Lots of Pink with a Little Green: A Little Girl's Bedroom

   

Today, I'm sharing pictures of my friend Katie's four-year-old daughter's room.  Although she says that it's not quite complete, I insisted that it was "blog-worthy" last time I was at her house.  (Besides, I know you love to see real people's spaces as much as I do!) 



This is how the room started:

Her first purchase was this cute Pottery Barn bedding, but she wanted the room to have a little punch.



And, after 1 1/2 years worth of tweaks and changes:



   



The whole room was done on a pretty tight budget.  The headboards, desk and mirror were all second-hand finds that just needed some fresh paint.  She ordered the pom-pom pillows from Pottery Barn Teen and we had them monogrammed in a clean, simple font.



She stenciled the entire wall behind the beds, using a template she found online.  (You can find a similar one here.)







She put her little girl's first birthday dress on display wrapping the back of an old frame with fabric and painting the frame. The lamps were a HomeGoods purchase (we added the ribbon trim to match the green desk).







Since the room wasn't wired for overhead lighting, she bought a pack of these inexpensive Lilly Pulitzer pom-poms and hung one from the ceiling.











Thanks to Katie and her sweet girl for letting me share her 99% finished space!

  5. So adorable - I love the punch of green. And that stenciling is perfect - that must require a lot of time and patience but the end result is really great.

  6. What a delightful room! The green desk is super cheery, and the lampshade trim winks to it perfectly. The framed photos of multi-generations are lovely additions, as well. Bravo!

  7. I had a mirror over my desk as a girl growing up too. My desk did double duty...as a dressing table and a work space. The minute that picture came up I could see my old room like it was yesterday...and it was pink. Thanks for sharing a delightful space.

  14. Love everything about this room! The headboard, the bedding, the mirror and the pom poms. And the stenciling Katie did looks fabulous. I love how she put a green desk in between the beds for a pop of unexpected color! This is such a delightful room.
