Emma's/Luke's Room

I know when you look at these pictures your going to say that looks more like a girls room than a boys room and I agree with you 100%. All I can say is, it's REALLY hard decorating a room for a boy and a girl!! Anyways I hope you all like what I have done to there room.





I have a really CUTE vintage Robot picture that I will post later for part of  Luke's room :)
