It started when cosleeping with me was no longer working and sharing a room with her sister was not an option. So, we took a small guest room with a queen sized bed and turned it into a room for a three year old girl. We kept the queen sized bed so we could still have guests come over and I could still cosleep if necessary. Thus, the bedspread was a big part of the room, being on such a big bed in a small room. I found this Pottery Barn Kids Quilt, called Betsy's Dolls, on deep discount, and we were off! I could not find affordable Pottery Barn Kids bedding so I searched Ebay and found some white sheets with lavendar trim, new but very cheap. After that, lavender became our complimentary color. So, since yellow compliments it perfectly, the walls are pale yellow. I was lucky to find a cheap twin sheet set on Ebay of the same PBK lavender gingham and turned that into curtains and a bed skirt.
Isn't it adorable, with the dolls?
I could not find shams so I had these custom made on Etsy by Cute as a Button Designs.
She is great to work with and made adorable shams.
I found a picture of some wooden flowers on a child's bedroom wall and got Zzbob, on Etsy, to make these for me. They cut them from MDF, per my measurements and design, and I painted them myself. They are attached to the wall with this genius product by 3M Command. They make a whole line of products that are not supposed to wreck your walls. These are attached with velcro that sticks to each side. Genius!
I think I did a good job! :)
What a beautiful, sweet, sweet room! My 3yo still cosleep with me, how I wish I could move her to sleep with her sister. Perhaps I should do this too, convert the guest room just for her...Love the dolls and sweet colors Kathy, great job!
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with her room, how it co-ordinates, and especially the wooden flowers. My 3 yr old is sharing with her 5 year brother, so I'm looking forward to doing up a room for her soon.
