the girls room...a year in the making....



the before: please excuse the picture quality..cause....it sucks.






so it's pink and red...
and i didn't want to do a total overhaul...so i decided to keep the pink and swatch out the red for the gray...

that way i didn't have to get new bed linens..or rug..



so I painted it gray...

and gave everything a new coat of paint...

  3. The update looks awesome, it looks more calm, and it isn't a major undertaking, so very doable for many. I love the painted headboard. Might have to steal that one, my oldest broke her's trying to climb it.

  12. Gorgeous! You did all the right things to make the room look so much larger than it is. The painted on headboard on Kameron's bed, the polka dot wall, it's all very dimensional and well-done!

  14. I saw your first posts with the polka dot wall and fell in lovey dovey with it.
    We just moved into a new house and it's perfect for my daughter's room.
    I'm halfway through, (doing multi colored dots) and I wanted to thank you for sharing this great room transformation with everyone. It completely inspired me and I think you rock. :)

  15. I love that the gray is so universal of a color that it'll work perfectly as they get older. You can swap out the pink for purple or blue or green or whatever color they fancy.

    Now are you available to come here and help me design one room for 3 boys....did I mention I'm in a rental townhome where I can't paint? ;)
