Glam Girl Bedroom- High Bed & Pillows!

I wanted to give you another update on my daughter's room.

Here is the before:

And I can't say this is the "after" yet, because there are a few things

I am still looking for.  So here is the semi-after:

You know the history of the bedside tables and lamps....

I found the bedding at TJ Maxx, of course.

It's just a white, contemporary quilt.

Brandon and I just could not

stop with one fabric covered headboard.  So one night between one of our t.v. shows, 

we knocked another one out with the left over materials from our previous project.

I sewed the pillows myself, cuz I can, and found the fabric at

 JoAnn fabrics...again, I will say the women that work there like to get in my biz-ness.

  I never even approach them for help and they

are always suggesting stuff that isn't my taste and then they

turn their lip up a bit at the combinations I come up with.

{Side note: for my MN readers, the JoAnn in Apple Valley is the biggest in the 

state and they boast of the best selection of fabrics.}

Anywho...

Another thing we did was raise her bed with  2 X 6's underneath

her box spring.  This raises her bed height by about 4.5 inches.

It may be hard to tell in the pictures, but it adds another element to the 

room, making it less "little girl".  She will definitely be able to grow up 

with this room!

The only thing, when you raise a bed it makes your bed skirt

toooo short, like it has highwater pants on!  So, I had to add

4.5 inches of fabric to the bottom of the bed skirt.

I bow down to those who sew, it's very hard!

You have to be patient, precise and see the whole picture.

I thought of putting a ribbon around the bed skirt to tie the

hot pink in from the room, but after the time and effort I put into 

the bed skirt, I am rethinking that thought!

And another view of the room...

Before:

 And the Semi-After:

There is her chair.  I am thinking a mirror/vanity set would be cute!

I also need to put some prints up on the wall.

And I think this girl needs a chandelier!

Any suggestions on where to get that?

And to think a 3 year old sleeps there....I will be sure to snap a pic 

on what it looks like on a normal day....toys, clothes, princess-dress-up-clothes, everywhere.
