Description
As we moved house recently I had to re-create the nursery BUT she is not a baby anymore so using her existing furniture and some of my favorite nursery items(in turquoise) I made her a whole new room, in her favoirte colour PINK. I bought her new pictures appropriate for her age and displayed them in this modern sort of way above her now converted toddler bed. She has quite a few hand made items like her quilt and dolls. She also has a play room so this space is reserved for sleeping and her very favorite toys, books and keepsakes.
Design Inspiration
Turquoise is my favorite colour but pink is my daughters so I mixed the two, pleasing us both. I love hand made things, little birds, rabbits and cherry blossoms so I added those. The little asian girl prints were greeting cards I planned to frame for the master bedroom but they went so perfectly in here that she got them instead. Everything was done on a budget.
Decorating Style
Modern beachy for my home but her room is a mixture of tradional and modern plus it's very girlie.
Project Details
Re-purpose things with paint and covers. Re-use to keep things fresh move things about. I used cheap and cheerful Ikea furniture and mix it with things like the expensive dolls pram.
Favorite Items
The whole space is so pleasant but the handmade quilt is so cheery.

We live in Australia but the walls colour is by taubmans, the bird cage is from BEd and bath and the quilt fabric is from Spotlight and hand made by my aunt.

I also love aqua and pink together, aqua and red is also great. The pink in the walls is perfect. What name and brand is it? I love the bird cage, where did you get it?
