JB's Room

I have been working on Jenna Beth's room for several months. Actually had a lot of the work done - painting, wall decor, curtains, etc - but kept forgetting to take the bed posts to a friend for her to refinish them! We finally got it all taken care of and I am glad to have her room done!! 

 

The bed will only look made if I make it, which is one of the reasons why none of my kids have actual bedspreads!  Her favorite color is blue so there is lots of it in her room. I bought the little wood frames above her bed at Michael's and painted them with acrylic paints that I already had at the house.

 

 

I love that there is room under this bed for storage! I had a couple of these wood crates, also from Michael's, already painted pink. When I figured out that they would fit under the bed, we bought 4 more in an undercover operation from Michael's and painted the extras pink and blue! I have all of her toy stuff organized neatly in them now, but know she won't keep it that way. At least they can just be shoved under the bed and all her junk will be out of sight!

 These zig zag curtains from Anna's Linens were kind of the jumping off point for her room. I had them many months before I ever put a coat of paint on the walls. I love the color combo in them!

 These little sayings are just printed and mod podged to 8x10 canvases. They add a little bit of a grown up touch to Jenna Beth's little corner of the world.

This is a dresser that I bought from my friend Kim who is a master furniture re-doer-extraordinaire! I love it! I actually had it sitting in my living room for a while wishing I could find an excuse to leave it there, but Jenna Beth's dresser at the time had 2 broken drawers and I had just bought it at a yard sale for like $30 so the fact that it was falling apart wasn't a huge deal!

 I am awful about hanging family pictures in our house. I always joke that my house looks like it is always staged because there are few pictures of us on the walls! I put these three pictures of the kids in her room to try to make it a little more personal. 

I got the idea for these little hanging shelves for dolls from here. They were easy to recreate, but with all projects I do it was a lesson in trial and error. As with the storage under her bed, I often have to come and put all the dolls back on these shelves! They are cute when loaded with stuffed things, but not so cute when the stuffed things are spread across the floor!

Probably one of my favorite parts of this room is the blue ceiling! I knew I couldn't get away with painting the whole room blue since we are probably going to be putting our house on the market at some point. I love the pop of color it adds to the otherwise neutral brownish walls.

I love the transformation this room took from the baby room (see that room here)  it was when we moved into this house to the sort of big girl room that it is now!
