How to decorate your GIRLY room

In your room you should show your personality. So, if you're a crafty person you could hang up your paintings, drawings, or sketches along your walls and you could splatter paint your walls or use different colors on the wall.You could hang pom-pom balls from your ceiling.http://www.marthastewart.com/265163/pom-poms-and-luminarias-how-to. If you're a sporty person you could have sport fatheads all over your wall and have baseballs, tennis balls, golf balls, etc. hanging off of your ceiling. If you're a musical person you can hang music notes or discs from your ceiling and make your wall into the musical staff. Hope this helps you decorate your room. :)
