Girls Room Progress III

I "completed" the most crucial part of my daughter's room make-over yesterday. 

Her bed.

Ok, so I plan on changing all her bedding, but as I always mention, I wait for perfect deals and finds and piece rooms together over time.

How fun are the fringed lights? They are originally from Pier1 but I traded another dealer at The Flea for them (in exchange for a small chest I painted- the lights were new- in- the- box, so I think it was a win, win deal)

The wicker chair I got for free from a friend. I knew I wanted a chair for reading stories at bed, so this one works for now. I plan on making/buying a seat cushion for it though.

The nightstands I purchased at Good Will and painted with ASCP (paris grey I think)

I'm keeping an eye out for a rug or two for her room as well, but I'm happy with the progress I've made so far.

 

The next area of the room I'll be deputing is her play area. Some days I really miss being a kid.

If you missed the first two parts of the make-over, I showed some windows I re-purposed into racks for storage and wall decor here and her dresser re-do here

Girl's Room Update

Yesterday I got my daughter's room painted and today we have been working away with small projects and switching furniture from room - to - room.

I picked up the large mirror (that someone had altready painted gold) at Good Will for $12.98. I'm still pretty excited about that.  

I also re-purposed the old windows into racks for some fun and functional wall decor. 

I used to make these a lot and sell them, but it's been awhile so I had the windows on hand.

My daughter wasted no time hanging up whatever she could find on the vintage flower hooks. I made sure to hang it at her level.

 

The room is about 60% complete. 

Here's a little preview of what's to come.

Girls Room Ideas

Apparently I don't like to complete one project before moving on to the next, so here is what is going on in my head right now.

Re-doing my daughters room. Not just re-doing it, but switching it out with another room in my house completely.


Here is what I am thinking for the color scheme (and fyi she approves)
Gray and Pink.

She says she wants a princess room.. she's 4, go figure. And since I lean more towards eclectic, modern and bold prints, I'm going to try very hard to not make it what I want.

It can be glamerous and princess like, but more eclectic than the picture above (not sure the source, if anyone knows please share!)


Here's my TO DO list:

~Clear out what is currently the "play room"
~Paint walls light pink
~Find a dresser and paint it
~Hang lights
~Install chandelier
~Buy Rug
~Get some Toy organization
~Find and paint Nightstand (s?)
~Hang Mirror and other wall decor
~Find new play table and chairs
~Get new curtains


I've made a ton of progress on clearing out the play room, and the other day I found (and refinished) a dresser that will work great.

Here it is BEFORE

And AFTER

The drawers are very narrow so I think it would have been a hard sell if it wasn't intended for a child.

I'm happy with how it came out. And it has become a necessity since her current dresser is literally falling apart (it's from when she was born and was purchased from babies r us = not real wood, just served its purpose for the time being.)

The fun thing is, what is currently her bedroom will become my office. So many ideas, so many things I need, so little money to spend.
