How perfect is this Rug for a little Girls Room.....Ikea.... of course... for a mere $39.99 Purchased for Miss B awhile back for her NYC Bedroom.... with space at a premium.... and a minimum... it was a bit overwhelmed in this bedroom of a typical 6 year old... So with Grandma in town for the week.. We decided it was time to Re-Decorate! "Translation" she has too much crap and it was time for a Major Overhaul.... Major is an understatement....

Over those 9 freakin speed bumps... (embellished for effect there are only 6) The only thing that keeps me sane is looking at those beautifu...
