You may want to sit down with a cup of coffee or tea. I am sharing lots of photos with you all today.
Where do I begin????
These photos I am about to share show a room on a PERFECT day.
Let’s just say Mom’s dream day.
This is not the way the room looks everyday.
There were things my daughter still wanted in her room. But I don’t think they make a pretty picture. So for today I am sharing my dream bedroom on a good day.
I will share in another post what her room looks like on an average good day.
I thought it would be fun to re-decorate my daughters room.
Her walls needed a fresh coat of paint. And I thought why not make a change.
She gave me carte blanche to do what ever I wanted.
Yes she let me chose the color.
I decided to use the same warm white I have used in my home.
I had paint left over from painting my other rooms so no need for more paint.
The curtains are the same. They work well with her room and still look great!
The bed and dresser are new.
Originally I bought these to sell. But once I had them home I had to do allot of convincing to my daughter that after painting this bed and dresser this would look amazing!She trusted me 🙂 .
I used old white and old ochre (Annie Sloan paint)on the dresser and bed.
Old ochre is the all over color and just highlighted the details with old white.
I love the softness of the colors used together.
I already had the bedspread.
I was using it on the end of my bed. It is a Rachel ashwell quilt I found last winter on clearance for 10.00 at target.
That pretty roses blanket at the end of the bed was found years ago at a flea market.
That fringe pillow was found at homegoods for 16.00.
Another shot of the bed.
Isn’t this beautiful!I love the details !
That desk and chair were in my creative space I swapped her desk and chair for mine.
I think this desk looks better in here.
Now I have to repaint that desk.
Oh the painting never ends in this home!
This sweet little french side table was found at the thrift store.
Again originally I was not going to use this in here but sell it.
But I think it works really well.
I painted this the same colors at the bed and dresser.
This had stickers all over it.
I had to do lots of cleaning on this before I painted it.
This sweet little pink car was found at CVS pharmacy.
My daughters dream car someday.
This chandelier was found at Menards on clearance for 60.00.
She needed more light in her room.
Her room is quite large and those table lamps she has are not enough light for reading or doing homework.
She already had this Rachel ashwell vanity. I found it at a antique mall a few years ago. I can’t remember what I paid but it was much less than it was brand new.
I just added some new fabric to the bench.
I wanted to change that lampshade that I made. But she wanted to keep it just as it is.
This fabric is so pretty and retro looking. I found this at hobby lobby. It was just a scrap piece for 1.15. I still have a bit more I can use on another project.
Oh how I love this dresser! The details are so sweet!I added some fresh flowers on her dresser for the photos.
I really love the color of those daisies.
That is a towel bar I am using for her jewelry and an idea I got from a friend on how to display her earrings.
That was a table mirror.I just took the glass out and glued screen found at the hardware store to the back.
It is very pretty and makes getting her earrings very easy.
The roses were already on this.
I think it works great in her room!
Aren’t these sweet!
Perfect colors for her room!
One of my favorite photos!
It was taken a few years ago.
She takes Jazz dance this was her recital photo.
Both frames were found at the thrift store.
I just painted these with old white and sanded them a bit.
I hung the larger frame over the smaller photo.
I love this look and use frames this way allot.
Because I am on a budget having a electrician come to our home to add a box to hang the chandelier is not an option.
I just added a plug and used an extension cord. And a cord cover to hide the ugly cord.
I also needed some art.
So I decided to use my angel wings and frame I was displaying in my hall landing.
And yes that is a vintage bird cage stand.
Originally I was going to hang her chandelier from that hook. But decided she needed to have this hung higher for more light.
I found a flower ball at hobby lobby and decided to hang it from here using it as art too.
I want to make a banner that reads dream and add it to this.
Won’t that look cute!
And yes this was painted with Annie Sloan old white chalk paint.
I found this stand for 4.99 at the thrift store.
Love the details and curves of the bed!
Are you ready to see what this looked like before???
My daughter was appalled that I was going to share photos of her messy room.
Funny how they seem to suddenly care what there room looks like when you are about to share it with others!
I am just keeping it real!
Oh and this is after she cleaned it.
Some things never made it back into the room.And some did soon!
The big splurge was her light fixture.
With the exception of some small supplies for her earring holder,fabric,and flower art I used what I already had in my home.
Her old bed and dresser are going to the shop to be sold. So the cost of those pieces will be a wash.
She is very happy with her French chic room. As I am too!

LOVE that bed! Your daughters room is so lovely, I’m sure she is so happy with it.
Hi…so love your daughter’s new french room. My younger daughter lives at college but I am still tweaking her room. I don’t think we are ever ‘done.’ Question….this might be a crazy thing to ask but when you hung the larger frame over the smaller one, did you keep the glass in the larger one? You can’t tell from the photo but I was curious. Thanks for sharing the photos! Susan
Thank you Susan! No not a silly question at all.No I don’t have glass in front of the larger frame just the smaller one.

Beautiful job Anne!! Love that fabric on the little stool, love all the furniture and the colours all blend and look soothing and lovely.
What I love most about decorating on a budget is that you have to search all sorts of places to find things – and you’ve done such a marvelous job of finding special pieces and little touches that work together.
Well done!!
Thank you so much!You can do allot with very little!

Anne
How wonderful that your daughter gave you permission to go for it! It’s really beautiful, and you did a fabulous job on pulling it all together, the bed is just perfect!
Yes I was lucky that she let me do that.It was fun doing what I wanted to do.Not easy sometimes with a teenager.But she is very happy with the results!

Anne
Beautifully imagined and completed! You inspire me with what you have done on a budget! I, too, love to shop at thrift stores and love to repurpose items I find, isn’t it fun! I especially love the calmness of your decorating!

Your daughter’s room is just dreamy! The bed an dresser will grow with her and become family heirlooms. The pink floral throw and pale pink crystals are pretty feminine touches, and I love the retro look fabric on the bench! And I can’t forget the retro pink car! Gorgeous makeover, Anne!
Thank you so much Vickie!

Anne
BRAVO!!!
Bet this makes it into a magazine spread, seriously.
LOVE it.
Wow thank you so much for your sweet comments!
xx
Anne
What a great deal on the chandelier! Are the crystals sightly pink or is that just a reflection? I love how you hide the cord–makes it look pretty. I also loved the framed angel wings. What a gorgeous room!
What a lovely and feminine room for a young lady. I especially like the french inspired chair fabric.
The room is so beautiful!! The furniture is wonderful! I adore the small touches of pink spread throughout the room! The quilt on the end of the bed is so pretty and it sure was a steal! I hope your daughter loves it as much as I do!
Thank you Lisa! It was fun decorating her room!It is the first room I see when I walk up the stair and it makes ME smile every time I see it.And my daughter is in love with it too!

Your daughter’s room is just darling. I think the earring holder is just perfect and I may have to borrow the idea. I love the colors of the room and all of the little touches. We are hoping to redo my daughter’s floor next and I am hoping for a color change too. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much! Yes borrow it I did not think of that idea.But a friend did and I have seen similar ones in stores since she gave me that idea.Happy weekend to you too!

Anne
Hi Anne,
I so would have kept the furniture as well, you did a beautiful makeover and certainly a room to love. As for your daughters dream car, it’s a beauty and what a dream to have….perhaps she to will follow your rad in creating beautiful furniture pieces to sell and will have saved enough to buy the car of her dreams.
Love her room, and I am sure it looks totally cute when it is well lived in. As for my daughter I don’t have much say in what goes into her room, she loves her French cottage look, and will ask me to add something or change up something, if I am creating something for the shop, she at times will say can I buy that from you mom, and of course that’s my que to be able to add it to her room.
Now she wants me to change the colour of the old paint on her iron bed to white, chippy and distressed like I just did to my old iron paint finish on my bed that was tired and looking a bit to khaki looking. Will see how the month goes and I will get onto it unless she changes her mind.
You have created a room for your daughter that both you and her can love.
Xox
Hugs, hearts, and kisses.
Doré
Thank you so much!Oh you are lucky too that your daughter loves your style!French cottage is perfect!

Anne

Anne, this was the first post I read this morning (yes, while having my coffee) What a lovely way to start the day, looking through the photos of your daughter’s pretty new room. You did a wonderful job and I always appreciate a beautiful room that didn’t cost a fortune 🙂
Your daughter will always remember how hard her mom worked to give her a wonderful space!
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Jeanette
Thank you so much Jeanette!Glad you had your coffee in hand 🙂

Thank you Leslie!Happy weekend to you too!

Anne
Anne,
Oh this came out so pretty. I bet your daughter just loves it. I love the simple whites with the soft punches of color. Very feminine. It makes me miss when my girls were still living at home and decorating their bedrooms . You truly did a great job.
Kris
Thank you so much Kris!

Anne
Your daughter’s newly decorated room is so pretty! Looks nice and peaceful.
Thank you Lynda!

Anne,
The room makeover looks OUTSTANDING!!! All the painted pieces are beautiful and your daughter is one lucky girl.
Blessings,
Linda
Thank you so much Linda!

Anne
Wow…Anne, you did a great job with this makeover on a budget. I love the bed and isn’t it funny how Mom’s seem to have an idea for their daughter’s room, but the girl’s themselves think differently. I’m sure we never did that to our Moms…hehehe!
We did a makeover on my oldest daughter’s room last Summer(some things still not hung or finished, better get on that) and now it’s time for my youngest’s room. We seem to differ a little bit on how things should be…..wish me luck!
xoxo
Kathleen
Thank you so much Kathleen! That is the highest compliment I could have! Your style is amazing you always inspire me!
Yes I was lucky she let me do what I wanted.Oh I hope your daughter will let you work your magic in her room.I know how beautiful it will be!
