a couple of months ago, i finally got around to making over kate's bedroom from a toddler-looking room to a big girl room. a double bed is now in place of a twin bed. i switched to white furniture instead of natural wood color. and of course, i sewed all of the pillows, curtains, tableskirt, bedskirt, etc.
i found the head board, which is very pottery barn-ish, in bad shape at a thrift store for $5! i sanded it, replaced some of the wood spindles, and spray painted it white and it's as good as new.
kate's room is the hottest in the house during the summer, so i had to line her curtains with black-out fabric to reduce the light and heat coming in the windows. i couldn't find a pattern i just loved, so i did it without any pattern and it turned out perfect, much to my surprise! the curtains are full-length roman shades with pom-poms at the bottom and large ties for detail.
here are the fabrics i used, some from fabric dot com and others from custom baby boutique dot com.
unfortunately, i did not take "before" shots, but here are the after shots!
