The Girls' Room


My sweet girls' room!!! I have decorated and fixed up a lot of rooms before, but I must say this one is my absolute favorite! I am sharing over 20 photos and all the little details that went into their room. There is still a couple of things happening soon to the room like a new bed in the fall. But for now, let me tell how I created this vintage boho bedroom!


First off, let's talk about this wallpaper! LOVE, love, love!!! I had dreams about this wallpaper. It is an aqua color with pinkish-peach floral pattern on it. We got it from Home Depot. It was actually lost in the mail for a couple days, so it felt like Christmas when it finally showed up. It was the perfect balance to our 'tropical fruit' Behr paint on the rest of the walls.


I only did the wallpaper on the section beside the bed, because I wanted it to be the focal point of the room and also to make the room appear bigger. Cool trick, huh?!



I created this sweet corner for my youngest. Here she can write, do her arts n' crafts, have a tea party or draw on her chalk board. 


I added this vintage style birdhouse and garland to give the space more character. The garland I made from vintage fabrics that I tore into strips and tied to some twine.


The tin bucket on the floor holds books for my youngest. I placed the shelf a little high on the wall, because later this month my daughter will be getting a wooden kitchen set and then her wooden dollhouse will go here on top of the chest...shhh, it's a birthday present! ;)


We are lucky enough to be blessed with an original Peter Rabbit book box set. So I wanted the shelf to be decorated around the book set. We found a Peter Rabbit tin box in the thrift shop. As well as the two ceramic bunnies...love their floral necklaces! I added the wooden hearts my oldest made in shop class and a vase with a rose for the final touches.


This is my favorite part of the room. I created this corner for my oldest. She can sit here to read, listen to her music or have some alone time. I purposely put her vanity desk and chair on this side of the room. That way this is her side of the room and her younger sister won't be 'coming through' making a mess and touching her stuff.


I made this canopy myself using a vintage embroidery hoop and vintage lace curtain. I inserted the top of the curtain inside the embroidery hoop, then carefully inserted the lace ribbon to hang it from the ceiling. Then I when all was in place, I tightened the hoop. 


I found the wooden candle holders, the wooden flower pictures and the wooden basket all in the thrift store. The wooden basket holds chapter books for my oldest. The vintage lamp was a Christmas present from my in-laws, but it was also a thrift store find.





The glass jar chandelier was a hanging candle holder I found in Market Basket that I added crystal beads to the bottom. I found the beads in Wal-mart and used clear thread to sew them onto the bottom of the jar. I love how it sparkles in the sunshine!



My oldest' vanity desk was found at the Christmas Tree Shop on clearance. I added mirrors and glass bowls and vases to give the desk that extra shine and magic. The butterfly painting above was painted by me and was happy that it matched perfectly in the room!




As a mother, I have been more aware of having too much plastic in the house. I went through the kids toys and got rid of most (not all) of the plastic toys. Not only does the room look nicer with no plastic, but I can rest easy knowing that most of their toys are natural materials.


My oldest daughter and I came up with this cool invention. We needed a place for our jewelry and we didn't want to add more furniture. So we came up with this bohemian style jewelry storage idea.


We took this shelf and added big mason jars to it. Inside we put all our earrings and watches. Then we hung our bracelets on the hooks.


Below that we added this bohemian wooden arrow sign with hooks. It was the perfect place to hang all of our necklaces. It's both practical and pretty!




So happy my pretty girls love their room! I was glad I could figure out a theme that fit them both. There is a big age gap between them and I wanted to make sure they both liked it. The room is now simple, pretty and a welcoming place for them both. Peach walls, floral wallpaper, vintage decor and the smell of roses!!!!


Many pretty play times to come!
xoxo, Arianne
