Happy Weekend! We had SNOW this week, hoping we start to warm up…
Halla – loo – yer, hallalooyer! We’re wrapping this room up. Thanks for all of the suggestions and thoughts on the curtain post.
I really thought we would go with the blush from Target and I was dreading adding something to the bottom and I even tried ordering some blush ones from H&M Home that Jodi R recommended on Facebook but then they were out of stock so I took that as a sign. We put up the BH&G ones from Walmart and she loved them, I loved them, they were the right length so they stayed. Didn’t even iron them! May is such a crazy month with 3 boys in baseball, end of the year performances, concerts, recitals, parties and I honestly wanted to cry adding one more thing to my list -- so I didn’t.
I don’t think the pictures do them justice, and we needed some pattern in there. The lamps used to be in our master bedroom in Virginia and we spray painted them gold. The black framed print is from Hobby Lobby (only $6!!)
The dresser was also in our master in VA but we gave it a new coat of white spray paint.
This was a fun way to display some of her favorite Instagram photos – we found the bulletin board for $5 at the thrift store and then we had them printed at Persnickety Prints. It was the first time we had used them and I loved the kind of paper they used – perfect for display, it was $15 for all of these pics. Then we just hung them with jute twine and tiny clothespins.
I ordered this print from Minted forever ago because I loved it so much – it’s serene and restful and the hint of pink was perfect for her room. It’s called Mornings Away by Emily Jeffords and then we framed it in an Ikea Ribba frame spray painted gold.
The bed is from Amazon and we only paid $152 with Prime in March – right now it doesn’t look like Amazon is selling it, but watch and it may come back at a great price? Info on the board & batten on the wall is here. The chandelier is from my Grandma’s house ♥
The lamps on the dresser are from a yard sale in Texas FOREVER ago, $5 for both. The frames and greenery are from Ross and local stores.
The white & gold pillows are actually from Walmart for $13 each. The white coverlet is from a thrift store for $5 – I was going to use it as a display blanket in a cute basket but it was in such great shape we washed it and used it on her bed. The blush comforter at the foot of the bed came in a set from Ross – only $29.99. Here is a pic:
The bar cart is a crazy random find at Target – it was an after Christmas clearance find for 90% off! $13!! I checked a few more stores for my sister that wanted one but no luck.
The framed quotes by the bar cart are in Ikea and TJ Maxx frames, just printed out at Costco. The top one was from Etsy for $1.50 and I used some floral wrapping paper from TJ Maxx to wrap the mat.
That’s it! I returned all of the curtain choices that we didn’t use and this makeover ended up being easily under $300 since we had the mattress, chandelier, and dresser -- I think I linked up to everything as we went along – let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by ~ I’m adding it to the home tour tab.

Have a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend!
It’s totally a first world problem, but it’s got me in a rut for Hailey’s room. She wanted white, gold, and blush in her room and so far it’s working pretty well. We were going to finish it up last week and move on but the curtains are giving me a pain. Here’s the story:
I died over these blush silk shantung panels at Serena & Lily, but there is ONE left and it’s 84” I first saw them at the M Loves M office I shared on Friday – but they are pricey so maybe it’s good they aren’t available. Soooo, we had to find some alternates.
Here are the contenders that were in stock – AND you get a sneak peek of her room!
After our initial online searches, our first pick was this blush linen panel from Target. They are the perfect shade and match the comforter at the end of her bed. The problem is that it only comes in 84” length! Grrrrrr. About a foot short! So I need to add some fabric on the bottom, maybe with a fringe trim of some sort?? But that also means more work. Target…why only 84”?? I was also hoping for some more pattern, the solid linen may be too…solid.
The picture don’t really show how these Target gold metallic stripe look, but they may be a little too light? $22.49/panel 95”
My first impression when I got these Walmart BH&G in the mail was that they may be a little sassy brassy but then I put them up and liked them much better! And they come in 95” $17.97/panel
And then there are the plain white Ikea Vivan panels – too much white? I love the more sheer look on these though. $9.99 for the pair!
What do you think? Do you have a strong, burning opinion?? I’d love to hear! Or seen anything else around that would look fabulous in her room as we’re trying to finish it up?
