Pink and Green Fairy Girl’s Bedroom

This nursery is shared as part of the Real Reader Rooms series sponsored by
The Land of Nod.

Sarah from Frills Fluff and Trucks shared her son’s moon and stars bedroom and now we’re getting a peak at her daughter’s pink and green fairy theme bedroom.

Sarah: My little girl moved into this room when she was two and moved out of the nursery.  My husband and I taped and painted the walls ourselves–I have a history of liking designs that require vast amounts of painters tape.  She has been in this room for five years and she still loves pink and fairies, so I’ve been lucky!  However even though she had been in here for five years, I’m still not done decorating.  We live in earthquake country and I still haven’t found anything I’m comfortable hanging at the head of her bed, so you will see that wall is empty! I absolutely love the look of the bookcases (there are two, one on either side of the window) and the dresser around the window.  It is a look that works really well in this SMALL bedroom while still containing a lot of storage.

Sarah: The white four poster bed was my bed when I was a little girl and I found the bedding and valance on eBay.  The fairy wall prints as well as the light switch cover also are from eBay and were done to match the bedding.

Sarah: This “display” of hairbows is how I store many of my daughter’s bows–they are clipped onto a french memo board for easy access.  It is a bit hard to tell, but there are more clipped onto a ribbon that is hanging to the right of the memo board…and yes, there are MORE in the basket on the top shelf of the bookcase.  My daughter is known for her bows as they are not a common accessory around here–she just adores them though.

Sarah: My daughter LOVES this dollhouse bookcase–I keep asking her if I can replace it with a desk and the answer always is an emphatic NO!

Sarah: This is the fourth wall of her small room–just a small wall with a shelf and a super comfy Dutailier glider from her nursery days.  I planned ahead with this glider and even bought the exact same glider for my second child–someday I’ll put both gliders in the master bedroom or in the family room.

Sarah: On the wall above the shelf is a wreath I made for her last spring.  Basically it is a beaded garland wrapped around a foam wreath form (and hot glued to prevent slippage) then spray-painted.  I also made the Princess sign that hangs from the shelf–that is just a wood sign that I found for $1 at a craft store and painted then hot glued on a white ribbon for hanging.

Sarah: Above her door is a sweet little wood sign that I bought on etsy.

Sarah: When I redid this room, I knew I had to have my husband put in a really girly chandelier.  I love the one I found–it has just the right amount of faux crystals and of course the pink shades are perfect for my girly girl!  I bought it online at Destination Lighting, but it was long enough ago that it no longer is sold there.  Still, I highly recommend finding or making a chandelier if you want the ultimate in girliness for your daughter.

Sarah: I love adding little details to her room and she is beginning to add a few of her own touches as well as time goes on.

Thanks for sharing your daughter’s beautiful room, Sarah! Love that it is growing with her and that you continue to add personal touches.

    I love the chandelier too and completely understand why she won’t let you move out the doll house bookshelf. That’s something I’d want in my room forever…like come back home from college to my old room forever, not have in my master bedroom now forever.

    Love it! Beautiful room. I’ve also gone with the pink and green theme for my daughter and I’m hoping she will like it as she grows older! And I’m about to go install the ultra-girlie chandelier that I just bought for her room this past weekend at Ikea!

    Thanks, ladies! I really love her room too–and Malia, I was just trying to get her to let me put it in her closet, not trying to get rid of it all the way. I really like that dollhouse bookcase too! :)
