My Daughter’s Vintage Bedroom Makeover

A vintage Girls room with painted twin beds, a pink and gold color scheme and easy DIY artwork.

 

I am back today to show off my daughter’s room, now that it is all finished up! I already showed you her beautiful new bedding in this post here last week, and now I’ve put all the decor touches on the space.

You may have seen her room previously here {shown below}. While I still love the pink and gold decor in her room, once we added another twin bed in the space to be extra sleepover-friendly, I figured if I was going to have to paint the new bed, why not give them both a new fresh color?

{before}

This time I painted the beds using Amy Howard’s One Step Paint in the color ‘Tick Tock’.  The color is dreamy–I knew as soon as I opened the paint that I’d found the color for my laundry room cabinets (and maybe anywhere else I can find to put it, it’s that good!), it is the prettiest fresh blue/green color. The paint was so easy to work with, it covered amazingly well, and the beds now look fantastic despite being decades old. I also used a coat of the Amy Howard wax so they are not only protected but have a nice polished finish too. Side note: Christy and I met Amy Howard at The Haven Conference last year, she is just lovely!

I still adore the ‘sweet dreams’ pillows in the space {you can see them in the first few pictures} and keep them on her bed most days, but they do hide the fun pattern on her pillow shams.  My Mom made those pillow shams for her during the last update so I wanted to be sure to keep them, they match the bed paint color perfectly and add some fun pattern in the space.

I don’t know if we’ll keep the dollhouse in between the beds forever. I moved it there to give her more space to play with it and I love how it looks between the beds. I need to tell you about the dollhouse, as my great-grandfather built it for my Mom when she was very young. It has been touched up throughout the years, which makes it even more special to me. Before it was gifted to me when I was five, my parents wallpapered the rooms in it using leftover wallpaper from the house we we living in, so in it I have a keepsake of the wallpaper in my childhood room–how sweet is that? Before we gave it to my daughter for her fifth Christmas, my sweet eighty-year old great-uncle painstakingly glued thousands of the shingles to the roof so to say it is special would be an understatement. My daughter was only a few minutes old when my Mom and I looked at each other and said, “she’ll get the dollhouse!” to give you some idea how relieved I was– after having two boys–to have someone to pass this down to. Sadly, she’s rapidly outgrowing it, but I’m keeping in her room as long as she’ll have it!

Much of the room essentially stayed the same, which made this refresh easy. You’ll note that I still haven’t painted the walls, but the room has so much color in it that the builder white doesn’t bother me. Of course the fun gold polka dots {you can get those here} make a big difference in jazzing up the space, this would really work as rental decor, as I really haven’t made any lasting changes in the space.

This corner still has her Art Board and next to it is her closet {which is obscenely huge and could be made into a really fun space should I ever decide to tackle it}, and next to that is a space where I’ll eventually put a desk for her. I am still looking for just the right one, but I imagine I’ll paint it the same light blue color as the beds.

On the other side of the room is the dresser we added for her last year, it holds a ton of clothes which I imagine will be a good thing as she approaches the teenage years! It was an auction find, I simply painted it white and sprayed the existing handles gold.

The tissue poms that hang over the beds are an easy DIY or you can order a kit HERE. I still have her chandelier from her pretty room in our lake house but we don’t have a junction box here. At some point I’ll get one installed, but for now we just have switched tabletop lights, so I think the poms make up a bit for the missing chandelier. The art on this side of the room is just simple vintage Barbie prints I put in pink craft store frames.

We broke in the new beds with a major sleepover last night {so yes, I am a little tired today 🙂 } but the girls said the room is fully approved for just such occasions, so I imagine there will be plenty more to come.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

XO,

Amy
