Brionys room makeover...

Ive been meaning to do this for awhile.....
Brionys room was badly in need of a little make-over....her tastes have changed...which happens as you grown older....and she needed a better desk space for study.... (not that she actually uses it much....most of her homework is done at the coffee table in the family room)

Anyway...... we have been chatting over the last weeks about the style she likes..... and I already had a few ideas in place.... and then with the newly finished quilt.....it seems like now was the perfect time to spring into action.....

So I was thinking to myself.....mmmmm...(tapping my finger to my chin).... this room could do with some paint.... hey...what about another feature wall.... yeah.... that would be noice... that would surely warm up the room..... so a few hours and a few un-lady like mutterings later.....tada.... nice warm brown wall.......we still loved the aqua so that stayed....(for now at least...hehe)

This shot was taken in the midst of the re-vamp...almost everything had been piled on her bed..... including the white stool which gets a makeover a little later in this post.... but it at least shows the wall taking on its new look...

Her desk and bedside table both got a coat of white gloss...... thank you to Mitch for applying the first coat....

we hung some Nanny inspired net curtains.... and I whipped up a fabric banner to hang over her bed.....
I recovered this tiny little stool in some lovely bright fabric.....
(in this shot it has a basket of homework books stacked on top of it....)
Hung a blackboard with a nice little message for when she gets home each day....
...and then stood back and thought.....Ahhhhhhh..... that feels good!
