Here is Kimberly’s description of the room.

My “theme” is Twigs-n-Birds. I was inspired by the Asian willow tree print fabric. The colors are brown, olivey tan, ivory and hot pink! The bedding, tie valance, tablecloth and rocking chair pad were all custom made by your’s truly. I purchased the 3 dimensional push pin birds and the vinyl decal clock from Target. The floor rugs are actually bath mats with good gripper backs also purchased from Target.
