Re: Kids Bedroom Extension

Hello @thecounselsreno 

 

What a gorgeous extension! It’s so thoughtfully designed and radiates warmth, personality, and comfort. The twin beds, floral accents (that wallpaper really stands out), and soft pastel palette create such a dreamy, shared space for your girls to grow, rest, and make beautiful memories together.

 

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.

 

Eric
