My daughter’s bedroom makeover is finally complete! It is an Adorable Little Girl’s Bedroom filled with soft colors, vibrant patterns, vintage furniture, and even a Magic Mirror!
Goal # 1 for the New Year was transforming our three year old’s room into a space she can call her own. It took 4 months and there were tons of small projects along the way that make up the bedroom makeover.
I can’t wait to share them all with you!
Let’s take a moment to look back at what we started with. This is a shot of her bedroom right after we moved in two summers ago. Notice the beige walls and the lovely, very formal window treatments.
Very grandma frumpy. So not fit for my spunky little princess!
Now this is a space that makes Tootsie and me smile!
Of course, the first thing I did was rip down those awful drapes and brighten the room up with soft green paint.
The window treatments were created following Hi Sugarplum’s tutorial {DIY} How to Build a Window Pelmet.
It was super easy and cost next to nothing since it was made with foam core boards from the Dollar Store and a hot pink sheet from Goodwill!
We were so blessed to inherit a complete bedroom set from my grandmother when she downsized her household last fall. As we were loading the furniture into our trailer, my grandmother asked me what color I was going to paint her bed.
I promised not to lay a paint brush on her bed but I didn’t say anything about the nightstands.
A Little Bit of Blue DIY Chalk Paint dolled up those outdated, laminate pieces. The soft blue breaks up the color from the matching maple bed and dressers.
Old, nasty lampshades were ripped apart and beautiful crystal lamps were given new life with more girly touches.
I love the pink gingham fabric and the ruffly ribbon added to the edges! Go here to see the tutorial for the DIY Lampshade Makeover.
My Grandmother’s Hope Chest looks lovely in the room in the room now that it has a new coat of paint. Before I got my hands on it, the chest was avocado green and speckled with missing wood veneer.

Tootsie’s monogram was added with an easy technique for Washi Tape Wall Decals.
Beside the bed is the Rock-a-Baby corner.
It is still our favorite spot to read before bedtime. Displaying paintings from both of Tootsie’s great-grandmothers makes it extra special.
The dresser with mirror looked small on one long wall.
A simple craft project of creating Vibrant Paper Pinwheels was all I needed to filled in the space above the mirror.
A Gallery Wall of precious photographs completed the look.
Tootsie loves naming all the sweet babies and beautiful ladies on her wall. Especially her Meme celebrating her first birthday!
Using Family Photographs to Decorate
By far the DIY Dress Up Station is Tootsie’s favorite spot.
The wall space is designed for hanging her best gowns for the Royal Ball, it has a small hamper for more dress up storage, and a “Magic Mirror” for her to see her cute little princess self.

I’ve got to show you just one more thing… Tootsie’s Upcycled Jewelry Box!
An inexpensive box was transformed from Va-Va-Voom Purple Cheetah to a Pink Polka-Dot covered creation ready to store tons of bracelets, rings, and bows. Click here to see the tutorial.
I hope you have enjoyed taking the tour of my Adorable Little Girl’s Bedroom! It was so fun crafting, repurposing, and decorating Tootsie’s room.
Sending each of you {big hugs} for making it to the end of this super long post!
