Dreaming up a new bedroom for our little girl

COLOURS

C wants a “purple and pink” colour scheme. I do not like purple (it pained me to paint her nightstands purple, although she insisted) so I’m going with lavender and blush with little touches of super-soft aqua and grey. And lots of white, of course!

She has beadboard on the lower half of her room, which we’ll keep white, and the top half will likely be a soft grey so we can have fun with the next step …

FURNITURE

We’re going to build her a massive loft bed (!!!) that has a raised play area, and it will have a large play area underneath (probably structured to look like a little house) for playing Barbies,

We’re also going to paint the hand-me-down wooden dressers a custom-mixed shade of Fusion Mineral Paint (pink!) and add gorgeous white rose hardware from Phillips and Chestnut.

We might also take the desk from D’s room (he’s got his own room makeover in the works, too) and turn it into the “makeup table” she’s been begging for.

LIGHTING

We’re taking out the ceiling fan (not a good idea to have one of those with a loft bed!) and replacing it with this stunning flush-mount light with crystals from Kent. C is obsessed with the fact that she’s getting a new “chan-da-weer” for her bedroom, and I can’t wait to see it installed!

ACCESSORIES

I’ve been dying over this pillow ever since I first pinned in, so I think it’s inspired the whole room without me even realizing it.

I also want to DIY the light switch plates and outlet covers with lots of glitter for a fun touch, and do a new gallery wall in the soft tones of her new palette.

So that’s the plan — I think! It could change if the little miss keeps pinning new things every day. I’ve creating a mini Pinny monster! 😉
