I can't wait to put up the photos after I finish putting the room together! Right now I'm still choosing between wall decal or wallpaper :S

I would paint it all over too. Now you are really on your way! You've made the big purchase so hopefully the rest will be easier.

Thank you ,I love interior designing.I'm on a project right now for a family friend.What have you gotten done so far ?and I can help with the coordination of the furniture pieces or design

Could you Betsy? I've bought a desk, chair and bed so far Could you suggest some good positions for it? As well as some other furniture which can fit in the room?

Does anyone have the same bed? I'm having trouble setting it up!

Don't paint the green- that would be a great place to add wallpaper and baskets. Sorry I can't help with the assembly- I hate following instructions. https://www.houzz.com/photos/127th-street-project-traditional-home-office-wichita-phvw-vp~2548161

Did you YouTube the assembly? Otherwise give Ikea a call.

If you want to achieve the plush, vintage, and light feel in this room, first things first, pull off those blinds. The plastic dampens the feel of the room. Not sure if this is a rental, but if it is, you can easily install them again when you leave. Just install an airy white or lightly patterned drapery set complemented with a woven wood shade. Check out our woven wood shades here: http://www.blindsgalore.com/products.asp?id=window-shades/woven-wood-shades/ . You can order free samples to compare colors before you buy, they are custom made to your window, and we guarantee they fit and that you will love them, or you can exchange, no problem. Window treatments are a must in this room.

Then consider a bed with storage like the others have shown above. It will be a great investment and will double on storage. Consider adding shelves and a few picture frames on the wall in a designed pattern to reflect your daughters style. Also attached a diagram for building the "plush" look on the bed. Good luck!

Just saw bed you purchased, good choice. Here are more images.

anyone know how to put this together?

Well, yes ! They have to shape into a triangle. On one side of the bed (the one with the sideboard) you attach them with one end (on top of each other to the especially designed attachment. Screw in place. Then open up the other ends and attach to other side of bed.

Page 10 to 11 on this pdf should give you the clues.
I'm sorry. I'm not very good at explaining this malarkey. :/

Finally Finished!!
Happy with the result!
All I need to do now is buy some cushions!

It looks good! Is that the bedding you using? So cute! A great way to add cushions on a budget- make your own! Get new fluffy pillows, neutral pillow cases and then add your own embellishments and sew the pillowcases shut. Then just add a pillow or two for accent.

Way to go breannamay! Looks good!

How cute is this wall art?

Oh, that's very cute.

How cute is this wall art?

Why did it send both? Hahha

It is very cute. But I would be wary of the fact that it might a bit 'young' for a 15 y/o teenage girl. ???

It probably is. But Im not sure what is suitable.

hi, i love this thread, doing a similar project. found on etsy 9 photos of beach scene and framed in black bordered frames and hung in rows of 3 is perfect!! also found an idea online to sew five pillowcases together and fill with 5 pillows to make a body pillow to use on the daybed to make it loungy and fun!

I'd say that whatever she likes is suitable. I had the same thought about the tree/birds wall decal, that it might be too young. But you know... if they had a picture of it on a living room wall.... I'm just thinking that it may be the association with the child's room....

UPDATE: room looks like this, at the moment!

Better view

Such a nice and cozy bed. Are you going to do something different for the windows? This looks a bit 'hospital' like now. And she could do with a bit more softness I think. How about cream and soft pink pillows?

I have been thinking about you. Hope you are well away from the fires?

and maybe a sheepskin rug:

This rug could be really fun in the room.

Luckily I am away from the fires! The sun's orange where I live though and theres visible smoke! Its been so hot! Are you away from the firea?

I'm in the Netherlands, well away from the heat in your country ;-)
Hope they'll have it under control soon. It's so devastating to all the people and animals involved. Very scary. Stay safe :-)

Those butterflies are precious, A Crew of Two!

carolins, those thick, cushy rugs would really add a shot of texture to the floor. Great idea!

This is pretty for her wall.

breannamay, have you thought about putting a design on the foot of the bed that would coordinate with the design you choose for the wall? I don't want it to look like she's living in a cave, but a little something that ties into the wall design might be cute.

And here are some great options too, less pricey:

pinchfam, the pillow case body pillow would be so much fun for slumber parties. It could also be folded and be used almost like a beanbag. Gettin' ideas here!!

I'm thinking about how we can get your window treatment to look prettier. So... if you want to keep the vertical blinds, you could perhaps hide them behind (cheap) sheer curtains.
http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/70171927/

And then hang things from the curtain rod, like glass beads on long strings in front of the sheers, to give it a bit of bling and more interest.

Or... I'm wondering if you can dip-dye sheer curtains. That would be good. So they'll be white at the top and gradually get darker towards the bottom... Hmmm.... just brainstorming... don't know if cold water dye will hold on sheer fabric.

Thanks to the internet:

What about a Roman shade?

:-)

I was thinking that you could hang strings, similar to these but not as many, in front of simple sheer curtains. Or ineed dip-dye them.

I bought cheap bunk bed for my children on www.interbeds.com ... my two sons love it, Interbeds got really cheap bunk beds! I saw on their site, that they have got large selection of bunk beds, standard beds and mattresses, cheap prices and really high quality. Shipping is free, so this is a very good deal for me. Your doughter is too big to this beds, but maybe other people will benefit :)

carolins - any idea who makes those the dye curtains? i love them!

@pinchfam, you could try Anthropologie?
And if you do a google search for dip dye curtains, lots of diy tutorials turn up, but perhaps there's an Etsy shop that sells them?

i want something like the tumidie spa kinda thing, but i cant anything like that i can buy.... for my granddaughter... help

Gia, start your own dilemma. That will attract more attention than posting on this one :)

breannamay! Post pictures of your daughter's finished bedroom :))

Looks like we are gonna move to our backyard!

Unfortunately we have ceased all decorations as we will be moving to the back of out house when we have built a granny flat. We are at the designing the plan stage and we have no idea how to design her room. I was thjbking of building a small room similar to this for her room.

That would be great! Keep us posted!

Let her help decide on the decorating. I would avoid a hairy or long-pile rug because it is impossible to vacuum. Do girls still like to have a friend overnight? If so, a second bed or a trundle bed is a good idea.
