Bedroom Makeover...fit for a Princess...or two

Some of you may now say: "finally!"

round pillows come from Grammy's house, the girls saw those on OUR bed,
and it was LOVE at first sight. So in their room they went.

I know, it has been a looooong project, and truthfully it ain't over yet...not completely. 

But this is what I have so far, 

and the girls Princesses have been enjoying their new room.

the mirror hangs in front of the steps to the top bunk...never trust a 4 and a (almost) 3 year old with bunk beds :)

I have been working on this room on and 

off, and really needed some motivation in getting it done.
My goal was to update the room, making it lighter and brighter.

The beadboard wallpaper over the paneling involved several steps.
(here the details)
I could not removed the paneling because it was glued to the drywall. Yikes.

Let's just say that I am SO glad it's over.
For the gallery wall I used frames from the $store, leftover wood pieces and the $1 coat rack that I rescued here.

And here some more pictures of the gallery wall.

the watercolor angel was a gift from a neighbour when I was a child :)

On the other wall, there is a built in bookcase.

For now the little girls are sharing the bed, 
in a couple of years the oldest will be relocating to the top bunk.
This is how it looks...

I will be starting few projects to transform this top bunk into a reading and playing area.

And sewing curtains...

For now I am just looking to recover from my last kidney stones surgery and (re)gain some weight during the Holidays.
