Bloom where you are planted
The bedroom of 10-month-old Beth-Lilly Thompson of Malmesbury is a cheerful space. Originally inhabited by her older brother Cilliers, the room was decorated with navy-blue and white stripes by paint expert Sharon O’Callaghan. When it became the nursery, mom Lorette and dad Ernest again enlisted Sharon’s help, with a garden theme in mind.
“Not the usual pinks for this little girl!” says Sharon. “We decided to keep the stripes and refresh the room with giant floral motifs. The pretty garden theme is something Beth-Lilly can grow into.” Sharon drew the design with chalk and then ‘coloured it in’ with a paintbrush. Lorette says they absolutely love it: “I don’t think I’ll ever stop revamping my home!”
