Decorating a girl's bedroom

The wedding was lovely - my niece said it was perfect. But I'm glad it's over. It's been quite awhile since I wrote about anything else.

Today I want to talk about decorating a girl's bedroom. I don't have any girls for whom I can decorate - yet. My niece has promised me that I can decorate her children's nurseries, and I've actually started collecting items for both a girl and boy. But in the meantime, I am using an Etsy treasury to plan a girl's bedroom. Even an imaginary room is fun to plan.

I have a quilt in my store that I think would look wonderful in a little girl's room. It is twin-sized and primarily has green, pink and turquoise in it. I wanted to come up with some different ideas for a girl's room using the quilt, so I made a treasury that features different color combinations and/or themes on each line to use with the quilt. I think it would be so much fun to give a child a budget and let them find items on Etsy that they want to use in their own room. They could make a treasury as I have to see if the colors work together. When I was young, my color sense was terrible. My clothes never matched and my sisters still tell the story of my father sending me back to my room in the morning to change clothes for school to something that looked better together. If I had the chance as a child to make a treasury and put colors together to see how they look, my color sense might have developed earlier.

So, this is the quilt in my store:

The first line in the treasury is a ballerina theme. There is art and a memory board for the wall and a swan lamp. I think the ballerina trinket box is adorable.

The second line is of items for an older girl. It has a mod feel to it with the turquoise and greens.

The third line is for a princess. Most little girls love the princess theme and I think these items work well with the quilt, even though you don't usually think of quilts in a princess-themed room.

The fourth line has a homespun look to it. The items are crochet and knit. I could see an older girl loving this look.

What's nice about choosing a quilt such as this is that the look can be changed as the girl grows older. While she may want a princess theme when she's young, the whole look of the room can be changed just by putting in different accessories and pillows and painting the walls.

I have another quilt in my store that I think would also work well in a girl's room. It's a bit larger so would work on a full-sized bed.
