Victoria's Room...Then & Now

 Hi there friends...
I can't believe it took me so long to post this makeover...We worked on this way back in July!!
~~~
Victoria asked if we could make some changes in her room over the summer...how could I say no...I LOVE change!
~~~
Let's have a look... 
 
The canvas with her name on it I picked up at the Country Living Fair back in June.
~~~
 We kept the wall color (it's her favorite color) that made my job much easier!
Here's a BEFORE with her trundle bed...
 Now the AFTER with the pretty cane headboard I found at the indoor flea market...
She wanted a more "grown up" room. 
She's 8 going on 16!! She tries to keep up with her teenage sister and brother!
 Sorry this is the only before photo I could find of the headboard before I painted it in AS Old White.
I ordered this cute pom pom pillow from Pottery Barn.

 Her NUMBER ONE request was pom poms...so pom poms she got! 
~~~
I bought the colorful paper ones in Hobby Lobby along with the cute polka dot ribbon to hang them and then her Big Sis put them together for us...for the life of me I can't figure out how to open those things up!
  One more BEFORE...
 And AFTER...
 She's so happy with her new room and all the 
"big girl" touches that were added!
I'm still working on one more piece for the other side of her room so stay tuned!

    How cute!! The mermaid art and the flowers over the bed are so fun. I bet she just loves it. That new bed is perfect too.

    All grown up...Too soon... Funny how they want to be older ...then when your older you wish you were younger.

    It's so pretty! It really does look like a young teenagers room. She must be very mature. I love the pom pom pillow with her monogram on it and I love all of the fun bright colors used. That room will grow with her for many years.

    Love that headboard, Martina! I wouldn't mind one like that for my bed. Great pillow, too. The pom pom trim worked out great since she requested pom poms.

    You did a great job and unless she wants another change that should serve all those pre-teen years and beyond. I love all the pom-poms. They are so cute and I love that bed cover and quilt, too. It looks wonderful!!! xo Diana

    Martina, I love it! And it looks like she has lots of storage space, too. My middle daughter just started high school, so we're going to work on her room. She needs a good study space. Have a great weekend.
