Very Creative!!

Wow, this room is beautiful, makes me want to update my daughter's space.

Nice, she must love it.

Such a sweet room.

adorable! great ideas - mom's of little girls.... go for it!

Excellent work.

I like your creativity, but don't like the colors.

so whimsical love it!!!

I don't see how it could be any cuter. And I love the colors.

It's adorable and perfect to grow with!

i love it!

painting that dark wood trim white made an amazing difference. Nice room.

such a great idea to replace the closet doors with the colorful curtains. A wonderful re-do!

So cute! And I might have to whip up a few terry cloth pillows now. What a great idea!

What a wonderful transformation! Great example of how a little money can go a long way with just a little bit of creativity, paint and elbow grease!

awesome! love it!

How do you make a valance like that?

Wow! Amazing transformation! Adorable!

You did an amazing job and love it more that you spent so much less than most would pay.
I love decorating like this and it shows you have exquisite taste!!

How beautiful! I'm inspired (and a bit jealous).

I like it, very cute.

Oh WOW, beautiful...I was shocked! Great site with great designers, very inspiring!

Love it and love the colors! I just wrapped a BD gift for my favorite 4 year old little girl and those are the colors I used. This room would make any little girl smile!

Very nice..

super cute!!! great job :)

Very nice!!!!

I love it. What a fabulous place to be a girl. I love the idea of the table and chairs.

Lovely, but I do not understand sticking furniture into closets, that part seems a bit foolish.

Beautiful. Flowers are well done and I really like the idea of painting on on the wall for a headboard - smart!

This is amazing. Proof that you don't need a fortune to create a beautiful space. Imagination and creativity are priceless.

dannielleb, there is another closet in the room (3 separate closets) 2 of them were wasted space. Would have loved to have removed the walls into the closet but with the limited budget we made the 2 into a dressing up and mock up stage area.

Now here's an example where a painting behind a headboard looks just great!

When I was 13 and permitted to have my own "princess phone", I asked as well if I could remove the sliding doors to my closet and make it my "phone booth". Mom & Dad agreed and what a great cozy space I had with my long corded phone to lounge and chat! THAT'S why it is great to have furniture in a closet or to use a closet for a cozy nook!

AS for valances: They can be permanent structures very sturdy and complex made of wood, upholstered/padded and bolted to the wall with brackets, or they can be a project that takes some skill with a mat knife and some 1/2 " foam core, fabric & staple gun. Karen made quick ones like this for Veronica's room when she was born almost 18 years ago. They were secured to the wall with 2" long bank pins ( any well stocked display shop or craft place has them, they are thin and easy to hammer in without making large holes in the wall). The beautiful fabric was repeated in the bed skirt and skirted table. They were deep enough so that there was really no need for blinds or curtains (the tree cover was thick at this level of the house). They are still in place today as Veronica starts packing to leave for University. So quick, relatively simple, long lasting and light! Just clean with one of those dry sponges or a lint roller.
