Blah to Bam! Vi's room make-over

Since Vi is going through a transformation of her own from little baby to big girl, we decided it was time for her room to see some changes as well. This room was pretty blah when we moved in the new house with tan carpet and tan walls, and when I purchased the tan curtains.... it definitely looked like a big tan blob - but we had plans in mind!

We had originally painted and re-purposed the entire dresser and shelves, and then realized that the drawers were warped and would not work. So..... I used burlap to create a front cover and bought some hardware that matched the hardware on the curtain rods for the extra drawer placed on top of the original dresser. Using the burlap to cover the front allowed us to still use the shelving on the inside of the dresser.

The biggest change is the wall color - PINK it is for our princess!

I made the French Memory Board for some of Vi's creations from an old canvas wrapped in burlap. Just to give it a "gallery" feel, I also framed some mini postcards of the Degas dancers.

Paw's old bed gets a coat of white paint, too! We do not have a large budget for extras, so we definitely re-purposed as much as possible, and it has all turned out beautifully and just the right size for Vi!

We will eventually purchase this wall decal and finish our girly/outdoor/Luxembourg Gardens theme in Vi's room. I'm hoping this will make her want to sleep in there, instead of in Mommy and Daddy's room.
