Need Help with Decorating my toddlers bedroom... cat theme?
Hi everyone. My 2 year old absolutely adores kitty cats and since she is turning 2 and will be out of her crib soon, I thought that I should redo her room in a cat theme. I absolutely adore Rachael Hale but the only bedding I have found is over seas. I do not like Hello Kitty, but would rather have the theme be "real" kittens and light pink. Does anyone have any idea's for me? Please provide any websites. Thanks!!!

Thanks everyone so far! My mother is really talented when it comes to sewing and I have been trying to look for fabric as well, as she could make pillows, blankets, sheets, pillowcases, ect.
What a wonderful age, Two is so special. I sew so its easy for me to see all the possibilities. You haven't said if you can make your own or if everything has to be store bought.
I haven't been in the shopping market lately for bedding so I can't really tell you much there.
But, with some imagination, you can design and create your daughters bedroom to be a one of a kind. Go to your different cloth stores and see if there is any material that you like, if the material is too busy, use it in trim work or accent material. My daughter passed away at seventeen, but, she went through a phase of Kitty Cats too, and horses. I took material with cats on it and lined them with tulle material,for her bed skirt, the top was a solid that I appliqued a large Kitten in the center with little ones around the edges of her Pillow shams. Each one had a name, So when we would have our conversations, I had a hardcover book that I wrote the names and her stories down. I had planned to give them to her later as a special gift. If you don't sew, you could talk to someone who may be able to assist you, or you can buy adhesive material that you iron between your fabrics. I have also taken large picture coloring books and made several copies for patterns. Go window shopping and see whats available. If you need more help let me know, I'll be glad to do what I can. While your planning her room, you may be interested in making her a cedar chest with special dresses and costumes. I took pictures and today, its what keeps all those special moments close at heart. We had special tea parties where English could dress up like a princess and have tea and crumpets and special desserts and finger foods. This is where we learned table manners by having Tea together. Your so very lucky, enjoy every moment you have. Being a Mother is the greatest reward a woman can have. She molds her childrens life.
Okay when i was little i had a cat themed room! my mom painted the walls yellow but you could use pink. She also found a kitten boarder to go around the top of the room(top of the wall) Then she had framed pictures of kittens on the walls. Stuffed animals and i had normal bedspread but had a kitten blanket and pillow. You may not be able to find kitten curtains and stuff but improvise and be Creative. My mom had a regular blanket and put cat iron on patches on it. And im sure if you "make" a blanket like that your two year old won't mind.
