My daughter turned 6 recently and her big present was a cabin bed. She took some convincing to move to a new room at the back of the house and away from our bedroom but had her first night yesterday and all went well (as she very proudly woke up to tell me at 5 am).


I need some ideas about making her room pretty and functional. We have the bed of course but need a large rug, new curtains and any other little touches. The bed has a small desk, shelves etc. (it's this one http://www.gltc.co.uk/fcp/product/-/bedroom_furniture_midsleeper_bunk_beds/Reece-Midsleeper-Cabin-Bed---White/10000002983)


While she is rather girly now I don't want to go full on girly as I don't want the room to date too quickly!

There was a local woman on here a couple of years ago who had a business selling fabric wall stickers. They were really cool and equally important super easy to put on and take off! Obviously this is useless information if I can't remember what her business was called... Will cast around and try to remember but if no luck then wall stickers in general?


ETA found it!

I highly recommend them.

a warning - my daughter went through the obligatory pink phase at the time that we re-decorated our house and so her room was painted a pale pretty pink (Farrow & Ball no less)


she has now outgrown the pink phase and shows signs of goth-ish leanings, although not yet 9

needless to say, the pink bedroom is no longer in favour, but it's going to be a while before we can afford to redecorate!

We did three white walls and one bright pink one covered in re-usable stickers from B & Q, which to my surprise have withstood various moving around. Thought it would not be too hard to re-paint just one wall when the pink fall-out comes. Also a neutral carpet but with a bright rug, central room lamp shade and girly bedside lamp.


Also had a white flatpack wardrobe from Ikea, which I have let be stickered up to the max with whatever wanted.


Never got round to curtains and still have the blackout blinds from when tiny.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
