The room is a bit trendy at the moment with bright Tiffany Blue walls and hot pink touches throughout. I felt that it needed to grow up a bit and become a little more sophisticated. I hope that in doing this my daughter will love it and maybe respect this space a bit more upon her return from school. Well maybe at least she will make her bed!

Embarassing!! My daughter's room, well at least the part
I can show you!
Plan going into action!
As you can see the room is in disarray! I could only show you small glimpses since she kept if an utter disaster area! I have my hopes that this will change now that the room and child are growing up!
First things first, remove chair rail and paint room a lovely:
Revere Pewter -Benjamin Moore!
Second :Paint the following items crisp white and add new
silver hardware!
Floor needs a lovely wool rug in pewter and oatmeal tones!
Bed needs new side tables that provide extra storage as 3 closets don't seem to do the job, go figure!
Roman shades in Duralee fabric is staying- like them and they add a little whimsy to space.
New headboard from One King Lane does the trick!
Side lamps will get revamped and art and accessories
will be added!
Stay tuned as my daughter's room learns a little sophistication.
