The PRINCESS Room!

Outside of a spot or 2 of paint touch up & printing pictures to fill the frames... its done!  Phew!  Took way, way longer than I anticipated, but I am absolutely in love with the results.  I'm pretty proud of this one!

Before any painting began, it was plain, white, boring.  Make mental note of the little white dresser & little lamps in this picture, they all get an upgrade too.
 Other wall before, and a glimpse of the awesome ceiling lights that are all over our house.
 Closet before.

During...
First 3 walls & the closet got a fresh coat of a pale grey & one wall got a bright raspberry pink color.
 Then came the entire day of stenciling.
 But it turned out pretty awesome!
 And a new ceiling fan, whose butterfly accents ended up as inspiration throughout the project. 
 Stumbled across some matching fabric & some must have curtain rods & clips.  Butterflies!

And viola!  The after!!
 We painted an old bedroom set & additional dresser in white. 
 Love how the dresser turned out!  Some painted $3 Walmart picture frames & DIY art.  Can you see the butterflies on the wall too?  And a board to hold all her school art projects as well.
 After 2 coats of white paint, I put a piece of lace across the dresser drawers & spray painted over them to give this stencil effect.  Super easy & turned out pretty cool.  Plus some awesome drawer pulls on her dressers found 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby.
Some old picture frames pulled out of a box got some pink ribbon to spruce them up.
 The other side has her Barbie house, bookshelf & toy storage.
Can you see her closet door knob?  I'm spray painting all the gold knobs oil rubbed bronze.  And I'm going to invest in some ORB hinges too eventually.
 Lamp!
 And welcome to her closet.  She is going to LOVE this space in about 12 years.
Dresser.  Fits like a glove, so well it looks like a built in. 
 Some bankers boxes & cute duck tape made some cute places to store too big & too small clothes.  Those diaper boxes are going to get painted or fixed up somehow yet too for storage.
 A mirror got some pink paint so we are ahead of the game before she gets old enough to fight her brothers for bathroom time.
A ballerina bow holder, again Hobby Lobby.  Love that place!
 Some Hello Kitty bins from the $1 section at Target & some old oatmeal containers covered with scrapbook paper & mod podge, hot glued onto cheap Walmart candle holders make some pretty cute hair accessory holders!
 And what else, but Hello Kitty wrapping paper to line all her drawers.
 The other side holds her clothes & shoes.  {And the top shelf is still a mess of stuff I have no where else to put at the moment.}
 And the bottom has a hamper & baby doll stuff.
 I think I did pretty good :)
 I think she likes it too!
 And so do the boys!  Ha, caught them playing Barbies!
 
One last look, before...
 After...
