Daughters Like Different Things? There’s A Split Room Design For That!

At the risk of sounding un-nerdy, I would’ve loved that nature side of the room as a kid. although the lamp on the superman side is pretty cool too. Amazing work!

this is so much better than the “tape down the middle of the floor” trick my sister and I had to do. :(

Orange-cape-wearing cat!!!

I love this room. For myself. Both sides. Those flower lights in the grass?! And did I mention the cat with Superman? :)

My sister and I, for the brief years we shared a room, had bunk beds. This never would’ve worked!

So. Much. Love. I had sibling friends growing up who WEREN’T twins, and for some reason their mother dressed them the same, tried to make them look the same, bought them the same stuff, etc., anyway, just because they were both girls (they were like three years apart in age, too). They rebelled BIG TIME when they got older–you should see them as adults. Love that these twins are being allowed to be individuals first! :)  

Bless that sweet, supportive father

I want those flowersi n my room! I <3 IKEA

I LOVE that rug! Do want.

the cat is the tipoff its also the girls side of the room.  But shouldn’t it be Supergirl instead of superman as a relatable role model for girls ;)
 

Not if the kid prefers Superman, it shouldn’t be. Just because a character is female doesn’t automatically make her relatable to females. (Personally, I hate Supergirl. She’s just… ugh.)

 so this punches a hole into the notion that toys have to represent the child.  No Barbies that are African American or any issues with them having unrealistic proportions ;)

There is no girls side, they are twins, i.e. both girls. Also, how is a cat a tipoff to a girl?

Giant bugs, or Kandorian Superman?

 having a totally unrelated cat to superman is something a girl would have right next to him.  A boy if its an animal it would be Krypto the Superdog.  When i was a kid watching superfriends virtually every boy growing up knew the wacky non justice league characters were lame but girls had no problems with them.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Friends_(1973_TV_series) 

Or you could just be making gross generalizations about gender. Either or.

I now want to get a superman poster just to put an unrelated cat next to it.

Aw they just get younger and younger I didn’t show an interest in comics till I was thirteen yet my niece Avery whose almost seven loves wonder woman

rare exceptions to the rule dont change the fact that boys never uttered the words ” i love the wonder twins”
But that’s something i heard the rare times when a girl liked watching the superfriends. 

 hmmmm Sylvester and son would be a good choice for a boys room.

This. A thousand times this. I have an unending quest to find nerdy underwear and when I DO it’s always supergirl. Never batman, never aquaman, never the flash. I don’t really like Supergirl (or superman, for that matter) but I’ll take what I can get, and the options are paltry.

Just like boys never utter the words ” I love My Little Ponys” right?

My kid is reading her Young Justice comic books in her Cinderella dress. She loved that room. 

And this speaks to the gross generalization of gender – she said she’d put a pile of poop next to Superman. Because poop is funny, and Superman could clean it up with his laser eyes. Okay, I said that, but only because she thinks poop and farting are spectacularly hilarious. What she did say is that she’d want a poster of Robin as Robin and her as Batman and also her as Supergirl. In the same picture. 

Kids are pretty much awesome at deciding what they like, given half a chance.

Superman is a full-fledged character in his own right. Barbie is a blank upon which to project. Being fine with a girl loving the character of Superman is not the same as offering a girl a doll that looks like her to project her playtime dreams on, instead of a doll that reinforces the notion that whiter = better.

This is pretty amazing!

I was just discussing with my friend on how I planned to keep my twins in the same room together, boy/girl, and allow them to decorate to their likes. I had the same idea in my head and thank you for allowing to see my idea done in such a great way.  

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this room, but your headline at the top of the page there is wrong. It’s not Superman and Princess, it’s Superman and Nature! Don’t give in to the girly=princess culture, Mary Sue! 

That makes no damn sense as this is a little girl now – she wouldn’t know about the superfriends. In the recent comics Krypto belongs to Superboy so she wouldn’t be likely to associate the two. 

The cat is the little girl’s stuffed animal. You can clearly see her hugging it in the picture where she’s laying on the Superman painting.

These girls are so lucky to have such an awesome Dad.  ^^

 I think you misunderstood what i said.  A boy would have krypto because it goes with superman.  A girl would have no problem taking something that was totally unrelated to superman and have it right next to him like this cat.

 About the Pony…when i was 5 or 6, i went on a pony ride and enjoyed it.  when i was like 7 or 8 just like 99% of all boys i was no longer interested in pony rides or ponys.  However i do like this pony from robot chicken ;)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIY41LrvMFQ 

That is too cool. ^^ It’s also proof that identical twins can be complete opposites.
I think I’m most jealous of that Toy Story comforter. <3

Have you checked BunnyJump on Etsy? She makes custum nerdy underwear.

 You’ll notice that the cat is the same as her stuffed cat, that’s probably the reason for a “unrelated” cat
