So Elwin and I were asked to make over the cabins. We started with the girls’ and boys’ cabins. Guess which one I chose? That’s right – the girls’! GIRL POWER!!!
Okay, I like pink as much as the next girl, but um – HELLO? This is a camp! Camps are made for getting dirty and getting wet and getting back to nature. This cabin belongs in a fairy princess camp! It looks like pink exploded in here! And who the heck puts WALLPAPER in a cabin? I don’t think so. We’re going to need to start from scratch to create a space that brings in the natural surroundings yet still has a feminine touch. Have I got my work cut out for me!
First things first – and that meant stripping off that wallpaper to reveal the natural beauty of the log cabin underneath. I think order is important when there’s a large group sharing a room so I decided to line up the bed in two neat rows (Elwin doesn’t necessarily agree with this choice, but – whatever, dude. He can decorate HIS cabin his way. This baby is mine!) I just love these supersoft Plush Pillows Beds – they recreate the look of a puffy sleeping bag and the colors are soft without being too girly. Some woodsy accents pick up the natural tones of the log cabin walls and the Ship Wheel Side Tables are a nautical nod to the nearby lake. And just so they won’t be completely distraught at the lack of pink, I threw a comfy, rosy Lush Lounge Chair into a reading nook in the corner.
I sure hope the girls won’t miss their pink palace – I think this soft, woody, understated cabin is much more appropriate.
Phew. That was a relief. I thought the pink room was the job of Haley. The 2nd room is waaaay better.
I love it! Makes me want to go camping again!
How do you get the wallpaper?
I think the wallpaper and floor are from either the Magical Forest or Trading Cards. I think it is the barn theme. I like it a lot.
No, wait a minute. That is not the barn theme. Nevermind. Maybe it is the estore cabin theme. Sorry.
I personally like the boys cabin makeover better and i am a girl. I just think the wallpaper in the new room isn’t summer campish and doesn’t go with the country windows and no so maybe bright colors and i don’t like the beds. But nice try :)
I do not like either rooms. The first one didn’t seem like a cabin at all. I do not think the wardrobe or the wallpaper went with it. I think the second one is better, but the reading nook seems like it was just stuck there. It doesn’t go at all. I think the beds should be facing each other, I also think the beds could be laid out more efficiently to make more space for a games nook, like one of you said. No offense to the people that like it, but I do not think Hailey did a very good job.
the beds in the second ugh! in the first too much pink!!!

I totally agree i think both of them could be better
i thought it was a girl cabin and a boys cabin. I don’t like the beds in the after picture, but they DO remind me of sleeping bags.
WOW! that looks awesome i really love the girls it’s perfectly pink!
I think that the second one is way more cabin like but the first one definitely looks super awesome so i will say i like the second one better. But the first is more fun :)
I really don’t like pink, so the second is a lot better, but in terms of beds, I would have used something diffrent
