Frame fun




I told you I was in the mood to decorate my daughters room the other day so I've been working on it off and on and having been trying out several different ideas. After hitting a few goodwills and checking craigslist I found 6 old frames (minus the glass and backing) to use for what I decided to do. As you can see I hung the frames and then spelled out my daughter's name using the wood letters that I had made for her when she was born. It didn't feel like enough on the space since the walls behind it are white I decided to add more pictures to the collection. I framed a few with some silver frames just to give it something different and then tacked up some other pictures to fill in the gaps. I was going for a fun but casual look. I might still try and look for more frames though for the other pictures and I'm actually considering painting her room to give it some color. Maybe a pale lavender or something. Not sure though.
What do you think of the lettering? Oh and the black frames only cost me $5. Everything else was stuff we already had around.

Inspiration

We just recently moved my daughters room upstairs. Long story short we had to move her into the spare room and the spare room downstairs next to her brothers room because he kept getting her up at night. Anyways since we moved her upstairs I am not loving her current space or the way that it looks. I've been searching catalogs and hgtv.com for ideas on how I can spruce up her space. Here are a few images that I fell in love with.
I love the mix of the white furniture and the natural elements and the wall design is AMAZING! If my daughter was older that might work but honestly since she's 2 she might just pull those beautiful flowers right off the wall. lol.

I love this space. It's beautiful and plush and it's oh so fancy. I love the bed frame and the way they spelled out the girls name by using the frames.


I love love love the polka dots. Again look at that beautiful bed frame!

I love the color combos of the blue and the pink and how that pink is on the bed, on the curtains, and even the lampshades. I also really like that they used an old sewing machine cabinet as a side table.
Do you have any favorite girly room designs or ideas that have worked in your space? Let me know I'd love to give my little miss a fun but pretty room that she can grow into and isn't babyish.
