The Completed Surprise

Completed.

A word I thought was never going to be used when it came to the redo of Miss Madysen's room.

But alas, it is complete. And it turned out ADORABLE in every way.

- - - - -

I kept her out of the room for several days as I put the finishing touches on. I picked her up from school and she squealed in delight that TODAY was the day!

- - - - -

I entered her room from the bathroom enterance so I could snap this pic...

Ahhhh the look of pure delight and joy! Right there baby!

She literally deemed herself speechless!

She loved every peice, every surprise...

- - - - -

I made this qulit with all these amazing fabrics at Hobby Lobby.

Then went crazy making the bedskirt and pillows.

So fun though!

So when I first started this crazy adventure...I found this hideous desk for 5.99 at savers. Oh boy...did it need TONS of work. And I naturally put way more than the original 6 bucks into it. But...

WAH LAH!!

Don't you think it turned out pretty fabulous?!?!

This was another find at the DI...

It needed a makeover to match this fun room

So...

I jazzed it up with some of the fabric from the quilt with help from my lil sister Ash!

- - - - -

It was a work in progress and took way longer than it should have haha...but nonetheless turned out pretty stinkin cute in the end.

Her dresser had to be completely redone as well.

It had been painted in 5 different colors to match her previous wall color/stripes.

Again...TONS of work

But alas, turned out pretty stinkin cute right?!

I wanted a funky shabby chic type nightstand for her.

Something not just a box with drawers.
One day I found this "plant stand" on amazon and I knew with just the right finesse it could be exactly what I had in mind.

- - - - -

It came in stark white so I had to paint and glaze it but it turned out very fun and funky!

Just what we wanted!

And it gave me the chance to have three more shelves to decorate!

**BONUS**

The "theme" for the room, besides screaming bright colors, is fashion and paris. I found these fun little feminine touches at all sorts of stores and just went to town on this room with spray paint. Nearly every thing in this room has been touched with spray paint honeslty.

I am so in LOVE with these funky frames you can get all of the place. Especially in pink!

This was Madysen's one request...this darling pink glitter covered dress!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE ribbon so I tied it all over the place in this room!

Lastly, I wanted something simple and fun for the window treatment. After all, I had already made 7 pillows, a bedskirt and a quilt amongst redoing EVERY peice of furniture in the room, so I found this SUPER fun and simple idea at a boutique. I think it was just enough and turned out super fun for this room!

I was truly terrified to paint the walls all white.
But this room DOES NOT lack color that's for sure!

Happy early birthday Miss Madysen!

I hope you know how much you are loved!

The Undertaking

So, as mentioned, for Madysen's bday I have been

WORKING

AND...

WORKING

On redoing her bedroom.

- - - - -

Matt and I did this crazy paint job when we were building. The ceiling is purple, the trim is a faint pink, the top half of the walls are bubble gum, and the bottom half is...well 5 different colors. It is adorable but oh my goodness was it a taping nightmare. We did the chair guard also as complete amateurs. Thankfully I didn't take any closeups :)

When Madysen was two I made her this fun GIGGLE from a fun

show inspiration on Good Things Utah.

Everything was painted in all the fun colors of the walls!

Right down to the 5 bedroom doll house! :) This one is hard for me to part with. Madysen says she never plays with it...and that makes me sad. Seriously...no more Barbies at 9 years old. :(

The bench was always one of my favorite things...

well until I saw the bench I am about to unveil! :)

So...ya ready for a sneak peek.

Gotta say...I am a lil jealous of Madysen myself.

I want one for every room in the house they are so cute.

It started out like this...

Sanded and primed...and a whole lot of Matt and saws and drills and glues and...well ya know

Many honey-do-list hours later...

***WA LA***

Super cute huh....but wait for it

Then...

The completed project, pillows and all!

DON'T YA LOVE IT?!

My good friend gave me the idea for this BEYOND ADORABLE petal pillow.

Wasn't nearly as hard as it looks either! Gotta love that!

Ok Ok

So I was gonna save it all till the finished product is ready to show...but I am just too excited

After all, I have been working day and night for weeks...I gotta atleast let my blog know I am doing

SOMETHING :)

- - - - -

So I found this hidious chair.

But I saw its potential.

I started ripping it apart...man I hate that part.

I am such a germ freak I wore my pink polka dot gloves

After priming...and waiting.

And waiting...

I randomly decided to go with blue rather than white. Call me crazy!

Then we had to jazz it up with some of the fun fabric we are using in the room!

That and a chair with a hole in the middle isn't all that great.

Least not in my opinion

Stay tuned...maybe in another week we will actually have something done?

- - - - -

Ah...I best not hold my breath :)
