Rachel's Big Girl Room






After months of bargain shopping, I think I am finally done with Rachel's big girl room. That's pretty much what I have been doing with my spare time. It's funny because I never realized how girlie I was until I decorated a little girls room. I found this material on line called 'Polly goes to Paris' and used it to make the pillow and cover the chair. My Mom was awesome enough to sew for us. I had fun recovering the chair and used the fabric as inspiration to customizing some vinyl (Ellemenopea.com). I saw some wire flowers at anthropologie and stole the idea. I used wire from Home Depot and created my own to put above her headboard (they look cooler in person). Kevin painted stripes on the accent wall by using clear semi gloss paint. He taped and then just painted over some of the existing paint. Overall Rachel, Kevin and I are happy with the results!
