What should have only taken a week to tweak is finally finished (after a few more weeks & tweaks than first expected!)…
Welcome to my daughter’s pretty in pink on pink on pink bedroom:
Let’s take a closer look at some of the details…
I designed Eliana’s nightstand to also be used as a vanity. The mirror was a $6 find from Family Dollar that I spray painted silver. I spruced up the lamp & displayed some of Elie’s finest jewelry on the necklace stand. The shelf below holds some of her favorite princess books as well as a jewelry box & hatbox full of the rest of her jewelry collection!
I added some trim and a bow to the mosquito netting to add a little more glamour to it. My husband built the headboard (more on that in another post…) and I made lots of pillows to accompany the bedding. I found it a couple of years ago on Overstock.
The other side of the bed houses some favorite bedtime stories & a chair for reading. I recently changed the artwork, which is printed from Graphics Fairy and transformed some unused artwork into a chalkboard.
My mom made both the pink gingham curtains & the white panels. The panels were made from a twin flat sheet.
Here is the other side of the room.
Elie has had many tea parties at her Raggedy Ann & Andy table. The table was a perfect fit for the room as it has scalloping under the top (which mimics the walls & curtains) and pink painted gingham on the table & chair tops (the curtains, pillows, & bedskirt are also pink gingham). It came from Toys R’ Us a few years ago.
We recently added the shelf & accessories. The frog prince is one of my favorite accessories in the room. I found it for 50% off at Hobby Lobby. I might have paid $5 for it!
The dresser recently got new knobs and accessories. You can read about the lamp here.
I also love this cute princess piggy bank, which I got for 50% off at Hobby Lobby. I recently painted the paper mache boxes, added pink & white polka dotted ribbon as trim, & tied them with a pink bow.
Here’s another angle in the room. You can see the paper doll art, dollhouse, & ribbon stool that I posted about. I love her pretty ballet costume hanging on the wall & can't wait for her June recital!
To create the scallop border, I cut the shape out of cardboard & traced it around the room. Then I painted around it. When my husband came home his first response was, “Looks like a pink ocean!”. Since that was NOT the look I was going for, I decided to add some jewels (with sticky tack) to give it more of a “crown” look!
Here's one more peek before you go!
