Cat room ideas??? This is actually more like a 2 part questions..please read on...?

Question

I am wanting to re-do my daughters room with a cat theme due to the fact that she wants all our cats in her room (that's where they are anyway) Her room is pink and I was thinking about painting picture frames brown to match the brown in 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 wants to turn her closet into a "Kitty Castle" We have been thinkng of ways too make toys and sitting perches for the cats but seeing as I'm not a crafty person any ideas would be great. I will also ask this part in the cats section. Also, before anyone says anything about 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 help!

Answer 1

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 only 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 cans are cans that customers were unsatisfied with.

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

Answer 2

My friend has 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 levels so the cats can access all levels of the room. They used a small, old ladder so they didn't have to put shelves EVERYWHERE.

If you have dye pads for stamps, you can stamp the kitty paws on the wall under each of their pictures or anywhere and everywhere. Lamp shades are open for kitty paws, too!

I am SOO jealous!! That sounds super CUTE!  You could even dedicate 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 with 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!

This is a really interesting idea!  I think it would be neat to make the room not only kitty-themed, but a kitty haven!  For the closet you can cut pieces of plywood into different shapes, like corner pieces of different sizes and ramps.  You can cut circles in some of them for them to jump right through.  After you get them all cut, simply cover them in scraps of carpet (like you would when upholstering a stool or something, just staple it tight on the back).  You can get carpets that match the pink and brown in her room.

As far as toys go, you know the deal.  Anything that dangles, wiggles, or hangs 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 in a place that will make them scratch things up while playing.

One thing I've noticed about cats is they love textural differences.  My cat loves lying on paper, 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 in your daughter's room with some kind of wallpaper that matches her theme.  http://www.cupcakeaccessories.com/images...   That style is always popular nowadays.  You could cover her headboard with it, and the surface of her nightstands and desk.
