| | | | Beatrix Potter poster prints on Ebay. I |

| | | | that had tiny little |
| "Pooh Bear Yellow" made by Behr paint. We | | | | |
| painted all of the | | | | bees on it. It is so cute. I just sewed a |
| | | | casing at the top for |
| walls yellow. We then painted a white | | | | |
| strip, approximately 12 | | | | the curtain rod and hemmed the bottom and |
| | | | they were done. You |
| inches wide, all of the way around the room | | | | |
| in the center of the | | | | can tie them back with ribbons or knot them |
| | | | in the middle.Last but not least, we found |
