Little Girl's Pink Bedroom Makeover

Bedskirt with Pottery Barn bedspread and wall hanging

After Painting, Before Decorating

Granddaughter's Bedroom Before

There was no bedskirt on the twin bed nor were there curtains. So using my Salvation Army finds in pinks and greens and whites, I fashioned a gathered bedskirt with alternating pieces of fabric from skirts, blouses, and shirts.

The wall hanging above the bed was made with pink satin as the background, a crown cut from a skirt & pink trim from another skirt. Gathered fabric circles with buttons at the center are at each point and "Princess" is embroidered below.


The ceiling light was an old can light, so I found a small chandelier that didn't drop down very far. Electrician husband had to do a little tweaking in the old can and also had to buy a cover from Home Depot to camouflage the big hole.

Chandelier and curtains

The ruffled white curtains were a purchase from ebay.

Fabric bins and stool

The fabric bins were in one of my previous blogs, now filled with toys. The coffee table was found at an antiques consignment shop, bought with the intention of being a longtime piece that can be repurposed as my granddaughter grows and even go into a first apartment.

The stool is made of felt and filled with all  my scraps from all the projects I've worked on this past year. The instructions are in the book, Reinvention.

The lamp beside the bed has a shade I covered with fabric that has flowers made from ribbon; round swirls of ribbon.

On one of the walls, I placed a castle decal from Disney.
