Reidi's Room Fit For A Princess!

Reidi is my grand daughter and the only girl with 3 brothers.  She is so pretty with her beautiful dark hair and radiant smile. She has a gift in arts and crafts and never ceases to amaze me with her painting. When decorating this room, my daughter Cassie picked out the comforter first and used that to draw inspiration from.

                         The fabulous bed is a heirloom that has been past down from generation to generation.



 

The cabinet was a piece my daughter found and was not sure how it would turn out, but the gray paint was a perfect shade to bring out the wall paper and soften the brighter colors.

The Turquoise end tables were a find off Craig's list and painted this marvelous color.  The mirror was a piece I found at a garage sale and did a fun decoupage on. It needed to be whimsical like her room and be a play on color!

 

Using fun magazine pictures and wrapping paper I had a wonderful time with this project.

 

Multi purpose glue was used to paste the pictures on and then I painted over with a decoupage to give it a finished look that would last.

 

You could even use a child's old book that was no longer useful to get pictures for this project.

 

 

 The curtain treatment is one of my favorite things. Cassie wanted something sheer but still wanted color so she came up with the idea of sewing the fabric to the top of the sheer curtain. This is a very inexpensive idea because sheers are found at your second hand stores and you do not need much fabric.

 

To give Reidi privacy a roman shade was installed . The striped pink and white added a little fun to the room along with the colorful piping fringe. This shade is an easy project that I will cover in an up coming blog.

 

 

The wall paper was put only on one wall. This is a wonderful way to give an extra pop to a room with out spending a lot of money. The chair was a garbage find that was painted to match end tables then  covered in the same  fabric to match the roman shade.( When adding color try to bring it in three times to bring the room together.) The pink fringe was a nice embellishment  to polish off the look. Cassie enlarged one of Reidi's pictures from the beach and put it in a black frame, this gives the room a personal touch.

The wallpaper chandelier adds a whimsical touch and complements the perfume collection Reidi has started.

Working in cosmetics for many years has had its advantages. Over the years I have collected many miniature perfume bottles so I have enjoyed passing a lot on to Reidi.

 

                I love the vintage pins that were added for display in the little pink china dish.

 

 

This is another small group of her perfume colection on this vintage tray.

 

 

The turquoise tooling was added for the bed skirt. Tooling is very inexpensive and how can you pass it up if you are decorating for a cute little girl!

 

Thank you Reidi for letting Ya Ya show your wonderful turquoise and pink room.I love you the big wide world!!
