Bedroom makeover - Phase two

No crafts this past weekend. My sewing machine remained untouched, no glue gun, no pretty fabrics or ribbons.

Rewinding a little... we started with this

 




As soon as the new wallboard was ready, so was I. Armed with paintbrushes, rollers and tarps and with my faithful iPod, I attacked the blank canvas.

 


The best part was the reveal. 


I think she likes it!


There is still quite a bit to go until she can move in: closet makeover, new baseboard, setup the furniture (that's the hubs' department) and in no particular order paint the trim, sew the curtains and decorative pillows and some more. We have a few more busy weekends before our little bug can move in. 

I'm taking a break though. First because I'm all sore from hours of painting, ad second because it's purse week and I need to finish my second entry...

  4. My little bug really loves it. She is impatient to move in.

    @Melissa : my daughter calls it the tinkerbell room
    @Morgane: I used some pictures of flowers I took a couple of weeks ago as inspiration and went free hand. I thought for a minute about projecting the pictures on the wall but I decided to keep it fun and cartoonish.

  11. Thanks for sharing your magical garden at A Crafty Soiree! Such a delightful bedroom and one that's sure to inspire. I know you're probably tired of painting but it was definitely worth it. I bet she feels a little like Alice in Wonderland. Hope you'll join us at the lastest one, that begins tomorrow!
