Abigail & Co.

My girls used to share a room.  After my oldest moved into a room of her own, the younger one wanted a "new look".  I played around with design ideas for a while, and then worked on convincing my good husband.  Once we were both on board the project began.  We remodeled this kinda bland white room and gave it a more grown up look.

This is their room before...


 White walls, white furniture,
 pastel bedding and drapes.
 Not much to write home about.


 Even the flower boarder at top of walls is unfinished.


With a pop of Tiffany Blue paint, we were off and running.
A Breakfast and Tiffany's theme was my jumping off place,
 and I added touches of bling and black and white and french things.


I painted french looking harlequins around the top 
of the walls, making an interesting boarder.  In 
keeping with the "Tiffany & Co." theme, I then 
added bling to the corners of each diamond. 


She loves her bedding. We got t-shirt soft sheets 
and had "Abigail & Co." embroidered 
on her pillow case. (not shown)


Check out the tassel hanging from
the ceiling fan. Love it!


This is the start of my daughters bedroom redo. 
 It is a work in progress I still have things
 in mind for it, but she loves it this way.


I have splendid ideas for things to hang on the walls, 
and a project for her antique kitchen hutch.
Sometimes I have problems with finishing
 stuff I start. Oops! That's what happens
to busy moms. 



Maybe the thought of posting the FINISHED 
room will get me working on it.

  1. Love the look. The boarder is amazing, did you stencil the diamonds by hand? As an artist I can't help but to add my two cents. I think the room needs some wall treatment. Maybe fun pictures of Abi dressed up like Audrey Hepburn. Without the smokes.

  2. Okay I didn't read the end. I recant my statement on wall treatment.
