Ellie's Room Makeover
Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 1:54AM 
Well, I finally got it done and posted! I have to say although the before was rather fun this version is a bit more soothing. Ellie loves it and says she feels like a princess. The paint color which she picked out before stayed the same. We did a bit of rearranging , the occasional mess is now hidden from the door way is a huge plus. The biggest difference for me was painting the bed. I went with the same gray that is on the dresser in our room since technically they are a set and one day the dresser will go in Ellie's room. This was also my first time to make fully lined curtains, I must say I am quite proud of the way they turned out.
Paint: Sherwin Williams Parakeet Green

I did a fun little interview with Catherine from iBlog. Her husband is the creator of the gorgeous frame that hangs over KJ's bed. Oh, and when they lived here in Birmingham her sweet little nursery was featured in Southern Living. How fun is that!

beautiful!
so simple and fun at the same time. Isn't kinda sad that they both have big kid rooms now? My boys need some changes, too. They do grow up fast. Hope you're feeling better!

Very sweet and you did a great job on the curtains! Love her flowers on the nightstand.
Gorgeous room and one which is sure to grow with her as she gets older. I particularly love all the splashes of colour. Well done on a great job!
