Big Girl Room Makeover

Big Girl Room Makeover The nursery is gone. But I’ve had so much fun decorating Lena’s new room, that I’ve forgotten I was once mourning its loss. Here’s Lena’s new room: Room

Unfortunately, the furniture placement (the bed against the wall) is not exactly how I’d like it due to the fear of Lena rolling out of bed. However, it works for now. Also, if you’d like to see how I did the bed rail cover, you can check out my recent blog post here: https://sincerelysarad.com/2013/06/10/the-almost-no-sew-bed-rail-cover/ We found this bedroom set on Craigslist:

And although the white wood was pretty, my vision for it was even better. So, I painted it!

You can see how I painted it in this blog post: https://sincerelysarad.com/2013/04/11/saying-goodbye-to-the-nursery/ I used Annie Sloan’s “Provence” chalk paint for the bed:

And Annie Sloan’s “Paris Grey” for the nightstand and dresser:

The mirror above the dresser has cute frames for pictures. I also added a few great verses. You can find the prints at my shop on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/125066323/1-peter-33-4-bible-verse-print-digital https://www.etsy.com/listing/126410195/psalm-914-bible-verse-print-digital?ref=shop_home_active I used this bunting at her birthday party and found a cute spot for it above her closet: bunting

The frames from her nursery made a reappearance. I just updated a few of the fabric pieces with some remnants I bought off Etsy:

I’ve had this old paper doll set (from the ’60s?) since I was pretty young. I bought it at the local annual book fair in my hometown, and I’ve somehow managed to hang on to it through the years. I placed the dolls on a piece of oilcloth to keep with the retro vibe:

I’ll keep you updated with new additions and changes!
