids' rooms!
The Owl Room
The Owl Room
An entire room for under $1200.
This room could work for either a boy or girl.
Pottery Barn's Lewis Headboard, twin size, slipcovered in natural linen, $149.00
Dwell Studio's Owls Duvet @ Diapers.com $156.00
Etsy, my favorite place for pillows. Love this large owl pillow, $28.00
Use this fun chest of drawers as the bedside table. Available at CB2, $399.00.
IKEA Expedit bookshelf is great since it easily holds both bins and books, $89.99.

A couple of Nasum baskets from IKEA fit perfectly in the Expedit bookshelf and add texture as well as much needed storage.

Two of these IKEA under bed bins for toys. $79.99 each.
This Wishbone chair is a fabulous knock-off of the original and for a fraction of the originals price, $145.99.
Paint the room Benjamin Moore's Pale Sea Mist (eggshell) with Benjamin Moore White Dove trim (semi-gloss).

The shade on this lamp needs to be changed (white barrel shade, available at Target, would look much better). But this lamp is about 1/3 the price of similar lamps on other sites. Well worth the trouble of changing the shade. A charming accent that isn't easily broken.

Two of these, peacock blue throw pillows from Etsy.

West Elm's Safari rug would look great underfoot.
