Three years ago, my Harry Potter-loving daughter Willow and I decided to turn a wall of her bedroom into Hogwarts. Several bouts of inspiration & hard work later, loads of DIY and some trips to thrift stores, it’s gotten way out of hand: there’s not a single corner of her room that hasn’t been turned into a Harry Potter paradise – without spending tons of money on expensive merchandise.

The mural that started it all
The chest was old, rusty and bright green. It now has a golden Hogwarts crest and my daughter’s name in calligraphy on top.

I’m probably most proud of how his cape turned out. Shading took ages!
A very tiny Hagrid’s house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest
The white dots are glow in the dark lights, so at night, the forest lights up – as do some of the Hogwarts windows.
Study corner

With a small-but-growing collection of Funko Pop!s (one of the few things we’re just buying instead of DIYing) and gorgeous velvet curtains.

Where she sleeps
With a view of Scotland (taken from a Prisoner of Azkaban frame), a painted Gryffindor banner, and books at her disposal at all times.

This is her reading corner under the bed
Cozy pillows, and a fireplace! (And fish. And Dobby.)
Dobby is a freeee elffff
Portrait Gallery
