Makeover Room Edition Part 2

Once we decided the girls would move in together, I started thinking of color schemes. Claire's bedding before was bright pink, green, purple and yellow. Really cutsie and fun but I wanted something different and a little more mature. Something that would grow with them as they got older. Believe me, this was a long process of figuring out what I wanted. I can be pretty indecisive!!

After lots of looking online and on various blogs, I finally came up with the colors: aqua and brown! It took a little work to convince Chris of this but he eventually agreed and was excited that I wasn't going with more pink. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for at the stores so I had some custom bedding made by a gal that lives in Manhattan, KS. I contacted her last fall and told her what I wanted and she gladly accepted the challenge. She was so great to work with and her work is extremely high quality.

Last month, we painted the room and put up a chair rail. Thanks to our small group and my parents we got the job done in a day and were able to move the girls in together a few days later. The girls' room is basically done except for some room decor I'd still like to add once I figure out exactly what I want to do.

The girls' room...bedding and curtains made by Mandi!

Here is another view...Claire's bed.

A close-up of the curtains...I really love the damask design. Mandi made these curtain with black out lining and it is so great for nap time! LOVE IT!

Did I mention the comforter is reversible?!?

A close-up of the material...this is quality stuff, folks!!

This is the bookshelf against one of the long walls.

I was out browsing last weekend and came upon this sweet little lamp...it matches perfectly!!

I bought these bins from Target...they were hot pink to begin with to match Claire's prior bedding. I painted them with some leftover blue paint and tied a ribbon at the top to accent it. My mom found this polka dot ribbon at Hobby Lobby and I went to town with it. It really adds a lot to the room, I think!

This frame was in Claire's room as well and I also repainted it and used the ribbon my mom had gotten. I love the sweet picture of the girls!

This is the view looking from their beds to the front of their room.

And in their bathroom, I painted these canvases and mounted some pictures of the girls to match the coordinating bath accessories.

Cute bath accessories I found at Target...aren't they fun?

I still have a few more ideas up my sleeve but with all the sickness going around at our house still, I've had to take a little break. I am still looking for ideas as to what I should put up on their walls. So if you have any great suggestions, let me know!!

So what do you think of their new room?!?!
