Savannah has had a "big girl room" for quite some time now, but I never was thrilled with it. Perhaps it was because we were in such a rush to get her into her toddler room to prepare for (then) baby Caleb, but I wanted to freshen it up a bit. I had been given my grandmother's old furniture and decided it would be a good time to make use of it and have an excuse to makeover Savannah's room. I wanted it to be girly, but also to be something she could grow into, so I decided to go for whimsy shabby chic look. I had always been intimidated by distressing/refinishing furniture, but I decided I would take a stab at it. I went online to figure out what to do and did it piece by piece over a few weekends. That was step one. Next I had to put the color scheme together. I know what I like when I see it, but have trouble putting things together from scratch when it comes to come decor.
Lay Baby Lay to the rescue! I used her
"Pink Sunset and Tangerine Dreams" design template as a starting point and got what you see below. Enjoy!
Savananh's room before. Not bad, but a little blah; not very creative
Savannah's room after! I love it!
Love these cute little prints - all from etsy. Frames were less than $10 a piece from Michaels
Awesome blackout curtains from Jodi Stanford over at Jodi's Window Fashions from the fabric featured on Lay Baby Lay. Find her on Facebook! She is does amazing work, and is reasonable and quick.

Great job with the makeover! I love it! I've had so much fun looking at Lay Baby Lay since you told me about it.
I love how the room turned out!! The curtains look so beautiful, and I love the pink walls and the prints! I'm sure she is happy with her cheerful space. Thanks so much for letting me know about it!!
