sneak peek: little girl's room
it seems like everyone i know is having a baby these days, so i've got kids on the brain. i've been helping a few expectant mothers design their childrens' room so it was lovely to hear from d*s reader missy babcock who contacted d*s 2 years ago to ask for advice on her 3 year old's room. since we last spoke she's made incredible improvements and i just had to share them. this would have been my dream room as a little girl. heck, it would still be my dream room now. i love the soft pink and little bird details- it's so sweet and serene. also, missy's still looking for advice on bedding for the room so if you have any ideas feel free to leave them for her below. [thanks missy for sharing]

oh, it's so sweet & pretty!
I love this room. I'm in the process of designing a room for my daughter and love the window shades. Do you where they are from?
they look like tord boontje's "until dawn" curtains. $110 each right here:

I love it, especially the little alcove hidden in the back.
I think any of the dwell kids bedding would look cute in this room. Personally I like the cowgirl, but maybe the carousel or garden would work better with the "theme" of the room.

I love this room and would love to know what shade of pink is on the walls.
So simple, so lovely, SO PRETTY.
where are the wall decals from?
-Thanks for the Dwell suggestion. I will revisit their line.
-The curtain is indeed the "Until Dawn" one. I bought it from momastore. You can cut it to length.
-The walls are Pink Lustre (a Martha Stewart color at Sherwin Williams). I don't think they sell MS paint anymore, but can mix it if you give them the name.
-They aren't decals on the walls. They are stencils inspired by this glass: http://www.modernpoverty.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=1000-890-016&Category_Code=60
Thanks for all of the nice comments! - Missy B.
Are those curtains the same ones that I have seen used as shower curtains?
for really cute bedding try dwell bedding, the grown-up prints look really great in a kids room

as for bedding, what about some black and white stripe (more narrow than wide) bedskirt, or trim on the topsheet...
I LOVE the red Bilibos in the play nook. They're so striking, and are part of what keeps this room from being striking just a single note and being merely pretty. My toddler son, who's all about cars and trucks and things that go, loves his Bilibo, too. They work everywhere!
oh, it's absolutely magical!
wow..lovely!
did you make the stencils yourself? and what kind of paint did you use? i'm thinking about doing that to my wall also...
i love the little niche in the room with the gorgeous little window!
For bedspreads check out Urban Outfitters (www.urbanoutfitters.com). The have a couple frily, black & white options that would look great in your daughters adorable room.
oh wow...this room is absolutely magical...
where on earth did you get that lamp and that little owl? thanks
i'm in love with this room! such a fun space for a girl--love the stenciling and the curtains.
i forgot how much i love your blog grace, and plan on checking in more often. you have a fantastic eye!
Can you say more about the stencil--as in how you created it?
Thanks for letting us see this room--it's beautiful!
can you tell me where that mobile came from? i want! -Lydia
Wow I totally felt in love with the design, it's absolutely dreamy.
So, would you please help me designing my bedroom because it's driving me nuts.
You are perfect.
Bye.
Nice room, de lovely wooden bird mobile is from Helen Ige named Birds of a Feather Mobile.

Can you tell me where you purchased the lamp? Thank you!
My daughter's room has an identical color palatte. Her bedding is from Target. White with black embroidered looking flowers. I realize Target isn't probably the quality you're looking for, but the print works, I think. The comforter was used in an episode of Top Design (the kid's room episode!)
Also, our paint color is Southern Beauty by Behr. It's very similar.
Where did you get the great lamp?
Urban Outfitters has a cute bedspread called the Wildflower Bedspread - nice black and white print. Also maybe not the quality you're looking for, but even folded and draped over the end of the bed might look nice...

Can you please explain how to make the stencil used on the wall (making one from the design inspired from the glass...), materials used, etc?
Thanks.
here's a nice similar stencil
