Surfer Girl Heaven!!!

These past few months we have been working on redoing Kyla's room from a horse themed room to a surfer girl room. In the summer we sold her loft bed and purchased new bedding from Pottery Barn Kids and we found this really cool banana leaf cabana to go over the top of her bed. We repainted the walls a cool tropical blue and I added a palm tree and surf shack sign. For Christmas Kyla got some other cool accessories like a grass bed skirt, flip-flop lights to go around her cabana, a new Hawaiian themed lamp and lots of other cool accessories, but.....for her birthday she received the best thing of all. Grandpa and Grandma Liptack made the most awesome surfboard headboard. They took the designs from actual surfboards and used colors from her room to match. Now when Kyla sleeps she can practically hear the waves wash in. She can dream of surfing the big one (she actually has never been surfing) and lounge around in a tropical paradise. We still need to do some other finishing touches before the room is complete but it has been a fun transformation. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for such an awesome gift!!!
Kyla loves it!
