The biggest change in my daughter's Big Girl room is her new bed! I got SO lucky and scored this super heavy, iron bed from the 1920's on Craigslist for $50! And my husband's BFF even picked it up and delivered it to our house for us! It was white and in great condition. I spray painted it hot pink. Inspiration for her room came from two rooms in particular, which I saw on pinterest. They gave me amazing ideas and I was able to translate them on an extremely small budget. Check out the other rooms here and here for some incredible ideas!
We also moved Keely's bookshelves (which she's had since birth, a Target purchase.) to the same wall as her headboard. I was lucky that she decided to keep her pink walls, which meant I didn't have to paint! We also kept her name on her wall that I painted years ago. We found the bedding at Home Goods for $40. Keely picked it out. It's totally different than what I was thinking of getting but it's her room and she liked it so I went with it.
Even though I did little bits and pieces over several weeks, the day the bed went in the room was a big deal! I decided to keep her out of the room while I set up the bed and bookshelves. We brought her in with her eyes closed and had her open them on the count of 3. She loved it!
