Ella’s room – update with photos

If you read my blog you may remember all the agonizing decisions I made a while back in regard to decorating Ella’s room. The wall color! The bedspread! The furniture! It was as if I was decorating a room for the president.

Well, I finished the room and am very happy with it. And I’ve been meaning to post photos, but uh, well it just never seems to be picture perfect (without tea set, dresses strewn everywhere). But alas, I’ve snapped a few shots.

Also, I want to add that the first thing we did was had some antique furniture painted. My mother donated some very pretty furniture that her mother actually had when she was a little girl. I loved giving it new life and having a little bit of my grandmother around.

Anyway, we had it painted a light green by my lovely BIL/furniture restorer Dan and it looked great. But this did create the dilemma about what color to paint the walls that wouldn’t look like an pastel Easter Egg explosion in there. And now that I’ve rambled way too much, here’s what you really want to see.

In case you want to know: Rug from Target, bedspread from Macy’s. Butterfly wall decals from Uppercase Living, Curtains from Wal-Mart.

Love the wall decals – easy to put up and remove.

Another decal/growth chart which is behind her door.

Love, love, love the dandelion art we bought from this awesome artist off etsy.com.

The other green antique dresser in the room. I was happy with the way the chocolate brown paint makes it pop.
