HOME :: Sneak Peek - Girl's Bedroom Makeover

Today I wanted to share a sneak peek into my daughter's bedroom makeover. I started on it back in the fall but then the holidays hit and it was put on hold for a bit. But now . . . I finally get to start putting the finishing touches on it for this phase. When she turned 10 last year (sniff sniff), I thought it was only appropriate to give her bedroom a makeover as she was getting ready to hit that  . . . that . . . dare I say it? . . . that (whispering) . . . pre-teen phase. (gulp) Anyone else feel time just slipping by with your kid? She's my first and last & boy is it hard to fathom sometimes. This growing up process. (sigh)

So back to the bedroom . . .lol.
This is what we started with . . . the infamous "before" photo . . .

and now it's this gorgeous shade of a light teal.

How did we get here? Well this was our inspiration . . . this comforter set we found on clearance at Target last summer that my daughter fell in love with. It was perfect as it incorporated enough of the colors she loved yet wasn't so overwhelming with colors that it would look a mess once it was in her room.

and then there was the paint swatch that we loved . . . and it just so happens that teal is her favorite color . . . at the moment ;)

So then we got to painting and saying goodbye to the pink & flowers that she had grown up with for the last 9 years  . . .

she had some fun writing out messages . . . this was a fun memory that she & I will always have together. It is so so important to grab these moments when you can, since it seems like they get fewer and far between. I will cherish this time in her life as a very fond memory. =)

The room has been painted, the trim has been transformed from 'yuck' brown to a crisp, clean white. Furniture has been arranged & re-arranged. The final layout is complete and now is in the process of being finalized and decorated. The FUN part is finally here.

We are having a blast tweeking the room to make it perfect for her. I am currently working on a gallery wall for her consisting of works of art from her, myself and things we have purchased - it will be amazing. She is organizing and re-organizing to find the system that is going to work for her. I am hoping to share the FULL bedroom makeover reveal soon, so I hope you stay tuned to check it out.
