Lily is a very lucky girl! Take a look at what her Dad did to her bedroom…

What did you do?

Lily is 4 in June, she asked for a big bed for her birthday, she was in her toddler bed so we decided to decorate her room too, since were in lockdown and not able to do fun things.

We’d recently followed a fairy trail around our village and added some doors to it so she was talking about fairies a lot so we chose that as the design, we googled lots of images to get ideas and daddy sketched out what it would look like.

She didn’t see her room until it was pretty much finished, sleeping in another room for a couple of nights and when it was pretty much finished we showed her she said “daddy I love it so much you’re the best daddy ever”. Daddy hand painted this using emulsion and acrylics for the base coat and then acrylics for the detail design. He hand drew the images and it’s amazing.

Any more plans?

Lily’s birthday is approaching so we’re currently making props for a fair themed garden party.

How are you finding being housebound with kids so far?

Challenging but enjoyable.  Lily doesn’t get screen / TV time very often so I’ve relied on ideas online for craft and play activities. 

Any tips to help people when they are housebound with kids?

Don’t stress, go with the flow and enjoy your time together
