Lily is, in so many respects a complete tom-boy, she'd much rather be Spider-Man than a Disney princess, that being said she will often be found prancing about in her favourite high heels, and loves taking part in ballet and highland dancing.
When it came to doing up Lily's playroom she was desperate for a superhero themed room and I was eager to keep costs down, keep her playroom clutter free and one that won't need changing all the time as her interests develop.
I found these amazing superhero prints from

@painttherosesredprints and framed them, I love that these superheroes are relatable to Lily and she sees them as pictures of herself. An added bonus of supporting a small business which is really important to us.
We love art and craft activities and when I came across these cute handprint super heroes I couldn't resist.
We bought 4 mini canvasses for 99p from our local Home Bargains and Lily got to work, painting her own hand and making her very own Spider Man. Next we plan to make Iron Man and Captain America. This looks fantastic up in Lily's playroom and add a very personal touch.
One of Lily and my favourite activities is playing and creating with Hama Beads, we had great fun making Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk and of course Spider-Man. We spent many an evening working together on these, before framing them in an Ikea frame.
Lily's lego shaped spider-man is another small shop goody from @yumsugarandspice and is a super piece of décor. Lily uses him as a toy and he is really sturdy and well made but at the same time he makes a fantastic ornament. Lily plans to purchase the whole superhero collection and is waiting patiently for her Grumpa to put up some shelves to display them all.

For the larger furniture items in Lily's playroom we used various second hand items including Ikea drawers which were mine when I was a little girl (talk about getting the use out of them) I found that buying second hand works really well when doing up a room on a budget. When Lily asked for a dolls house for Christmas I wasn't sure it was worth the £100 (or so) for the one she really wanted (she already has a dolls house that doesn't really get a look in) so I began to research and found one for a quarter of the price on Gumtree It was a huge hit! It was immaculate is one of Lily's most played with toys, especially when she has friends over to play.

These have been really sturdy and a great piece of furniture that has well and truly withstood the test of four year old inflicted play, we use Lily's table for all our messy activities and it is still immaculate and easily wiped down after use.
While doing up Lily's playroom I came across this Moon chair in Aldi for £12.99 which fitted in perfectly with Lily's superhero idea, it is something that she will probably grow out of relatively quickly but at the moment it is a firm favourite, perfect for chilling out on!
