It was too hot to play outside today in our garden...so I decided to tackle Busy's room!!!
When I did Jordan's room all crazy and bright...Ashlyn decided that she too would choose her own paint and decor....I did draw the line at the Dora bedspread...but the Dora comforter and sheets are under the pink one...lol
Alas...Busy had a sad face that she didn't need a new room....as she keeps hers nice and tidy...(thank goodness at least one of my kids turned out like me...lol) (pretty sure my own mom would beg to differ about what "used" to be...) I opted to try NOT to paint...here is what I came up with...(pretty sure I need to paint...)
Think she likes it???
Oh Yea...she likes it a lot...she picked the coverlet out all by herself...there was pink (ugly) and blue/green/lavender....and that's what she chose...Phew!
I love this bedding!!!
What's that? You want a close up of the details on the fabric??? Sure...
You can't see it in the photo...but there is quite a bit of her wall color in there...
A couple of very old babies and a jewel box...her dresser is so clean...she did it herself...LOTS of Pledge went into this...the carpet in front of it is like a skating rink to prove it!
I just used cream color sheers... more dollar store tassels...and added some of these dollar store medallions...they just pin on...and they added some interest to the plain sheers.
closer peek.
This window/mirror...used to be in the sun room..it was olive green and pale yellow. I whitewashed it with some paint...and added some flowers, a lace runner, another tassel and her baby hat.
ALL the Barbies and their house were moved to the closet along with the other toys. Many toys were packed up at Ashlyn's request to give to someone else...("them are for babies mom"
And that my friends is the end of the story.
I still want to add some small book shelves to the one wall....and possibly paint...when I get a rainy day outside.

No Sisterly help on this one?(-:
My daughter had Barbies till she was in 5th grade. She loved them. She had the house and the whole thing. She was not neat and tidy though. but I helped her keep things organized in her room.
Where'd you find the "crown" table? ☺ Diane
the rooms both girls, look beautiful!! pretty rooms for pretty girls!
I am just in love with the mirror/window and I like what you did to it with the lace and flowers... very creative. And the bed spread is fabulous.
I hope Ashlyn dreams pretty dreams in her pretty room!

The Genius said she loves you and next time she'll say Hi to Tootsie when she jumps from the plane instead of OMG OMG { you can see her mouth saying this twice on the video as they are jumping....lol. }
Hugs to you~ J
I saw a pic in a magazine once and have never forgotten it...they used curtains of cranberry and white and I believe some dark blue, with matching bedding and it really made the purple room look lovely! I need to try and re-create it...my old curtains are falling apart from the sun!!!
Great job here, and I know Busy is so happy!!! I like her dollies!!!
You and daughter did good work!
