Toddler Bedroom Makeover [REVEAL]

I'm done with the bedroom, hurrah!  

I'm happy to say I met my Friday deadline...I started Tuesday at noon and finished Thursday at 4pm.  Best part?  Total cost was less than $30!  Love that.

My favorite accessory in this very small space is the printable I created for my daughter.  Every night I sing "You are My Sunshine" to Laney. She's memorized the 1st & 2nd verses, it's adorable to hear her sing along (:
I'll offer up the printable in more colors next week...today's post is pretty darn full!  Loving that cute frame? Me too, get it here.

Note: If you've been following along my saga, lol, here are Day 1 and Day 2's progress.  Here are some more final shots:

Today's progress:
  • Created chain & hung birdcage.
  • Created frame and matte + hung Laney's pic.
  • Painted & put up shelf on shabby hooks.
  • Painted piggy turquoise, no more baby look.
  • Created garland above window.
  • Painted & hung planters to toy/book storage.
  • Bought new sheets + pillowcases.
  • Recycled chicken wire window frame to bow storage.
  • Accessorized. [Funnest part!]
Loving her room.  The pink mirror in the closet is fun for her to check herself out.  The chicken wire frame helps display her too-many-bows-and-flowers, the headband holder fits perfect tucked inside her closet too.  Organization is cleansing ;)  Here are all the mini projects that pulled this room together.  What do you think??  Is a bum knee and sore shoulder worth it??

Flower Planter to Toy Storage:

Recycled Fabric Bunting:
This is pretty self explanitory [triangles.hot glue.jute] BUT the twist is that I made it recycling the fabric that the sheet & pillowcases came in along with a little chenille fabric.
Recycled Frame:
The pic I had of my little missy is an 11x14 but the recycled frame I wanted to use is a 12x14.  What to do? Using 2 Elmer's foam boards [no glass], I cut it to size, hot glued it in place and double-sided the pic onto my homemade mat.  Not too shabby. Tip: No hanger in the back of the frame? 2 eyehooks + jute is a quick replacement!

Hanging a Birdcage:
Tip: Leftover jewelry parts make great looking chains for hanging your birdcage.  Easy.

Painted Piggy Bank
I needed a pop of turquoise and this baby-ish but still cute piggy bank was perfect!

Monogram Initial:
Love this "D" I picked up at Joann's when my babe was born.  To hang, I screwed in 2 eye hooks, looped in some coordinating ribbon & hung from a crystal knob.  Simple customization.

So glad to get Delaney's bedroom decor checked off my [long] to-do list. My little girl said to me after her bath tonight, "I like my room, Mommy. Thank you!"  Bah!-I almost died.  She THANKED me on her own!!  
Cutie.

    Do you have a separate toy room? I think that's my biggest problem...where to put the gobs and gobs of toys :-/

  13. THANKS for the love, ladies!!! Much appreciated! I think posting all the pics took longer than actually decorating her room (:

    Planters were from a garage sale: $6 total=score! Chicken wire frame I've had for years, originally a $2 garage sale find that I stapled chicken wire into...love a good old window frame (:

    Thanks again friends! XO, Kelli

  44. Hi Tania! You're a no-reply blogger so I hope you come back to see my answer (:

    The headband holder is a magazine rack! I got it free at a swap years ago and it's perfect for all those awkward sized headbands!-and they don't get crumpled or anything.

    Thanks for the compliments, everyone! XO

    I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
