I am not one to reinvent the wheel every year when it comes to my Christmas decorations. While it may seem boring to some, I just don’t feel like spending that kind of money. Our ornaments are 90% repeats that I enjoy pulling out every single year. It seems I can’t get enough of a…

back patio re-do
There was this time a year and a half ago when I thought our back patio was finished. Â You can see the reveal here. Â Box checked. Â Moving on. Â Then our dog ate the furniture. Â Like, there was a huge hole through the arm of the outdoor sofa. Â Oh, and he ate the rug as well….
sukhi handmade rugs – review

NewestI am dying, DYING, over how absolutely lovely this room is!!! The soft color on the walls with the pops of turquoise and pink – SO peaceful, girly and fresh. And best of all the fact that you have furniture in here that was your grandmother's – that makes the space special (and the dresser and chair rock, btw!) Tissue paper pom poms, book shelves, curtains, oh the details this room! I seriously want this room for myself! The perfect room for a beautiful little Izzy.
Most adorable room ever! Love that you used pieces that have meaning to you. The headboard is amazing, the curtains are perfect and the little reading nook is awesome. What sweet picture of Izzy too.
This is beautiful. I am so in love with that headboard!!! Great job!
Oh Shelley, it's adorable! I love everything. Perfect for a little girl. I love that you included many sentimental pieces in the her room as well.
What a wonderful room for a little girl! I LOVE the pom pom cushion! I've been wanting to get some of that trim for a while to make one for my little Izzy, but I have never seen it so big! Fantastic! 🙂
I am so in love. This room is the sweetest little girl room I have ever seen. I can't wait for the headboard tutorial!
Best,
Sarah

Its so beautiful! I love that almost everything will be able to grow with her and I think that's so important when doing a child's room. I really love that gray color also I believe I already asked you or read it on what color it is. I also cant wait to see the tutorial on the headboard and love that you bought a plain bed-skirt and added ruffles.
Holy crap. Great job! Tell izzy I am super pumped for her and super jealous of her bed. Can't wait for the DIY tutorial. Everything looks great. Consider it pinned. 😉
Just found your blog! This room is so beautiful – you really did a great job! Excited to find a new read!
Oh my goodness, can she get any more precious in that last shot?!? Melts my little heart (c: And equally as precious is this fabulous room makeover! I'm going to come right out and say I am *FOR SURE* jealous that I don't have a fabulous headboard like that in my room! It's amazing! We definitely need a tutorial…not that I would even attempt it, but I would like to know how in case I actually grow a pair in the DIY department anytime soon (c: ha!
I am so impressed! The finished product is just lovely- and for only $350?!? WOW!
OH such a sweet room. It's so peaceful but with fun pops of color. No wonder she's loving it!! 🙂 And the fact that you used what you had on hand and did it for very little additional costs – I'm just amazed by your talent!!
WOW! I'm not surprised it turned out SOOO beautiful, because I am always in awe of your talent and eye!!! You've done it again my friend!
I'm loving everything about this room! i was dying to see the reveal and it's fabulous! I shared it on my Facebook page!
so cute! love it.
Absolutely love it!
It's beautiful! LOVE that you used Gigi's stuff to pretty up her room!! Sentimental and pretty! Win, win!!!
Just found your blog from the Ginger Snap Crafts party. I LOVE this room and wish it was mine. 🙂 Seriously, you did an amazing job. I'm so impressed with all your DIY and would love more info on your dog silhouette! It's fantastic!

What a beautiful little girls room…I can't wait for the tutorial on the headboard!
Absolutely stunning! That headboard is certainly gorgeous!!! I love all the touches you added to make this room. I'm sure your daughter loves it! Megan
Adorable! Glad my daughter wasn't the only one to go from crib to full-sized bed. You did such a great job, it looks beautiful and still clean and simple!
Adorable! You did a great job keeping it simple but using her favorite things!
Room turned out lovely. Love the fabric for the curtains!
what a really beautiful room! great job!
I had to keep scrolling to find the beautiful paint color – so pretty I love it. I'll have to write that one down. And I love the slipcovered chair in the reading nook. Beautiful job and all done on a budget – enjoy the room!!
oh my gosh, absolutely gorgeous! i love the curtains. this room should last her a very, very long time!
You did an AMAZING job! What a lucky little girl. 🙂
We are going to redo our girls' room soon. You have inspired me!
Adorable, it's such a mature room for an adorable little girl!
I wish that was MY room!! You did an amazing job. I love how it isn't too childish, it's a great mix of girly colors and classy warpped into one room. So not what you expect in a little girls room but that's what makes it so perfect.
I also LOVE your source list….what a neat idea for your readers.
I am your newest follower…now I'm off to check out the rest of your blog.
that looks awesome! i love how it has pinks, oranges, aquas and a little grey! i also like the wall lamp. i'm a huge urban outfitters fan, but never think of it for kids' rooms… i would have never noticed the pillow cases were from there, but they look great!
Shelley,
So glad I found you thru Andrea at Oak Ridge Revival!
Your daughters room is fabulous! I need that headboard – can't wait for the tutorial! My girls are 12 and had a definite opinion on their room colors (much to my horror)! Trying to be a good mom, I let them choose and toned it down with lots of white furniture and rugs. Adore that sock monkey (we have a collection)!

I love, love, LOVE Izzy's big girl room! What makes it so great are all the DIY projects and the pieces that have special meaning – you've created a beautiful and personal room that I'm sure Izzy will love for many years. The turquoise accents throughout the room are great (I especially like the curtains), but it would be easy to update the colour scheme in the future just by changing out a few pieces for a new colour. It's the perfect room for Izzy to grow up with 🙂
I love it! I am in the middle of revamping my daughter's room from a nursery to a big girl's room. I especially love the turquoise table. I would love to have you share this at my link party!
http://thewinthropchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/03/share-it-link-party-1.html
Very pretty room. I love the subtle colors and the reading nook.
Amazing room. I can't wait to see the tutorial for the headboard.
Wow. The contrast between the white and light with the pattern on the curtains is stunning.
I came. I drooled. I pinned.

What a lucky girl. Such amazing details. I love your colors and all the pom poms in the corner.
I bet she is so excited, what a beautiful room. And that headboard is incredible
i love love love this room . . . so bright and fresh and girlie : )
How beautiful! I love how it all came together. The reading corner is AMAZING. I want it in my kids room!
Adorable! Love how all the colors and everything came together. Fantastic job!
You have put together such a beautiful space for your little girl – I love it all! The bed is decked out so prettily with all the gorgeous bedlinen you've sourced, the headboard looks amazing and I love the turquoise bedside table and other smaller table too. Great job!
It's absolutely beautiful! What a lucky (and cute!) little girl!
Hi! I pinned this on Pinterest and featured here. Thanks for joining Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop 🙂 Please feel free to grab the feature button.
This room is adorable!!!!! It's hard to pick my favourite details: the slipcovered chair, the sock monkey, the artwork, it's all fabulous!
😉
love it! so light and airy. i just re-did a nursery into a big girl room and I agree I think i enjoyed it more than she did.
Oh this room is just precious! I know you are so proud of all your hard work and all the money you saved doing it yourself! You gave me inspiration to try and cover a chair I have using a dropcloth. I love all the things you did. Awesome room! lin lbprichatbellsouth.net
I forgot to mention that I love your dog art. I wish I could draw because I would love to do one of those of my dog and cat. But I do not have once ounce of artistic talent in my body! lin
This room is so adorable! You must have saved a lot of money doing it yourself! great job! Here are 5 "cool teen" bedroom inspirations…perhaps your next project? Hope you like it!

Lovely! Really, it's a beautiful space! I have this linked to my children's rooms post too today, for inspiration!
Fabulous room for your little girl! Love it and will be featuring it today…
Where did you get the little doll on the nightstand? I love it!
Great job! I saw flashes of my baby's nursery in there (due in 2 weeks) – the poufs and giraffe! 🙂
I have been wanting to do a dog silhouette art for my sons room. How did you do yours? I couldn't find your tutorial on here.
thanks!
I love the dog art as well! If you could share how you made it, I would greatly appreciate it!
what is the color of the wall…im looking into use a similar color for guest bedroom 🙂
I love this room and the color is gorgeous, I'm looking for a color for my bathroom this might be it. Can I share with my readers giving you credit?
Thanks
I love this room, you did a beautiful job. Do you have a link to the DIY bookshelves?
All I can say is "wow". Hope I could have a room like that.
Your daughter's room is truly beautiful! And i have to admit I love your sock monkey… this is high praise coming from someone who has been freaked out by sock monkeys since she was a small girl. don't know why, just always have been… but i love your sock monkey! maybe its the polka dots!!
All in all it is a truly delightful room that will definitely be able to grow with her! A truly inspiring room!
It just goes to show that imagination and a little (or a lot) of industry can totally transform a space! Lucky girl. 🙂 You must be so pleased with how it turned out. Just gorgeous!
Great transformation while only spending little.
Shelley, this room turned out fantastic! I am in love with how you made it serene and cheery at the same time. Nimbus Cloud was the perfect color choice! I'd love to feature this on my paint color blog. You wouldn't have to do a thing, just let me know if you're interested!
LOVE this room! She is one lucky girl! We budgeted around $300 for our "big girl transformation", and we already have all of the furniture, so I'm hoping to DIY most of the way and come out under budget!
