Purple/Blue Girl's Bedroom

My mom and I recently re-did my cousins Morgan's bedroom while she was on vacation!

She turned 10, and her room needed an update for her age.  She had lots of pink and purple in her room previously, and since she's a bit of a tom-boy we didn't want the color scheme to be too girly.

Our biggest surprise to her was the sliding barn door.  She already had a small door in the corner that goes to a small finished attic space used as a playroom that her dad built.  We thought it would be so cool to have a door that hides it like a secret passageway.

Morgan picked out her bedding, which had lots of black, gray, and purple tones.  We based the room off of that and added some sparkle here and there.

She requested that we paint some circles on the wall with different colors, so we made a wall that looks as if we splashed circles of different sizes across it!  

Some of the circles are mirrors attached with 3M stickies, and a few are zebra decals, and a couple are pizza pans used as magnet boards.

We made the sliding barn door out of a 30" flat hollow-core wood door from HomeDepot with a sliding door track attached to a painted 2x6.  She already had a guitar that we hung on a wall guitar display hanger.

The chandelier and mirror are from Hobby Lobby

The window treatment is hung higher, close to the ceiling, to make the window look larger, the ceiling look higher, and to act as a headboard.

We also got a plexiglass shelf from cb2.com for her books she reads before bed.

There are hooks on the wall by her door for her backpack and jackets.

Love you Morgie!

Botanical Decals

Here are some new wall decals that I bought for my laundry room bi-folding doors:

I've been wanting to do something creative to my white laundry room doors for a while now.  The corner just needed some added color because they were white, next to a white garage door, next to a white back door, with a white table and chairs, in a white kitchen!!!

I'd been looking for a wall decal for these doors, but was really picky.  These had my colors and were simple enough, from Wall-Pops.  You don't think they're too girly for my husband do you? ha!  The butterfly doesn't help.  Oh well, he says he likes it!

A shot of our laundry room before our construction project and an after:

Close-up:

[I cut a couple of the decals to bridge the gap between two of the doors so they don't look like they're compartmentalized between the four parts of the door]

This way I can peel them off with no harm to the paint if I get tired of them- they're totally easy to peel and re-position when putting them on the walls!
