White, Soft and Ruffle-ey...a little girl's bedroom

Those 3 words are how

my 7 year old used to describe

the way she would like her

new room decorated...

White

Soft

& 

Ruffle-ey

so here it is.....

 I apologize for the long post

This is a picture of before in case you missed it

And this is the new room..... 

Two very different styles don't you think

We started with this beautiful bed that I found

at a thrift store.  My thought was to paint it

white, but my little client was insistent that

we leave it the wood color...REALLY??

But I did what she asked

The duvet and shams are from

Simply Shabby Chic at Target

The rug, window curtains and

 throw on the bed are all from Ikea

And our big splurge...the one that got me into

a little trouble with sweet husband is the

bed skirt from Pottery Barn Kids...curse them

for having such cute stuff that I sometimes just can't resist.

This is the other side of her room...the reading area.

All her books are in the hutch from Bella Cottage

(remember I had bought this from a

 friend and it was in my living room)

The chair we slip covered and I just found a great

ottoman that I still need to make a slipcover for.

The butterfly mobile is also from Pottery Barn Kids...

and yes I was going to make it myself, but I

became very frustrated when I couldn't find the right

size butterfly punch...so I caved and just bought the thing

We hung an old window gate on the wall and hung

the picture I painted for her on it. 

The trunk/baskets hold the

 two million stuffed animals she has.

One of her other request was that she would

like a large round window hung on her wall...

for two reasons she told me...

#1.  so that she could see her reflection in it when she dances

(oh lord help me survive the teenage years)

and

#2. so she could pretend it was a

secret passage into a pretend world

(someone has been watching The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe way to often)



We've had the windows forever and never could

think of a place to put them.  After we hung

them sweet husband and I wished we had

thought of this ourselves and hung them in
our bedroom and added clock parts to it. 
She better watch out...when/if we move
those windows are gonna be up for grabs.

And last but not least she asked for pink flowers

on her nightstand.

I'm very pleased with the way her room turned out

and I feel certain that all her requirements were met!

White.....check

Soft.....check

Ruffle-ey....check check

Now I just need to distress the sign above her bed....

OH!!! A room is never really finished is it?
