Lavender Girl’s Bedroom for Spring

The first project I tackled this year was a mini-redo of my 10 year old’s bedroom.  She had been asking for a little update and part of her Christmas gifts was the promise to update her room with a new rug, new bedding and fresh paint.  I actually love how this room turned out and thought I’d share some of the details.

I wasn’t so sure about the lilac color my daughter seems to love all the sudden.  I actually don’t see a lot of options in purple as far as room decor and I wanted her bedroom moving more toward tween and not toward toddler.  I definitely didn’t want Dora the Explorer purple.  We tested out about six different shades of purple- once they are on the wall you can really see the pink undertones v. grey/blue undertones.  She lived with the samples for a day and decided on Winter Ice by Behr.

Next up was deciding if I wanted to keep the beadboard- this was actually the first project we ever did way back in 2008 and it isn’t our finest work.  I’d like to replace it with a much higher quality board and batten that is higher up on the wall. After going back and forth we decided to just keep it as is but give it a fresh coat of white paint.  I do want to add trim to the window and upgrade the builder grade trim around the closet and doorway in the coming months and I think that will make a big difference.

Anyway, the fresh coat of purple is so pretty and fresh and I really love it.  Her room is pretty small so the light color makes it look just a little bigger.

I updated the art as well to this printable from House of Belonging that I love.  Her frame is a 24 x 36 size from Michael’s and I can have digital images printed for $15 at Walgreens- so very easy to change up the art frequently.

Hoping she can keep her dresser looking neat.  I randomly change her quote depending on what is going on, right now keeping the room neat is a priority so hopefully Alexa can help with that.  😉

And last but not least, I bought the cutest stuffed animal at Anthropologie over the holidays.

I don’t normally look for or buy toys from Anthropologie but this little sheep pillow is the cutest and softest thing.  Would be absolutely perfect for Easter baskets this year.

I love how this turned out and it was really budget friendly.  This is what her room looked like before:

And here is the budget breakdown:

  • Paint and Supplies: $100 (lavender, white plus samples)
  • Rug: $55 (Black Friday sale)
  • Artwork: $27 ($12 digital print, $15 printing fee)
  • Lavender Blanket: $22 (Black Friday sale)
  • Faux Lilacs + Faux lavender basket: $35 (she has major allergies to fresh flowers)

Total: $239

Not bad at all!

Here are a few of the things I used in her bedroom:
