Finally, I got all my pictures together to show you the transformation of my granddaughter’s bedroom, from this

boy’s room {picture from when the house was on the market}, to what it looks like now. I’ve added in some “before” pictures along the way, so you can see the differences. A list of resources and prices are at the end of this post.

The plug-in chandelier above was the biggest splurge and was my gift since the lighting in this room is recessed. Every girl needs some bling, even if she is only 20 months old! I added a cream colored cord cover to the chain. This chandelier can be hardwired as well and I left those pieces with my daughter in the event they ever decide to go that route with it.

The tease I gave you from my Tuesday Morning purchase was a cream chenille ruffled throw, which became the coverlet for the crib. I was going to add a canopy of some sort over the crib, but since my granddaughter likes to hide behind and pull on drapes, I didn’t think it would be safe to do right now. We’ll keep that on the back burner until she outgrows that! Here’s a more recent “before”:

Rods were added as close to the ceiling as possible and white tablecloths were attached to rings for the window treatments. These worked great as they were 70 inches wide and 120 inches long.

The mirror over the dresser is the mirror that came with my Craig’s List dresser find from a few months ago and I wasn’t using it.

To dress up the dresser a little bit {until it is either painted or replaced}, I made a ruffled runner for the top using fabric I had on hand. Here’s another before picture.

We hung existing wall décor and moved the existing furniture around. I used the white basket that I had added a ruffle to, as well as this blue pedestal that I had.

The Goodwill shelf I got last year, fixed up and painted for the Goodwill china tea sets finds a home here also. Once we decide where we want to place that on the wall, I will show you that. I added some of her existing accessories, as well as some new little finds {like these teacup and saucer pots}.

Even with the blue shades and carpet, I have a hard time remembering what this bedroom looked like in its before state! Here’s a side by side comparison.

The paint alone created a major difference in this room. Never underestimate the power of paint! This room took a bit longer than I anticipated because we had to get me in the house and upstairs without the baby seeing me. It was a whole covert operation to get this room completed, but it was well worth it!
