"Green" Room - Girls Whimsical Mermaid Bedroom

Sabrina Soto, host of HGTV's Get it Sold, created this darling mermaid/ocean themed citrus-infused girls room for a green home.
" The whimsical theme extends to the twin daybed, custom-crafted from reclaimed wood by carpenter David Brown and padded and upholstered in striped “Azalea” outdoor fabric. The room’s finishing touches are its best green stories. An ABC chair rail that runs the perimeter of the room features pegs crafted from reclaimed curtain rods. I was running out of time and scrambling to find the perfect wall art. I found this shop close to the HGTV Green Home that sold shells from farm-raised conch. I went with this whole ocean-mermaid theme and made the plaques out of wood scraps from the hardware store," says Soto.



This is my favorite idea from the whole room - custom made ABC chair rail that goes around the perimeter of the room. Pegs were fashioned out of discarded curtain rods.
