INSIDE: SEE HOW A PLAIN LITTLE GIRL BEDROOM GETS A MAKEOVER. TIME FOR THE GIRL TO GROW….SEE HOW WE TRANSFORM THE ROOM INTO A TWEEN GIRL BEDROOM!

It’s time to give the space we sleep in some love!

Bedrooms….I’m only going to focus on the 3 that I control. There is one that is home to a teenage boy – he’s on his own. The other – my mother in law. I don’t know anything about that room right now. So…..master and 2 little girls rooms.

I recently cleaned one room in this post!!!!!! But she wanted some color. I’ve mentioned before that we didn’t paint any walls for the first year and gosh, probably didn’t hang a picture for like 4 months. We were a little overwhelmed when we moved in almost 5 years ago now. But now that the downstairs is pretty much done, we can move on.

This kid inherited some bedroom furniture when her grandmother moved in with us. It hasn’t held up very well. It may or may not have something to do with jumping on beds….heavy dogs bouncing around🤷🏻‍♀️. Anyway, we decided that she needed some new furniture. My husband got a great deal on a bed with head board and foot board, 5 drawer dresser, and 2 night stands.

I let her pick out the color, with a few rules….

This is your room forever – I am not painting it every other year so pick a color you can live with.
No characters. You will grow out of them.
More than one color. You will not have everything pink!!!

With that, she picked a color and we went to Sherwin Williams. Let me tell you why I don’t mind spending a little more money on paint. Primer and paint in one?!? Yes please!!! Finish as promised?!? Yes. No satin instead of eggshell blah blah.

You tell them ‘I’m painting my kids room’ they suggest a paint that wipes easy but durable to scratches and it goes on easy. Bonus is that it is around the corner from my house, I don’t even get on a main road. AND they always offer 30% off. Plus sign up for their ‘club’ and get random $10 off coupons.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do was rearrange my bedroom. Think of different layouts and then figure out how to make it happen without breaking anything. I was good at it too!!!! So naturally, when redoing this kiddo’s room, I wanted to rearrange stuff. Since she was getting new furniture it made complete sense. I asked her what she wanted and then we discussed it while we were painting.

She wanted to change her bed to a different wall, move her desk (we also changed the color… on accident, but since she had written all over the previous pink – I said she could continue….we will think of something later to make it not so matchy matchy), and since the dresser was new, she wanted to move the old ones out (she had 2 small ones before).

Since we need to organize this space too, we went through her desk….threw away old candles, unused bags were given away, broken things finally tossed out!

As soon as you walk in her room, this area is to the left. The white storage shelf holds her books, Nintendo Wii, Legos, and her TV sits on top of it. In the fabric cubes, she has her art supplies and random Legos.

We moved the bed from in between the windows to the wall across from the door. We put a string of clear Christmas lights through the headboard for effect (and as she’s falling asleep).

She just got a new bedspread but it was “uninspiring”….according to her! She spotted this one in Target and went right for it…..she even tried bargaining to be able to get it. Even the bear pillow matched perfectly….cause she needs something else to go on her bed…..
