Your Design Suggestions for Jessie's Room: Part 2

stylish ideas for a little girl's dream room

I have received hundreds and hundreds of outstanding ideas for Jessie’s room! I can’t say again how helpful all of your tips and suggestions have been. This has been my first major design project and I feel so lucky to be sharing the experience with all of you.

Here are a few more of your amazing design tips for Jessie’s room. Feel free to steal them and use them in your own home! I know I will.

Brenda from Moncton, N.B. suggested that I sit down with Jessie and discuss her dreams for her room, her favourite colours and hobbies. I could not agree more. Jessie had strong ideas for her room and even had photographs to share with me which really helped me create her dream room.

Kim from Toronto, ON had a great tip for dressing up a piece of furniture with glass hardware. I love these from Anthropologie, don’t you?

Cheryl from St. Eugene, ON {and many more of you} think I should go with Dave on the paint colour and stick to all pale pink in the playroom. Hmmmmmm...

Corrine from Provost, AB suggested the use of accent pillows as an opportunity to inject colour and pattern into the space.

Diane from St. Catherines, ON wants me to paint the bed frame in white. I was going to do just that but Dave, from 2 Guys Painting pointed out that paint would not adhere to the surface well.

Jenna from Vancouver, BC loves using flowers to brighten up any room. I could not agree more {and Jessie loves flowers}.

Jen from Burlington, ON suggested switching the bedroom and playroom. I love the idea of rethinking the function of the space.

Katherine from Thornhill, ON believes Jessie should purge some of the clutter in her room. One of my favourite budget-friendly ways to revive a space is edit, edit, edit. Only keep what you love.

Marci from Otterburn Park, QC suggested creating a poster collage of Jessie’s beautiful artwork. I love the idea of making a keepsake out of children’s artwork!

Many of you fell in love with the first of the three Ikea desks that I suggested for Jessie’s room. You loved its style and the hidden storage. But, you’ll just have to wait and see what I choose.

There are only a few more days until the reveal. I am SO excited to see Jessie’s reaction. I hope she loves it as much as I think she will!! I can’t wait to hear your reaction too.
