Olivia's Big Girl Room

Even though I had this in mind for months now, the fact that Olivia will have a little sister has solidified my decision to paint her room pink. She'll eventually share the room with her sister - so pink it is! I didn't want to put too much money into this because 1) its for a 2 year old and 2) we will eventually put two small twin beds in here. But I love the black and white / Kate Spade look, but with blush walls. 


Olivia's Big Girl Room



We have the white bedding and the dresser. I bought that curtain on clearance from Target. The pillows I can't find anywhere and think I will have to have them custom made. We have a small kids chair in that room already, and are thinking of slipcovering it (I found a place that can make a black one, but no patterns). Dan and I are still debating whether we should have a larger chair, or whether we even need a chair in her room. 

I plan to frame pieces of her artwork above the bed to add some other color in the room. That room currently has two small bedside tables and a lamp. I'd like to keep as little furniture as possible, assuming she will get out of her bed and play all night long since this chicka sleeps about as well as her mama. But she might like having a lamp and water by her bed. 

A few things are still up in the air, but putting my thoughts in polyvore really helped me visualize the room. Hoping to have it painted and set up shortly, and then start talking up how cool her big girl room is. Right now, she does not want to leave her crib. And I don't want her to either! She's trapped and not waking us up all night long. But we do have to make room for her sister, and I want her used to the new room so she isn't sad giving her old room and crib to the baby.

  1. I love this!! You can never go wrong with black and white :) I love the patterns you picked and the blush walls will be so pretty. That's smart to get her room ready early so she's got time to get used to her new space. I searched striped pillows on etsy and found some fun options that could work for you: https://www.etsy.com/search?q=black%20and%20white%20striped%20pillow and these for personalized black/gold pillow options https://www.etsy.com/search?q=personalized%20black%20and%20gold%20pillows
