Anabelle has been asking for a new room for a while, so I suggested we redo as her birthday present! She's been watching Trading Spaces for Boys & Girls lately, so she really liked the idea of a big reveal on her birthday. I did have to remind her that her room probably wasn't going to be like the ones on the show...you know...ice skaing rinks, revolving doors, climbing walls, etc!
I moved her out of her room for a week and a half & asked her to sleep in the guest room. I decided to leave the walls light pink to save time & money and I started by painting big graphic hot pink flowers to spice it up a bit. I was doing this on a budget, so I had to be frugal. I also got her new curtains, new bedding, a fuzzy rug, and gave new life to a few things I found at Goodwill. Reuse...right!!! I also made some hanging paper bag flowers that I found on Martha Stewart's website. They turned out pretty cute & added a lot of color to the room. I also got rid of the little girl daybed & replaced it with a new headboard I found at The Market Place for $25. I spray painted it white and also painted some pink polka dots. Lastly, I recovered her chair in a polka dot fabric that matched the colors in the room & used the same fabric on her bulletin board.
