How Do I Decorate Kids' Rooms Using the Nanny McPhee Movie?

The movie "Nanny McPhee" represents a fairy tale unlike most others, as there are no princesses, dragons or mythical lands. Instead, this fable depicts the Brown family which lives in the English countryside during the 19th century. As the family attempts to save its estate, Nanny McPhee imparts her magical lessons with stern discipline. You can achieve a child's bedroom similar to the home where Nanny McPhee serves by adding a few charming country accents.

Pale pink paint
Dropcloths
Digital prints of animals
Wooden frames
Wooden nightstand
Wooden rocking chair
Floral or plaid bedding

Instructions

- 1
  Paint the bedroom walls a pale pink color, in honor of the Brown family farm. In "Nanny McPhee," pigs fly! So pink is both appropriate to the theme and kid friendly. Before you begin the paint job, remember to move furniture away from the walls and cover carpeting with dropcloths.
- 2
  Print out digital photos of farm animals and place them into wooden frames. Hang these on the wall throughout the bedroom to create a farm feel. You can choose pictures of horses, cows, pigs, chickens or goats.

  Add wood accents, in addition to the photo frames, to emulate those in the Brown family home. You can place a nightstand at the side of the bed, or a wooden rocking chair in a well-lit corner for reading. Distressed wood furniture can be found at thrift stores or garage sales.

  Dress the bed in floral or plaid bedding depending on your child's personal style. You can mix colors and patterns for more variety.
