One of my favourite parts of decorating any space is the shopping.
The bedroom I am decorating for 7 year old Jessie is no exception. It doesn’t hurt that she is a like a mini me; she loves pink, flowers and is a total girly girl. Thank you to Royale for the renocation dream job!
As with any project, you need a starting point; a major element to act as inspiration for the rest of the space. I went shopping at two of my favourite stores, Pottery Barn Kids and Ikea to find some of the items on Jessie’s wish list.
Some choices are easy. Others are a little more difficult: like which desk I should choose or what style of dresser would suit the space.
Watch my scouting trip to Pottery Barn Kids and Ikea to see what I bought and what you can help me choose to make Jessie’s room perfect.

If you are anything like me you would never put toilet paper and interior design in the same sentence. But Royale has changed that for me forever. And they want to do the same for you. We are celebrating the Royale $25,000 Reno-cation contest by bringing it to life on my blog. Together.
Royale has made it possible for me to make a little girl’s dream come true, while also making one of mine come true at the same time! Erica Ehm’s daughter, Jessie, has never had new furniture. Her bedding is from Erica’s Much Music days. Her dresser and wardrobe have been passed down from her brother. But that is all about to change. Thanks to Royale, I am going to transform Jessie’s room into every little girl’s dream.
We recently took a tour of Jessie’s room to see what works, what doesn’t and to find out what Jessie dreams about:
This is where you come in. I love chatting about design with friends. It is such a great opportunity to collect amazing ideas. So I'm going to give all of you arm chair designers a chance to get into the game.
