Today I’m participating in a fun bedroom blog hop with a few of my favorite blogging pals! Â Since I’m currently in the middle of giving my 11 year old daughter’s bedroom a little refresh, I thought I’d share a few of the fun changes we’ve made so far.
Leopards & Dots & Tassels & Fur!
Kids’ rooms are so fun!  And I love that my daughter is at an age where she really enjoys participating in the design process.  She has lots of ideas and opinions!  So I spend most of my time just reigning her in.  😉
She loves pattern as much as I do, but I decided we should go with a really neutral duvet cover (I actually have this same one on my bed). Â The all white with a bold, black border is simple yet chic and makes for a great backdrop for patterned sheets and pillows.
Thanks to Crane and Canopy for providing this gorgeous duvet! Â It’s absolutely perfect for my girl’s more grown up space.
Desk As a Nightstand
We pulled out her small nightstand and have decided instead to let her desk work double duty. Â This new arrangement makes so much more sense in relation to the space in here, and I don’t know why we didn’t do this sooner. Â I plan to paint the desktop but am having trouble deciding on a color. Â I’m thinking of going with a bright, tomato red. Â Thoughts?
Whimsical Art
The other new addition, that my girl helped me source, is this Fairy Godmother print from one of my favorite artists, Janet Hill.  I love the whimsy it adds to the space.  It feels really fun and youthful but not overly kid centric.
I’m always amazed at the impact a few small changes can make in a space. Â A fresh bedding mix is always a great way to revamp a bedroom!
I’ll share more of my girl’s bedroom changes as we make them. Â We have just a few more tweaks to make, and I’m hoping to have it all done before summer break starts.

I like the desk as is but have you considered something tall on the other side of the bed for balance? Possibly a full length mirror? Or maybe a set of sconce lights on each side with a nightstand on the empty side? Love your color palette and art above bed! And that headboard..all the hearts!
