INSIDE: A DREAM BEDROOM FOR A SCHOOL AGED GIRL…MAKEOVER STYLE!
Since the middle child got a room makeover, of course the youngest wanted one too. Well, I’m old and my body aches more than it used to…..but I’m on a mission. Next girl bedroom makeover here we come!
Same rules apply….pick a color, no characters, and off we went.
These kids LOVE bright colors. Yikes!!!! Everything else in the house is gray….some form of gray. And here are these 2 – like the Easter Bunny spat all over them. I’ll have to look up what that means…..
This kid wasn’t getting new furniture because she got a new bed about 2 years ago when she became a big girl and didn’t need a toddler bed anymore. Really I think it was almost 3 years ago….I don’t know. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with her furniture.
But the room was a frickin mess!!!! Normally she keeps it pretty tidy but it was packed full of crap! I am going to blame this on new Christmas toys.
Current situation
PURGE
Our first chore was to remove what we didn’t have room for.
We moved the rocking chair into our room and started to remove toys, books, and dirty laundry.
1 trash bag of garbage and 1 of give away clothes.
PAINT
Trusty Sherwin Williams.
And the 2 bookshelves she had in her room got a makeover too….I’m kicking myself because I didn’t take before pics for you. Oh well…..trust me when I say they are different now. She picked an interesting color to go on these.
Reconfigure
We moved dressers, the TV, the bed, and some toys. What a difference just moving the furniture and adding some paint did for this school aged girl bedroom makeover!
Reorganize
As we were putting our NON-purged items back, we neatly placed them in their new homes. I wish I could convince this kid to put things back like this EVERY time she plays with them, but I’m a realist! We’ll be cleaning this room again in less than 6 months.
In the meantime, we will add some wall art to this room and love how grown up she is becoming.
Here is what we have now:
And her bookshelves took 2 coats but I love the finished product.
Now she can sleep in ever loving peace. And me too!
Before and Afters:
She is soooo excited after her school aged girl bedroom makeover, she spends all her free time in there.
Have you done a bedroom makeover? Did your kids pick bright paint too? Please tell me it isn’t just my kids!
Happy Decorating,
