Big Girl Room Makeover for Quinn and Avery!
Since both of our girls were ready to be in “big girl” beds we thought it was time to finally give their room a makeover! When we had Quinn’s nursery, we were completing our first big addition on the house, so we made her room cute, but not completely styled. Then when the twins were born, we had JUST finished our second big addition. Literally 2 days before they were born we moved our bed into our new master bedroom, so their rooms never really got the complete decorating treatment I wanted.
When quarantine hit, we started thinking about switching both girls to a big bed and came up with our new design plan for their room! Before I start decorating I come up with a “Design board” which is basically just pictures of things I want for the room. It helps me decide the style I want and the overall look. Before I show you the whole makeover- let me show you what we started with!!
What we started with!
“Before”
This is what it looked like when we bought it! Outdated and plain, plain, plain.
This was the “during”
Like I said, we never fully decorated the girls room because we had just finished 2 major additions on the house and added 2 major additions to our family (THE TWINS)
The Design Plan
Quinn and Avery’s Room Makeover Design Board
The Finished Product
As you could tell from the “before” and “during” pictures the room was veryyy plain. The first thing it needed was some interest. We added bright white board and batten to the whole room to help the room look less like a flat little box, plus we have that trim in other parts of our house so it flowed perfectly!
Then I used the “wildflower” print as a jumping off point for the design of the room. We went with light pinks, preppy blue and white elements, and a little big of glam, with the tufted day bed and gold accents. I love the way it turned out! It feels like a room that fits them now, but they could also grow into.
