My daughter’s big girl bedroom has been a year (or so) in the making and I’ve shared some pictures and projects along the way. However, I’ve never shown the whole room or a before and after. I think I’m most proud of this room because I was able to use Craigslist, garage sales, eBay and my own handiwork for most of the items in her room and to lower cost.
Although her nursery and big girl bedroom use the same color combinations (greens, pinks, yellows, and whites), her nursery colors were more pastel. They were very soothing for a baby but for a big girl, we wanted something more vibrant and fun.

I love the colors that you used- my daughter’s bedroom is done in the same colors. It is the cheeriest room in the house.
I am going to have to borrow the bird/Love wall decal idea!
Beautiful!! You know I never get tired of seeing the pink-green combo! Every combo is different and however it is done, I love it! btw, I started a new party for kids decor, Tuesday’s Nursery. It’s for all ages of kids decor and I’d love for you to link up this room – and any others you have! It’s right on my home page and the linky is open. I hope you can make it! Nice to meet you!
What an adorable room!! I love the patterns of the bedding and curtains.
Can u give more details on the chandelier? Did you paint it? What model from Lowe’s? Thanks!
Hi Jenn – Thanks for your comment. I did not paint the chandelier. It came in white with pink prisms. I looked on the Lowes site and can not find this exact same chandelier. I believe the brand was portfolio but I can’t be too sure. I’ll keep looking and update this comment if I find more info.
Wow! What a transformation. I especially love the drapes and the bedding. Great job!
I really love this room. I like the old fashion suitcases and the little details like the bird pull on the nightstand.
Thank you, Dana!
Thanks and good blog.
