Cat room philosophy? This is certainly more close to a 2 module question..please read on...? I am wanting to re-do my daughters room with a cat theme...
I am wanting to re-do my daughters room with a cat theme due to the reality that she wants all our cats within her room (that's where they are anyway) Her room is pink and I was thinking something like painting picture frames brown to match the brown contained by her comforter and putting picsof her kitties in them, but from their I'm lost. ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS PLUS NEW ONES ARE NEEDED! Part 2..She desires to turn her closet into a "Kitty Castle" We have been thinkng of ways too put together toys and sitting perches for the cats but seeing as I'm not a crafty person any planning would be great. I will also ask this part in the cats piece. Also, before anyone says anything more or less her clothes smelling like cats, our cats are well groomed and we NEVER smell them.she doesn't really useher closet for anything but toys anyways!! Thanks for the assistance!
My friend have a "cat/dog room" that has a kitty door the cats use to enter and exit the house. They used shelves bought at a home decor place and lined them up at different level so the cats can access all levels of the room. They used a small, frail ladder so they didn't have to put shelves EVERYWHERE.
If you hold dye pads for stamps, you can stamp the kitty paws on the wall below each of their pictures or anywhere and everywhere. Lamp shades are open for kitty paw, too!
I am SOO jealous!! That sounds super CUTE! You could even allot one of the walls to the cats, and call that the "Kitty Castle." You could do that by either purchasing those cat climbing towers (ya know what I mean) Or by constructing some out of wood, and covering them next to pink/brown carpet. Make little tunnels that they can crawl through. Also pint paw prints on the other walls leading to the "Kitty Castle" wall. Oh I can already picture it!!
Best of Luck to you!
Answers: This is a really interesting idea! I think it would be natty to make the room not only kitty-themed, but a kitty haven! For the closet you can cut pieces of plywood into different shapes, close to corner pieces of different sizes and ramps. You can cut circles in some of them for them to hop right through. After you get them all cut, simply cover them contained by scraps of carpet (like you would when upholstering a stool or something, in recent times staple it tight on the back). You can get carpets that game the pink and brown in her room.
As far as toys go, you know the business deal. Anything that dangles, wiggles, or hang would attract a cat's attention. You can attach feathers on string to doorknobs and off the sides of furniture. Just make sure you don't put it within a place that will make them scratch things up while playing.
One piece I've noticed about cats is they love textural differences. My cat loves lying in print, if I leave it out. And when she's hot she likes to sit on the linoleum floor. You can cover some of the surfaces surrounded by your daughter's room with some kind of wallpaper that match her theme. http://www.cupcakeaccessories.com/images... That style is always popular at the moment. You could cover her headboard with it, and the surface of her nightstands and desk.
I would put cat "art" inbetween the photos
And instead of brown frames, pink frames. Several separate pinks so it doesn't look old, which can happen if you solely use 1 pink. .buy the pinks from a craft store to save money; or look for "mistake cans of paint" from a hardware store which are resold at a big discount. mistake can are cans that customers were unsatisfied beside.
Example of cat art:

You can find cat cards in the birthday card aisle at CVS
Frame the art (cards) too
And make the frames pink
