A Girl's Room

 

As soon as we go and buy our princess a mattress, I will begin the decorating process in her room.
I already have a few things. We did buy her a bed. It is fabulously shabby pink. Not what I had in mind but couldn't resist when I saw it and the price. We actually bought a pair of them as they were on craigslist and very affordable and we didn't know whether or not the new baby was a boy or girl. Obviously we will not be needing the second but I have contemplated using it as a guest bed for when she has friends over.However, her room is very small so I will have to see how much room is in there once we actually get the bed set up.

I also have some really adorable pictures that I have been wanting to hang her wall. Plus a couple of embroidery patterns that I hope to use and frame. I also have her bedding, well, most of it. and I found a couple of tutorials on some pillows I would like to make.

I know what I want in my head but I have trouble actually getting it into real life. So I looked online and got some ideas.


I found this on Country Living. It's beautiful and has the old fashioned/shabby/white look I love.
But our bedrooms don't have wood floors, they have a very light carpet so I am thinking that it may be too white for our house. Plus we don't have the architecture, hers is a simple square room.



This is also from Country Living. I love this room. I really like the wall hangings in the background. And it is similar colors to avril's room. The doll on the bed adds a lot to this room in my mind.


Another white room. With wood floor. What strikes me about this room is the bedding. I love the bedding. Almost exactly what I am envisioning.



A cute, inexpensive wall decoration. Vintage sewing pattern envelopes in frames. Love it.




Love the baskets. And love the simplicity of the shelves.



I am drawn to buntings for some reason. Really like the heart one draped on the bed. Only I am thinking linen and vintage lace instead of gingham. Also like the baskets under the bed idea. Great way to separate and store toys/shoes/etc. And the horse pull toy is something I would love for my boys' room.But that post is for another day. Like two or three years from now!




One of the pillows I plan on making.

The other is an embroidered one. I can't get a picture.

I also want to embroider a canvas with a Scripture on it to hang on the wall.
Sort of like this one: http://jonesdesigncompany.com/create/embroidered-wallhanging-tutorial/

I also really like the idea of putting an armoir in her room for more storage.
Sort of like one of these:




That's all I have time for right now. I have a few other ideas but I am not sure what will work and what won't. I will be sure to post before and after pictures whatever I decide to do.
