After weeks and weeks of work... we are even closer to our goal of being finished in Em's Room. She is my little bookworm (hmm wonder where she gets that from?)
One of her favorite series is the Harry Potter series. She REALLY wanted (please mom ... please please please) a Hufflepuff inspired room. If you have never read the books, watched the movies or paid much attention (cough cough ..me) then this would leave you as confused as I was!
I looked around and researched and discovered Hufflepuff is a house (kind of like a dormitory) @ Hogwarts... and their colors are yellow and black.. say what??? Not colors I am used to working with! I desired to make her room hers while keeping myself sane and our rooms peaceful!

I found this room over @ Classy Clutter... and while our room will be entirely different... she did inspire me with the use of colors!!
The beds have been painted and made to look old old old! Everything in the "HP World" is antique and hodgepodge!
Pillows have been sewn, Curtains ordered and ready to be hung, and the rest of the furniture painted
Lighting has been chosen.. and we went with electrical lamps instead of candles... gotta still be the safety queen... wouldn't want to lose my reputation ;) You cannot forget the coat of arms to show your House spirit!
No room at Hogwarts would be complete without owls or howlers! I'm giving you a peek of the owls now and the homemade howlers will be featured in the Room Reveal!
