Picture Molding Adds Dimension In A Girl's Bedroom
As you know I went with a black and white color scheme. I wanted a really calm and airy feeling in here to balance the riot of color that is every kid thing known to man. But to make a white room that doesn't have a lot of architectural interest work, it needed texture. First was the black ceiling, then the picture molding (see where I trimmed out her black and white little big girl room) and then some cozy soft things like a plush rug and lots of pillows. For a finishing touch, one bright pop of color in the form of a hot pink chair.
Check out that before and after.

With floors like that, you could do anything to that room and it would look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica. Those floors are the same ones in the before photo. Not so amazing back then :)
DeleteThe stars around the medallion are really a special detail, love it! How did you do them? Is it a stencil? Lovely room!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara. I used a cricut machine to cut them out myself but there are lots of etsy sellers that will make them for you for a very affordable price.
Deletethat ceiling is a show stopper!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cassie!
DeleteYour daughter is going to grow up appreciating great design. She's already on the way.
ReplyDeleteDo I see light coming from under her little desk? And how high are your ceilings?
The light under the desk in that photo is coming in from the window.
DeleteThe ceilings in here are 9 feet high.
OMGosh, I love it. It is hard to explain, but you can't get enough of just looking at it and taking it all in! It's so simple yet not simple at all. I love the way it is clean and non cluttered too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sammy!
DeleteI asked ages ago and no response - but seriously, that cloud painting - where can i get it?! total LOVE!
ReplyDeleteroom looks awesome, so appreciate it's not a total pink fest as most little girls' rooms are. it's beautiful and understated, a room she is sure to grow well in and love.
Thanks! It was painted for me so it's not sold anywhere I know about. (I also answered in the last post's comments. I always answer.)
Deleteoh wow - how awesome for you! It is a truly gorgeous painting. (sorry, I've must've missed your response first go-round). if i may ask, is the artist one who sells his/her work? or, sells prints? i just truly love it that much - i'd love to see if there was any way to get a copy in some form. :)
DeleteGorgeous as is everything you do! I love the cloud touches as well! And want to know about the painting too!
ReplyDeleteIt was painted just for me so I don't have source to buy another. Sorry.
DeleteLove the ceiling!! I'm glad to see that a dramatic ceiling "works" in a child's room. I keep tossing around the idea of doing gold leaf paper on my 4 year old daughter's ceiling (with antique gilt bronze and ebonized empire chandelier) and I've been worried that it would be a big, expensive mistake. Seeing yours makes me feel a lot better about trying it out.
ReplyDeleteStars on the Ceiling! OMG! Now you need to find a children's book called "Little White Horse" by Elizabeth Goudge. Read it yourself and then pass it on to Agatha. The little girl in that book has a bedroom with a dark blue ceiling painted with stars - and all my life I have kept that ceiling in my head (the book is a keeper, read every 10 years or so). Agatha's ceiling is beautiful - well done.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I love the understated design with a scattering of special touches - just knocked it out of the park.
ReplyDeleteI just bought the medallion you linked to use in my craft room but I'm wondering if you suggest the best way to attach it? I have dry wall but am leery to use glue as I'm worried it will look bad if I ever remove it.
Love the ceiling!! the stars around the medallion is a beautiful touch. I'm so worried about dark colors but you've inspired me to color outside the lines.
ReplyDeleteI love this room! IT is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIs the rug in this room the really blue? The link goes to a blue rug, but it looks grey in the photos.
ReplyDeleteNo it's grey. Maybe that color is sold out now but there is a grey one.
DeleteI love the bed. It says second hand. Where did you purchase it?
ReplyDeleteThrough my local parents' board classified. The bed is originally made by Land of Nod and it's still being sold if you want a new one.
