Kendall’s Big Girl Room – One Room Challenge – Week 2
Decisions. I loath decisions. They literally keep me up at night and consume my thoughts during the day. By nature I am EXTREMELY indecisive. I over-analyze to the point of self loathing. I always say I am going to “sleep on it” but then I wake up at 2:30 with my mind racing with more ideas, new thoughts, and even more decisions. For example, here are my notes for Kendall’s room from three days ago:
If you can read past the grease stains, I mention blue ceilings, a scallop border, wall decals, and cheetah wallpaper. Ya. None of that is happening now. Or at least I don’t think so but hey, who knows, might change my mind again this afternoon! Yesterday I put two shades of pink sample paint on the ceiling and didn’t like either. Then I spent a couple hours drawing out a plan for DIY shiplap. That would have been SO much work. Finally I settled on white ceilings. I know, SO original! (eye roll) BUT I’m loving clean white right now, and with two accent walls and some fun window coverings her room will be anything but boring! Here is a pic of my updated vision board.
Here’s what changed:
- I fell head over heels for that Scallop Dot Wallpaper from These Walls. Here’s the deal though – it’s like $800 for enough paper for ONE wall. I just can’t justify spending that much money on ANYTHING really. So I reached out to my old buddy Alex from StencilsLAB who I found out from my last project makes CUSTOM wall stencils. So he’s whipping up this stencil for me for under $150! What a savings AND I’m pumped I get to do something unique and artistic in her room.
- I found these BEAUTS of curtains from Society 6. They are feminine, colorful yet muted, and just boho enough to add a little funk to her otherwise preppy bedroom. Also they remind me of the wallpaper my grandma had in her bathroom… not sure if that is a good or bad thing! I’m going with good. We call that RETRO around these parts 😉
- That chair is still in the board for inspiration. In reality it is a MINIATURE chair. What I’m looking for is a chair for a small human. This seems hard to find for some reason.
And here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Ordered the custom wall stencil
- Painted the ceiling and some of the walls
- Purchased some wall art/decor
YIKES! Not much – and so much still to do! Here are a couple of progress shots with our DOPE hats courtesy of Kelly Moore Paints. 🙂
