My daughter is ten years old and she was ready to change her room. We kept everything we had & just spray painted things & added black,white & blue accents.
The first thing we did was sew new curtains.
I can't sew with patterns, a complex I gained in 7th grade when I cut on the fold & had to sneak the project home....Ms. Marchant still gives me nightmares! :)
I just measured how long I wanted them to be and added 3 inches to the top & an inch to the bottom for the hem.
We got the material from Hobby Lobby....the one section of fabric is always 30% off or you can use a 40% coupon on the weeks they have one.
Then I made a sham cover with the same material.
We did get the polk a dot pillow at Hobby Lobby when it was 50% off.
Next we made an accent blanket for the bottom of her bed...I actually just hot glued the ribbon accents on the ends.
We also got wood letters to spell her name & mod podged them with paper that matched her room.
Then came spray painting...
I spray painted the lamp shade (it was pink & white checkers before)
Then I added the flower ribbon with a glue gun.
Then we spray painted this cute frame...it use to be pink, cream & green.
We spray painted this dresser.

I spray painted the frame holder & made the initial plaque.
I sprayed this frame white & hung it on her door.
Then I was inspired by one of my favorite blogs Craft-o-maniac. You can see her lamp
here.
So, I took an old red lamp that I had and sprayed it blue.
Then I took the same material as the curtains & made ruffles with my sewing machine.
Then I pinned them on to the lampshade.
Next....
We changed the material & paper around the pictures on this...
We added blue ribbon to the board.
Her room is now done!
I love changing things that you already have & making them new!
Before...which I loved too.
After...Libby loves the new colors!
