Wow! Amazing colors, very inspiring not to be afraid of saturated hues.

The tree is so cool! Really neat cartoony-goth style, so fresh.

This room is amazing! I would love to create something like this for my daughters!

Any tips on the lanterns on the walls (they don't look like decals)? How would a non-painter go about learning how to paint them?

Thank you all for you wonderful comments about Avery's room! Sorry for the delayed response to your questions, I actually had baby #2 this past weekend. So as you know things are not normal for me yet.

Questions:
1. The bed is from Pottery Barn Kids; Kendall w/ Trundle
2. Pillowcases are from Kukunest, thanks for answering that one MissyW. They are great quality!
3. The lanterns are not decals. Unfortunately I would not be best to offer advise on recreating them other then hiring my muralist, lol! But you may want to consider using real lanterns, I really wanted to hang some but since we live in FL a ceiling fan is essential so the lanterns would not work.
4. The dressers is from Ikea Hemnes collection, I love the quality of it. So much so I bought the 8 drawer version for my baby's room.

Thanks again for the comments and the votes!
