Children's Room

We have lots of plans to freshen and brighten White Shutters. One plan is the bedroom we call the "Children's Room". As the natural light is limited (but the room is cooler and it's easier to sleep in light and bright summer evenings for little ones), we are going to make it into a fun themed underwater/seaside room for children from tots to teens, and certainly not twee! The room has two sets of sturdy pine bunk beds (full single bed size) and as you walk in the end wall will look like this. I hasten to add we are not artists, this is a clever wallpaper muralI have been buying up fishy rugs, and bright stripey duvet covers, and have some yellow shell material for scatter cushions for lounging about on the new laminate flooring. So hopefully the new room will appeal to all our younger guests, be low allergen, cool at night and totally screened from bugs. There is also a ceiling fan in all the upstairs bedrooms to keep the air moving.

Is that cheerful, sunny and bright enough?
