Today I wanted to post the photos from my girls room that I finished decorating over the summer. When designing childrens’ rooms I really think about longevity in the design. My girls are 10 and 11 so I wanted to create a space for them that will last for years to come. I don’t like creating themes in a kids rooms rather I like to create a feeling that can grow with them. When designing, I also like to mix custom and store bought pieces, that way I can get the budget to stretch as far as possible without compromising on the beautiful end result. The dresser between their beds is one I purchased for under $500 at an unfinished wood furniture shop. I then grabbed a Sherwin Williams paint bucket and painted it myself and found some cute knobs from World Market to jazz it up. DIY is a great way to save money on a project! My splurge in this room was their light fixture. I believe that lighting is the like jewelry and is a great way to make a statement in any space. My two favorite places to buy drapery hardware are West Elm (the one’s pictured here are from there) and Restoration Hardware. The drapes were made from a fabric I created through one of my watercolor paintings. I love giving a room a one-of-a-kind item that makes it special. In the end, this room will grow with them for years to come. I have included links at the end of this post, so that you too can grab some of these fun pieces!
