Finally, I can share this shabby room makeover. I like how it's turning out, but what's better is that Vallie lives in her new room! She loves the space and the new accessories (she's such a girl).Check out the headboard project here.
One of my favorite things in this room is the chandelier. A chandelier adds instant charm to any room. I found this for free and just spray painted it. The crystals on it are original. It's very old, it has a switch on the bottom and you can adjust how many bulbs you want lit at a time. Perfect for a little girl's room.
Tending one of her 9 babies. Boy, I don't know how she does it. However, when she's a mommy for real, she's just going to have 5 babies. Really, that's all?
I put a real flower in her room for her to take care of. Vallie likes to garden in the summer and was asking when the flowers would start growing again. She checks the soil often to see if it's damp or dry. I hope she has a green thumb someday!
My mom had this sign made for Vallie a few years ago. My mom's friend Deb, from Crows on the Cuppola made it for her. Check out her blog, she does beautiful work!
I had been hunting for a vintage glass lamp for her room. I looked all over and found this little one at Goodwill for $5.oo! Score! I added the pom pom trim to finish it off. Before and afters of the nightstand can be seen in this post.
I made a few pillows for her bed this week since I was off on spring break. She helped pick out the fabric from my overflowing collection. She loves the bee and flower! 
Here is a super easy piece of wall decor. I took an old piece of picket fence from the garage and stapled flowers to the back of it. Simple and very shabby cottage.
I got this rocking chair from my girlfriend Lisa. It was her daughters, I painted it white and stamped Vallie's name with StazOn ink.
We made this shelf out of a foot board a while back. You may recognize the ballet pictures from this post and the tutorial I did on them. That bunny is wearing my baby dress! Why am I so sentimental?
I'm not kidding when I say I've been invited to a tea party everyday this week! I did have to rock a few babes while I was there, but it was well worth the conversations that took place.
After all that tea I was ready for nap!
I put her doll house on a little table that I painted so she could pull it out and walk around it and play at standing level.
I had a cute wicker chair in this corner, but really wanted an upholstered one. I found this chair with the fabric cover at Serendipity. If you haven't been there yet, you should go! Gail is a doll to visit with and she has a darling house full of treasures. She and her mother do a beautiful job. Serendipity is located at 4407 East Superior Street in Duluth, Minnesota.
Ahhhh..... getting ready for the snuggles and bedtime stories. One of my favorite times of the day. With a bigger bed I find myself snuggling longer and falling asleep with her. That's never a bad thing. She's only little once, right?
Can you believe it used to look......
like this?! I am so glad we switched their rooms and updated both of their spaces. They love their new rooms. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend! We are going to be cutting down trees and clearing out the brush so we can build Snowman Hill! We will opening this summer...more details to come on that.
