Bedroom Update for a Princess (In Progress)

Remember when I was all ”my house is a villian and trying to sabotage all my creative time with, uh, creative house projects”?  Remember that?  Well, we kissed and made up.

Not really.  I’m totally kicking this house’s ranch butt.  But it is subsequently kicking mine.  Oh, the neck pain from painting!  But I’m determined to cross some things off the house list this year–including a little update for my daughter’s room.  I’ve had the paint since July 2011!  However, I am now happy to report that the walls are now shell pink and her bed went from black to peacock over the last few days.

We are keeping all of the big items and just freshening up with paint and a new pillow or two.  I am also switching out her mirror with two I found at Scott’s last year and adding a little madeover tea table from The Salvation Army (still awaiting final coats of paint in the studio).  The little stools for the table are already finished–since last summer when I thought I would just whip out the room redo.  Sigh.

And her awesome art that I’ve been gradually framing will cover the walls.

This girl is sweet, like one of the sweetest girls I have ever known, thoughtful; and she lives and breathes princess stuff.  So a sweet princess room she will get regardless of whether her mama likes themed rooms or not.  It would be a blight on her childhood not to have a princess room (all things relative, people).

I’ll keep you posted.
