In addition to converting our guest room into a playroom/office, we are also in the process of converting our girls' bedrooms into "big girl bedrooms" and have been going back and forth for months trying to decide what bedding, furniture, and accessories to get them. Here are some of the top considerations:
and a few others (not from PBK). But one of my girls is obsessed with pink and for a long time the other one was obsessed with purple, but recently started being obsessed with green, and since pink and green are also their bedroom paint colors (but the opposite of the girl who is obsessed with the color, of course!) and we don't want to repaint their walls, we want bedding that will match their current paint colors. We also have pretty (not overly) modern rooms, which we want to continue, and since the above choices are not very modern, we kept looking.
Here are their current toddler rooms:
The Green Room:
The Pink Room:
And here are the big girl bedding sets we ended up purchasing:
For The Green Room:
(with plain white sheets from Target)
For The Pink Room:
Land of Nod Floral Bohemian Bedding (no longer available)
(with light green sheets from Target)
And I, for one, could not be happier with them! They are girly, but not childish, modern, but not overtly so, include their favorite colors, and coordinate with their paint colors. Perfect!
A few weeks ago we purchased this dresser for The Green Room:
and moved the IKEA EXPEDIT unit from that room to the playroom/office closet for more storage in both rooms, so that is another reason why we wanted more modern bedding (we plan to keep this dresser in this room, obviously). We will also keep the rug, curtains, and some of the accesories in this room. Another new thing we purchased for this room is this print:
(which could not be more perfect for her!)
For the pink room, we will keep the curtains, rug, and most of the accessories. But both girls are getting one of these:
(made by their grandpa (how cool is that?!)(will be painted white))
And to finish it all off, custom made headboard like these:
(but in solid colors that match their new bedding sets)
I think it will all look great when finally put together! I will post photos when that happens...
PS - I do intend to publish posts more than once a week! Hopefully several this week since it's a short work week for my hubby, a holiday, and a long weekend! Hope you all have a great week!
