Window Dressing

The children's bedrooms here have been a bit Spartan since we moved in.  Mainly just beds and a dresser – for personal items since the clothes are stored in the laundry room. It has been a good system since the rooms  clean up easily and usually look pretty neat. Now we are turning our attention to dressing them up a bit and slowly replacing some subpar beds and mattresses etc.

The girls each picked out bedding before we moved. Alannah has a set of black bunkbeds and chose a black and white zebra stripe comforter with hot pink sheets and bedskirts.  For months the windows stood bare.  They are now dressed in bold pink sheer panels topped with black boas found locally.  They hang on simple black iron rods.

We repainted an old hand me down chair in glossy black and moved it in for seating.  The stained white upholstery was recovered (glue gun and staple gun) in a pink cotton and topped with a pillow to match the bedding and boas.  It still needs the black braid trim to cover the staples.  Had to wait til I found it finally at a craft store.  To be done soon.   It isn't exactly "my" style but it isn't exactly "my" room now either is it? ; )  And it is very, very "her".

  1. Very pretty and creative, Kim, and perfect for a teen girl! We’ve also been redecorating kids’ bedrooms — lots of work, but so much fun! One can’t go quite as wild with color in the more “proper” areas of the home:-)
