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!!
I love the yellow with a pop of pink and that printable is just so dang cute!! Such a great room for a toddler and she is looking like she loves it :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have taken LuLu with me to Yuma! Love her! The room turned out fab, Kell!! Probably a good thing we don't live next-door anymore because I would have distracted you for sure ;) Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteXO
PS where did you get those planters? :)

ReplyDeleteDo you have a separate toy room? I think that's my biggest problem...where to put the gobs and gobs of toys :-/
It turned out so sweet! I love the planter turned toy holder, and I am eyeing the bow holder on the wall, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And, holy crapola, you work fast! I'm pretty sure weeks upon weeks were spent on my toddler's big boy room. It looks fantastic! I love the planters on the wall. And I would not have thought to paint the piggy bank! Fabulous job, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteThe Big D just gave me an idea for a 1st bday party gift. And the room is too cute.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for the love, ladies!!! Much appreciated! I think posting all the pics took longer than actually decorating her room (:
ReplyDeletePlanters 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

ReplyDeletei love love this room. i love the printable you made for 'D'. you brought so many good ideas my way for my daughters room. thanks. jenny
ReplyDeleteHi Tania! You're a no-reply blogger so I hope you come back to see my answer (:
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
