Refreshing The Girl's room

  Want to take a peek?
Before: yellow walls, mismatched linens, LOTS of clutter
After: walls painted "Naturally Calm" by Behr - a grey lavender. Bed on "bed elevators" making more storage room underneath, most childhood trinkets and treasures stored, frames painted silver, books stored on shelves so we can get rid of the cheapie bookcase. (yes!)
Before - this curtain is a little too country-fried, if you know what I mean...
 After - pretty sheer curtains from IKEA, lined basket, open space...room to breathe!  


 
 
A childhood favorite gets a place of honor


All that's left to do is re-paint the bulletin board.

Love the embroidered bird. You did a great job on it :)
The room looks very soothing and calm. It will be a nice retreat for your daughter to come home to. Lucky her!
