A Funky Bedroom, for a Little Girl with Big Personality!

What once was a generic shared room for our daughters, is now a fun space for our youngest to call her own. When her big sister moved to her own bedroom, we wanted to create a space for our youngest that reflected her fun, spunky, and eclectic personality. The walls got a fresh coat of white paint, and we hand painted the black and white feature wall. We found some amazing pink and turquoise decor and accessories to finish off the space. I had been on the hunt for the perfect curtains for this room, and just couldn’t find what I was looking for. Until a quick Ikea trip, were I spotted a duvet cover that I fell in love with! I refashioned it into curtains, and they are perfect for the space! Not too busy, but just busy enough to add that pop of colour and fun to the room.
 

A Whole New Pink and Coral Bedroom

After moving from our much beloved nursery/toddler bedroom, I wanted to keep some things similar but also try a few new things. I needed new bedding as I moved her to a twin bed.  I had found the pink and coral bedding at the Pottery Barn outlet, and based the wall color off the pink in the fabric.  The room got all new trim, doors, carpet, and paint.  It was not a huge room, so I knew I wanted a light and bright color.  The headboard, was actually my first king headboard from Ballard Designs, I made a slip cover and turned the bed as a day bed.  It leaves more room, and a perfect reuse!  I kept her TeePee and Kitchen.  Took out more of the blue accents from her nursery and added more shades.  She loves to read, so I installed 2 Ikea shelves and made the perfect library in her hallway.

A 3 year old’s new room; a DIY family affair and labor of love

This is my daughter’s room in our new home in Charlotte, NC where we recently moved from a much smaller space in Brooklyn.  This move was a big transition for my daughter, so it was very important that it feel familiar and cozy, yet exciting and girly at the same time. Many, if not most, of the design elements in the room, including the drapery, artwork, and chest of drawers, were either handmade or painted by myself or a family member. It is truly a room made from love, with personal touches that could not have been found in any store.
