My Pretty Filter - Bedroom Update

I've been gradually doing bits and pieces to R's room now since the beginning of February.  Due to my physical limitations it's taken longer than I'd anticipated and to be honest I've found it quite frustrating at times... my personality is such that I just want to crack on and get it done!

 Anyhow, the walls and ceiling have now been painted.  Furniture has been relocated.  The end is in sight!  The majority of things left to do are the things I most enjoy - the 'making it really pretty and individual'.

The room has shifted from a pale pink paradise to a more funky emphasis.  It was last painted around 3 years ago and was a pastel pink (but rather cluttered) haven:


R chose the new colours herself - inspired by her dressing gown,

....and the colours from B & Q were shockingly bright when I was painting the walls! 


However, the colours have grown on me and although they're not my choice, I think it really suits her personality.  When I went in to school recently to look through her literacy work, it was interesting to see she'd written a piece on her room - writing that she 'felt safe' and 'it was comfy'.

Hope you've enjoyed a quick glimpse.  I aim to be back on Thursday next week with my 'Pretty Filter' ta-dah for R's room!  Lots of work going on behind the scenes - flags being sewn to a new canopy, wall stickers to go up and woodwork still to paint!

I'll leave you with some cakes we made together this weekend.
Thanks for reading - and WELCOME to my slowly growing band of followers!!!  Your time and comments are soooo appreciated.

    I can't show this post to my younger daughter or she'll be after me to overhaul her room too! Looking goo, and how wonderful to know your daughter already loves her room so much.

    Looking good, not looking goo. A gooey bedroom would be very bad indeed!

    My daughter has a very pink room too. I would like to paint it. I'm debating how much freedom to give her to pick the colours, because I would like her room to be a bit more calm feeling. She has major clutter issues. You are doing great work so far. Can't wait to see the results!

      If I showed you all the before pictures I took - you'd see that she had a major clutter issue too!! Trying to reduce it but so many loved memories attached to the bits!! She first chose a purple room (and I mean dark purple!) so I said maybe next time we do it!!!! J9 x

    Oh I love the color combo. So sweet and I love that she feels safe in her room. It should be her haven. I think it is going to be ever so cute. Can't wait to see it all finished! Thanks for sharing it with Share Your Cup. The cakes look awfully yummy!
    hugs,
