I could always see the potential in this room, even with the old shag carpet, the dark cabinets and the nasty striped wallpaper. I knew it had great bones and major potential. Tearing down that wallpaper was literally the first thing I did in the house and it took 5 minutes. We found original hardwood under the nasty carpet, which I sanded and refinished myself. Here are the before photos. So dark and dreary!
notice the cute shutters, I plan on refinishing them someday and using them in the room again. When I have time :)
Sometimes I go upstairs and just look at Marlo's room. It makes me so HAPPY! Just bright and cheery. I knew I didn't want a specific theme or anything for her room I just had these two afghans that I got at goodwill that were my color inspiration. I went from that! If It was colorful I used it. It is a collection of findings, gathered and cherished.
I did a lot of spray painting. :) Made the curtains with my dear friend Amy. LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! No one else has these curtains. I was also in the mood to do yarn art as I did Dash's D for his bedroom. I didn't do a mobile however, this adorable yarn wall art will do just fine. I used embroidery hoops with random fabrics to add color. The navy blue M was a gift from my friend Maddy :) and the headband and tutu are also a gift from my friend Amy.
The mirror was pretty much forced on us by my brother-in-law. I of course painted it the gorgeous periwinkle it now is. One of my favorite things. Thanks Craig. Dresser was a swap find. Many of the little things are finds from Goodwill, crazy huh?
Adorable elephant was a gift when Dash was born from my girl, Karen! I stole it and Dash is not thrilled! :) I could go on and on about her room and the things that I did but I don't have time. Any questions please let me know! :)
I hope you enjoy my baby girl's room as much as I do.
