Little Girl's Bedroom

This is my little girl's room.  She is a 2 year old going on 12 so this is very fitting for her.  I love this room most because, yes it is my little girls, but a lot of my child hood keepsakes are displayed in here.  I really only spent around $50 on this room besides the wall paint.  Everything was a hand-me-down, from the furniture to the shelf, to the bedding (that actually was mine at my parents house.)  The only items I bought was the head board for $10 on ksl and painted it black, a few decorations and the curtains.  I'm telling you, spray paint can do wonders to items around your house that you are not using!  Decorating kids rooms is one of my favorite challenges.  I love getting to know their little personalities and making a room their own!  This room totally reflects my little girls to the "t".

This was the room staged as her nursery.  It's fun to see how much just the furniture color can change the entire mood of the room.

Master Bedroom Retreat

I LOVED decorating and staging this room.  It was a fun experience, Mrs. A, was actually out of town when I put the room together.  I loved the result. She had the rose picture made for her by her mother in law and it was the inspiration for the entire room.  I loved finding the delicate, traditional pieces to make this room have a calming, romantic, retreat like feel.  I am a fan of red, and I love how the pops of this rich color are spread throughout the room with out feeling too overwhelming. And I have to say my favorite part of the room is the night stand arrangements.  The mirrors behind the lamps give such an awesome effect.  I LOVE that and I'm sure I'll be doing that in more of my designs.  

This was the before picture.  We pretty much just took the bones and made a change to everything else, from the finishes on the dressers and frames (we painted them a satin nickel finish) and picked out all the finishes to makes the room flow and tie all in together.

I love this view of the room.  I love the way the red curtains drape to make such a romantic feel.
