LITTLE GIRLS FARMHOUSE BEDROOM REDO // pretty new bedding and lots of diy-ness

April 24, 2017

WELL HELLO ALL i'm staring at this blank post like whhaatt dooo i wrrriiittteee. Because I'm still doing camp nano and HAHA words are becoming harder to use now o.o ALSO IM TIRED cuz all day yesterday Sarah and I worked on re-doing her bedroom so you'll be seeing another bedroom post sometime soon 

NO IM NOT OBSESSED WITH PAINTING WHY DO YOU ASK 

so lets talk about the bedroom k. Basically BEFORE the room had carpet, the closet had a door, the walls were covered in random things, and they had different bedding. duh.

Sarah and I decided that the closet would be a really cool place to turn into a book nook or dress up area or play kitchen for the girls, so we asked my dad to take the door off AND IM SO GLAD WE DID + to save them from monsters 


also the room may look super empty??? well that's cuz we took these pictures before we moved everything else in - like the bookshelf, the keyboard, nightstand, lamps, etc. I felt like the clean look of it was really aesthetically pleasing so I was like LETS TAKE THE PICTURES NOW

also I have no patience. Yeah, that was why I did it then. lol 

It was actually one of the easiest of bedrooms to re-do. Except the floor had two holes in it cuz you see this is a super old farmhouse and those gas heaters were once in all the bedrooms. They're such a pain to fill uhhhgggg. and wood filler? BLECK SUCH GROSS STUFF and it takes 10 billion years and a day to dry.


My little sisters looovveee the room - though I really think they liked the fact that they got to have sleepovers our rooms while it was being done. 

them: "do we get to stay up late and eat popcorn and watch movies" 
me: *shakes head*

OH and the bedding? I found those at the store - brand new - for like $10 each. I was like YUUUUSSS THESE ARE ADORABLE. honestly I want the blue one for myself but oh well 


well I'm off to go move everything back into Sarah's room (it's all in mine right now and omw its like WHERE IS THE FLOOR) and I am heading to the library sometime today so ANY BOOK SUGGESTIONS GIMME GIMME GIMME thx

THOUGHTS ON THE BEDROOM?

  1. Blue bedding, by far. I'll jump on that boat with you, Julia!
    Okay, bedroom re-dos just rock in general. And ever since I started following you, you have such ambition and perseverance. A lot of the time people just start projects and never finish them...a round of applause for you!!
    Okay, book suggestions...ummmmm...you see, I don't know if I should suggest any because you may not like them and be like 'Oh. My. Goodness she has HORRIBLE taste in books'. (And I'm crying: 'I doooon't!!')

    Lol,

  2. I just died a little inside. I have a slight obsession with interior design/decor, and I'm just a sucker for these kind of projects XD The room looks fab! I've really been wanting to fix up my sister's room... but they're so destructive, they can't even have the dresser in their room... it's only for their comfort that they have the beds in there. If my father could, he'd probably strip the room to it's walls and carpet xD

  5. Ooh, I love redoing rooms! My sister Megan and I redid our rooms a while ago and I still absolutely love it. ♥ Those bedcovers ARE pretty, and it's a great idea to use a closet as a book space!
    As for book suggestions, well... you asked for it. XD The Mysterious Benedict Society, The Spark, Anne of Green Gables, Keeper of the Lost Cities, The Penderwicks, The Secret Keepers, At Home in Mitford, Watership Down, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, The Green Ember, Peace Child... ARGH I know of tons more but they always escape me when I'm writing down lists of good books. XD I hope you haven't read all of those!
