Phoebe Turned 13!!
Let me say that one-more -time
THIRTEEN.
Well, now, that got here fast.We like any excuse to do a makeover of Phoebe’s room
and the 13th Birthday
MAKEOVER…did not disappoint.
I think a testament to any Successful makeover,
is a room which holds it’s own, over time,
WHILE an Actual person LIVES in it.
Sleeps in it.
Studies and has Sleepovers in it…and listens to music and dances with her friends in it.
Kicks her soccer ball in it!
Rugs: Pink and White Polka Dot, on clearance at PBTeen. Navy and White – Target.
Walls: Benjamin Moore – Cotton Balls, Down Pour Blue, and Peony above the picture rail.
Trim – Chantilly Lace.
Pink Mirror : found- for FREE!!!
Saw Horse Desk: from Ikea bought on ebay,
Desk chair is from Target.
Yellow book case, bought cheap and sprayed yellow – story here-
The Mirrored dresser was a 13th Birthday Gift for Phoebe for her new room. It belonged to a friend, I painted it BM Moonlight White and added appliques from ebay.
Pink Adirondack chair, I got a the grocery store!
I am in the market for a real chair…any day now!I made the Cornices, they were SO easy, see story and tutorial here
Lighting: The bedside lamps- Target. the Chandelier and sconces, are original to the house, I spray painted them and rewired them and got new globes.
URBAN OUTFITTERS CHANDELIER
Bedding: Navy Comforter was a Birthday Gift from her Grandparents from PB Teen, Target Shabby Chic white quilt and shams bought on sale at Target, Lilly Pulitzer Bed skirt bought on sale for $19.99 at Garnet Hill.
I made the pink shams, The decorative pillows, some I made and the rest were Birthday gifts from PB Teen.
…the sweet little Hot pink bedside table (below) was part of a three piece bedroom set that I got on the curb across the street, all 3 pieces – $40! Wait until you see what I have done with the dresser – future post!
Her Bed immediate Post makeover…
After we removed the wall decals, we were stumped as to what we should replace them with. We were trying to decide what to do for over the bed and “ah ha!” we remembered and it sealed the deal!!!!
The Audrey Hepburn framed Poster has been mine for a while.
and we LOVE Audrey and Tiffanys.
Updates:

You were definitely right about loving this room!!! I mean, you have pink furniture! Enough said (c: And I’m a huge Audrey fan…she is the most classy lady and has the best movies! So much to love, so little time!
What a beautiful room-from the cornices to the “new” bed, the color palette..I love it all!
Thank you!!! You are so sweet. I LOVE Phoebes room. Even a year later, it still makes me smile every single time I go in. And when the clothes are all over the floor and the furniture it STILL looks cute!!

Beautiful! Where did you get the chair?
Thanks, I got the chair at a local consignment store and had it reupholstered…xo
What color yellow did you use for the hutch/bookshelf? I see you have a link to what looks like that project/that work but the link isn’t working for me. Thanks so much in advance!
I am re-doing my 2 year old girl’s bedroom right now in navy and pink. I wasn’t sure which shade of pink would be okay, but you have given me inspiration and I think I can do a few different shades. Thank you!
[…] I can’t seem to locate this original source (if you know please tell us)! Great contrasting patterns that don’t clash… they kind of go – especially in a fun space that looks perfect for a young gal. Playful fun! – updated by a fabulous reader – here! […]
You are amazing designer/ decorator. Your daughter’s room has inspired me towards a specific design for my new baby boy coming in Feb.
I love the blue wall & the white. What I thought that I could do to modify it was add the white chevron stripes and then accent color be primary green. Or I could do the walls in a grey?? I would LOVE your feedback/ ideas about it
