My daughter loves art and will always sign her artwork with her initials DRG (we call her Dee-arjee, sounds kind of like a French artist don't you think?)
The curtains are an almost candy pink/red stripe.
This was a compromise. I promised not to touch the poster wall!
Made this cute cushion.
Made this headboard.
Did NOT embroider this throw.
I am in love with this blue/grey paint colour and have been looking around the house to see where else I can use it.
These tassels really brought my OCD to the fore!
I put metal butterflys in this frame.
Painted the cupboard doors and knobs.

I Love it! I am just about to go & embark on doing the same sort of thing in one of my daughters bedrooms this afternoon!
So many cute things that you have done it there! Laughing about the compromise on the poster wall though....myabe you could paint a huge frame on the wall & then she could put the posters within that!
Great makeover!!
And why not have a poster wall, we all have inspirational walls, vertual or not, so I guess a compromise is not such a bad idea! ;)

Oh Ange!!!! Youve outdone yourself this time!
FANTASTIC!! love the horizontal stripes on the wall..awesome colour choice too...it would have looked awesome to continue it over the cupboard doors..headboard ..ACE....Cushion..ACE...everything ACE :) x
Ange what fun - the room looks brilliant you must be so pleased. What does Danneke think of it? Love the initials on the wall.

Totally awesome job Ange - you star!! I love the poster wall, I had one the same except Rubber Lips Jagger took pride of place on mine. I'd have loved to have seen your DD's face when she opened the door to her new bedroom!

Every girl deserves a poster wall at some stage I think! You gave me such a laugh with that OCD comment...priceless. I am in love with that gorgeous key on the wall. Bet she loves her room, and her mum!
the room looks stunning _ does she just love it? my girls have the posters too,annoying but part of being a teenager! great job, i love it.melxxx
Hi Ange! Wow, what a wonderful job you've done!! I love the cushion you made and the little shelf and the cute key on the wall are lovely touches. Love the chandelier too. Where is the striped rug from? I'm after something similar for our place. The wall stripes look fantastic too - your daughter must have loved what you did!! She is lucky to have such a creative Mum x
Oh Ange, what a beautiful bedroom! Your daughter is so lucky. I love how even the poster wall manages to look orderly and funky. Well done! xx
It's lovely Ange. I'm impressed with how straight you get your stripes!! I bet your daughter is thrilled.
She is one lucky girl Ange...you can tell that is was all done with love. Decorating a girl's room at any age is a risky proposition. I like that you obeyed the 'hand off' rule on the posters. Well done Mum! It could easily sit in any decorating magazine. A big pat on the back to you. What next????
All the best...Jeanne :)
I could have only dreamt of a room as beautiful as this when I was younger. Such a beautiful space! A-M xx
That's so gorgeous! Bet she's thrilled.
I'm thinking of doing those stripes here, was it tricky?

Gorgeous! I loved it!
especially the stripes in the wall!
kisses and hugs! From Brazil!
A lot of work, but so worth this precious outcome! Lucky girl. The room has a beautiful glow to it.

This is the second blog that I have seen the horizantal stripes and I love them. Great job mom! It all looks fantastic, a room any girl would love. I am also starting to think about using grey. All you wonderful women have been using it and I think I might have to give it a try. I like the perfect tassels.
Ange it turned out beautiful. She must be so happy. I love the stripes on the wall and of course the initials look fab.
I have tried to email you to thank you again for the kind introduction to all your friends - you must have a lot because I have had so many stop by...so thank you - thank you!!!
Anyway, your email keeps bouncing back (not sure why).
Again, great job on DRG's room.
What a sweet room! So good to let kids have a say in decorating their rooms!
The poster wall made me laugh, I remember those days. The room looks great. Nice job on the headboard!
Beautiful! She is so lucky to have such a talented mother. But be careful - she'll have you sewing outfits and prom dresses in no time.
This turned out to be so pretty! Wonderful transformation, she's a lucky girl! Thanks for your sweet comments! Have a wonderful day!
Take care

Fantastic job. I'm crazy about initials and love that you put hers over the bed.
It looks awesome! I love the headboard - you did such an amazing job. The whole room is wonderful.
Hi,I love the room!! It looks beautiful. You did a wonderful job....Kathy
Ange the room looks just beautiful. Your French artist must be thrilled to say the least! She is a very lucky young lady.
Will you be showcasing her most recent creations soon...
Best wishes,
Natasha.

Hi Ange, Wonderful job! Love the poster walls, my youngest son has a poster roof...yes covered in posters...a bit of a clash with the antiques...but that's teenagers ah well, cheers Katherine
This is a beautiful room! I love the impact of the black chandelier. And the bed is pretty.
Beautiful! Love the wall stripes and that chandi! So fun...and good for you for compromising on the poster wall. Hard to do I know!
Hi Ange. Me again! Just wanted to let you know I'm gonna post about how I did the score lines on my table as I've had a few questions so keep an eye out!

I bet your daughter absolutely loves her room makeover, you should be so thrilled with the fantastic job you have done Ange! Happy weekend to you ~ Tina x
oh my, it's gorgeous.
So beautiful! I'm a sucker for the horizontal stripes myself...I did my half bathroom and boy it took some time and patience, I can't imagine doing a whole room!! Great job!!
You put a lot of work into it and it shows! It turned out really cute!
I adore those thick wall stripes!
Wow, what a beautiful room!! I absolutely LOVE the soft colors you chose for the stripes, stunning! And the headboard you made is gorgeous as well. Great job, I would have loved to have that room growing up :) I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog, I am so happy to have found yours, I will be following!
