Remember way back in the beginning of March when I posted about my youngest daughter’s bedroom? Originally I was thinking an orange and pink look would be really spot on for her but when I asked her what she would pick for her room, she came up with pale pink and pale yellow. No offense to anyone who has these colors together but it reminded me of some bad 1980s decor. I was really just stuck on what to do in her room so I kicked her down to the basement with her sisters, cleared everything out of her room and then used my quilt that my grandma made me a long time ago as my inspiration. My grandma passed away almost 10 years ago this May so to have a piece of my grandma that I can share with my children and actually even use is special.
These two pictures were my main inspiration for this room, the first one was the color palette and the second picture reminded me of my quilt and had a vintage feel, which I liked.

Here is a refresher on what her room looked like before I started, lots of stuff taped to the walls, oak trim and doors, black, pink and white color scheme with “puke colored” walls as little A called them. We moved in last June and she picked out the zebra black and pink theme. Thankfully she was over it so I could make this room not look like Barbie at the zoo.
First of all, I would like to thank Wal-mart for being open 24 hours a day even though I really don’t like Wally world, buying paint at 11:300 at night did come in handy for this room. The color is Better Homes and Gardens 10742 Shallow Wading Pool.
The embroidery hoops are from Jo-anns and Hobby Lobby and were all around $1 each. The fabric in the hoops is from the etsy store and was $10 for a few squares of fabric that I used above her desk as well.
The bed frame came from E’s room and was originally white. A few coats of Rustoleum Warm Yellow gave me the pop of color I was looking for. The white coverlet is from Springmaid and can be found at Target for $70 but I found this one a bit cheaper on e-bay, $40. The bed skirt is also Springmaid and was a GW score for $7, currently $40 at Target. The pillow was $15 and I found it at TJ Maxx. This was the first purchase I made for this room and was my inspiration with the quilt.
The green table was a thrift store find last summer for $5, originally an ugly brown color nut now sporting this pretty green called Eden by Rustoleum.
The lamp is from Target and with a coupon was $13 for the shade and base. I bought the pom pom trim from Hancock Fabrics for $1. The clock is from Hobby Lobby for $7. Little A painted the cute little inchworm a few years ago.
The curtain fabric is from fabric.com and is by .
The sewing desk is from GW and I picked it up $7. The cool drum stool is from CL and was $20.
The corkboard is from Savers for $2, the fabric to cover it was $3.50. The clothespins I had already and used leftover fabric from the hoops to cover up some old pictures we had.
Little A drew a self portrait for her room and I added this drawing of a dog she did recently.
The letter A is a chipboard letter from Hobby Lobby for $1.50, I covered it with a page from a vintage nursery rhyme book.
The butterfly pictures are from Savers and were $2 each. I spray painted them with Eden by Rustoleum, same color as the nightstand.
The picture above her dresser was a GW find for $3.
Now for the “unfinished” portion of the room. The closet needs some work and I didn’t take the time to make it “picture perfect” as I needed to take the bub’s outside to play and he was tired of waiting for me.
Time for a few final pictures.
Her room is rather large and it feels kind of sparse in there but she likes to play with her barbie house and also her dolls so for now having the extra room to play is working out in here. I may find her a bigger dresser but that depends on how I work out her closet.
Things left to finish:
Gut and Paint the closet, add shelving and curtains or doors on closet
Find a bookshelf and/or bigger dresser

Ok, if you made it this far, Congratulations! This was a long picture heavy post! While typing up this post, I realized how much of her room was thrifted, ebay, etsy and a small amount came from Target. I really enjoyed shopping for her room and I am sure I’ll be adding a few more things here and there. The best part of the whole process is that Little A loves her room!

You did it again! It’s perfection Ange!!
Xx. Patience
This is beautiful!!!
Super cute! Love the wall color and the pop of yellow!!
The room is super cute. I love the covered letter and the fabric on the drapes and in the embroidery hoops is adorable. She must love her room.
WOW! It looks great. Love the colors and the different fabrics. You were so clever to cover the A with a page from a book.
You achieved what you were trying to do for sure!! It’s vintage, yet fun and updated at the same time. My favorite parts may be the bed color and the colors in the plates over it. Awesome job!
This is adorable! I love the vintage feel, the bright yellow bed and the fun fabric hoops above the bed. Everything looks amazing!
EEK!!!! i love it!! the colors are so fun and pretty and i love all the vintage touches!! love the letter A and love the curtains…. just love it all!!!!! fabulous job!
Aww, it’s perfect!! The quilt, the curtain fabric, the headboard. I want to nap here. Is that weird?
Cute room. Did she change her mind about the pale pink? I see yellow and blue but no pink to speak of.
LOVELY! I love the drum stool – I have never seen anything like it before! I am also loving the yellow headboard/footboard and the green table – great colors!
Too darn cute! I love the colors together and that sewing desk and stool is adorable. I bet your daughter is loving her new room!
My favorite thing about her room is that it started with the quilt your grandmother made! You’ve done a great job, Ange.
The whole bedroom is precious, but I’m about to die over that little brass stool and her desk!!!
It looks so amazing Ange!! You did such a wonderful job and the color palette is fresh and cheerful. I love the embroidery hoops with the fabric! You clever gal you.
I think the yellow bed might be my absolutely favorite part though!
Vanessa
Not only are you an amazing mom for putting such a fabulous room together for her, but wow are you a great bargain shopper! Every detail is beautiful and ties in with your quilt perfectly! That drum stool, I would have had a hard time letting her have that!

i’ll just bet she does
and is thrilled to bits with it

Love the new color scheme — and great work with the fabric art. I just finished my daughter’s room as well, and also put up some fabric on embroidery hoops. You can see them here
Oh my word, what an adorable room! I love all the little details! I can’t stop scrolling through them over again to ooh and aah. I especially love the letter ‘A’ covered in the old nursery-rhyme paper. SO adorable!
Ange, I am in LOVE with her yellow bed and the curtain fabric is darling. You did a great job in here. Our similarities are getting a little scary, but Mary has almost the exact same lamp in her room and also the embroidery hoop circles. You have impeccable taste my friend!
Cute to the 110%! What a change you’ve made and you never cease to amaze me with what you can do and your talent…….
This is groovy, Ange! Love it and good work!!!
love the colors!!! what an inspiring quilt! a fun post…love those thrift finds the best!
i am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
Love it!
A beautiful makeover. Your daughter must LOVE her new room. Very special.
WONDERFUL! What a great room you’ve created by pulling together different pieces that were all such thrifty finds. You’ve created a really cool, vintage look–great job!
Thanks so much for joining Grace at Home!
Oh I just love this room! How fun, and all the personality it has now. You did great girl!
Fabulous room! It is perfect – I love everything on the walls from the embroidery hoops to the goodwill art. The green table is adorable and yellow bed – very pretty.
Little A is one lucky girl – love all the vintage goodness! From the sewing table, to the bedside table to the fabulous yellow bed! This room rocks!
Love the nursery rhyme book letter too – great idea!
Kelly
Love your green side table! I see that style of table at garage sales and thrift stores all the time but they’ve never looked very interesting to me. It’s amazing what a little paint can do!!
Ange, it’s awesome! I love the bed…everything is beautiful!
Debbie
This is so adorable! Every detail is just perfect. You did such a great job
Wow, I just love this!! I want to redo my daughters’ room, and this is so inspiring, how you used so many inexpensive GREAT ideas!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I adore her room makeover! The details are amazing! The furniture, colors, that gorgeous quilt… Beautiful!
Ange, it’s so pretty! I love the vintage vibe it has going on with the sewing table and quilt. The colors are just lovely and I like the display over the bed. I wonder if you could find some battery operated candles that would fit into those candle holders just for fun.
I can’t believe how you crank out these whole room renovations with four young kids around!! Very impressive, lady!!
Happy weekend and look forward to catching up on my blog reading over here next week!
Ange, you have done such an amazing job! I’m impressed with all of the GW and CL finds. That letter A with the vintage page is just precious! I find it tough to strike a balance between vintage/collected and clean/fresh, but you’ve done it so beautifully here!
Oh my…this is one charming room makeover. Love the paint color…bed…lamp and fabric hoops. Would love to have you show it off at my Nifty Thrifty Tuesday party.
Blessings,
Linda
An amazing job! Such a sweet space and I love the soft vintagey look of the whole thing. Agree with domistiCate – it’s so hard to get that balance right so that it doesn’t just look like an old person’s room (I struggle with using too much ‘vintage’ because I’m afraid of that) but you’ve managed a fresh modern touch as well! Oh you’ve really done a brilliant job!
Gorgeous colours too!! xxx
I had that stool when I was young…..I guess I am not really old…just vintage!!! I love the room!
Fan-freakin’-tastic… I’m melting…
I love this! And you know what? My daughter has that same bed, except it’s white. My mom found it a yard sale when she was preggo with me (29 years ago!!). I used it all growing up and now it’s been passed down to my girl! =) I love the wall color too, it’s so pretty!
This is my first time visiting you, and your style is amazing! I love, love, love the room! The mix of patterns, colors, and vintage/repurposed pretties is awesome! I will be adding you to my Meaningful Blogs on my blog! I can’t wait to come back and visit!
BEAUTIFUL! I can’t decide what my favorite detail is – the yellow bed? The vintage fabrics in the embroidery hoops? That deliciously cute sewing table? It all came together just perfectly!
I want to totally mirror this room for myself!
Super awesome fabulous job!!! Love everything, so jealous that you have girls to decorate for.
That is so sweet and cute! I absolutely love the colors! I would love for you to share this (and any other creations) at Pin It & Win It Wednesday @ (open now!).
So adorable! We’re planning a special spot for you on this Friday’s features! Thanks for linking up!
Thanks for linking up, and… you’ve been featured!
3 words. Love.Love.Love.
I think I have found a new favorite blog, thank you! I used to have a bed such as yours displayed when I was a child (I’m 41 yrs od now) except mine was chocolate brown. Ewww.
I love your color choice MUCH better.
Beautiful makeovers!
Stunning. I love it all! She must be so thrilled with the space too. You have done an incredible job. I can’t even pick a favorite part – it all looks great!
Love all of the sweet vintage touches! Great room for any little girl!!
