Bedroom Makeover

I have been planning for some time now to redecorate my youngest daughter Tilly's bedroom and the opportunity finally came this week. With Tilly safely packed off on school camp I got to work. She was away for 2 nights so that gave me 2.5 days to paint walls, doors and knick-knacks, replace door handles, install a "desk" and hang curtains (including curtain rod).
She was so thrilled to see it when she got home today. She has only come out to have her dinner and then gone straight back in to sit at her desk.

RELAX letters from Spotlight, painted red. Small blue velvet cushion I embellished with the red star. Curtain rod incl. rings and brackets $15 from op shop.

I desperately wanted to paint the bedside table white but Tilly loved the natural timber. Actually I think it gives a bit of depth to the scheme.


This is the smallest bedroom in the house and was probably intended to be used as an office so furniture placement was a challenge.

The hutch was a $20 garage sale find. A coat of white paint and it looks so pretty. The desk still needs a chair but I told Tilly I'd let her choose one herself.

Plenty of hooks for hanging things up.

Great to get the school bag up off the floor.

I'm sure the fish appreciate being able to see where they are going. You wouldn't believe how filthy the tank had got.

Mirror was a bargain(!) off ebay.

I found 2 of these shutters tucked under some stairs in a 2nd hand shop.

I have one very happy camper home safe and sound :o)
