A Dreamy Retreat: How One Mother Designed a Safe Haven for Her Daughter
A child’s bedroom is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a space where they can feel secure, inspired, and completely at home. For Jenna Best (@life_at_the_lodge), designing a special room for her six-year-old daughter, Myla, was about more than aesthetics; it was about creating a comforting retreat during a challenging time. Following Myla’s recent diagnosis with a rare form of diabetes, Jenna wanted to craft a space that offered warmth, magic, and a sense of peace.
That’s when she discovered the Amongst The Magic mural—an exquisite, hand-illustrated design by Australian artist Tahnee Kelland. With its soft pink and golden hues, the mural became the perfect centerpiece for Myla’s room, transforming it into a serene and enchanting sanctuary. Read on to see how Jenna made this vision a reality and why this mural is an ideal choice for any child’s bedroom makeover.
The Power of Thoughtful Room Design
A well-designed space can have a profound impact on a child’s well-being. Here’s why Jenna’s intentional approach made all the difference:
A Sense of Security – With Myla adjusting to new health challenges, having a stable and soothing environment was essential. Thoughtful design choices helped create a peaceful space for her.
Timeless Appeal – Jenna wanted a design that would grow with Myla, avoiding overly trendy themes while ensuring lasting charm.
Personal Connection – As a lover of horses, koalas, and all things Australia, Myla’s room subtly reflects her passions in an elegant, understated way.

Finding the perfect wall treatment was key to bringing Myla’s dream room to life. After an extensive search, Jenna fell in love with Urbanwalls’ Amongst The Magic mural. Here’s why it stood out:
Ethereal, Dreamy Aesthetic – The pink and gold hues create a soft, inviting atmosphere, making the north-facing room feel warm and cozy.
Pairs Beautifully with Limewash Paint – Jenna complemented the mural with Kalklitir’s Alizes blush pink limewash paint, achieving a rich, layered effect.

Handmade Curtains – Jenna’s mom created custom neutral blush linen curtains for a personalized touch.
Minimalist Storage Solutions – Sleek oak storage keeps the room clutter-free while ensuring Myla has easy access to her essentials.
These thoughtful elements ensured the space remained both functional and magical.
