Shabby Chic Girl's Room

This room belongs to a sweet 4 year old little girl!  Her mom loves shabby chic but lives in a new home so we decided her bedroom was the perfect spot for a little shabby chic.  This room was empty except for the bed which was in the other corner of the room (my before pictures were lost....so sad but imagine a big empty room).  Because the room is a bit small for such a big bed and I didn't want the bed to over power it, I placed the bed in front of the window and made a custom window treatment out of a shower curtain that helped balance out the scale of the bed.   I knew that by making the window treatment expand past the window, it would trick the eye to make the window seem just as big as the bed.  It was a great solution to a large bed in a small room.
I worked on lots of items in this room myself including this mirror and the letters.  I used fabrics and modgepodge to cover the wood letters and adhere them onto this mirror which I painted green.  I think it's a creative way to bring some color into the room and also personalize it.  I also had the pillows made and added little bits or ribbon and pearls here and there.  Below you can see a custom wall treatment I did.
If you look really close you can see the tone on tone wall treatment we did to the wall.  Since the window wall has the bed on it we wanted to create a little drama on the other walls to add interest.  I took the wall  paint and added a little bit of white paint and glaze and then used a stencil to apply it to the walls.      
A dress-up corner was a must for this little girl!
                                 

This beautiful chandelier was the perfect finishing touch.
