Last Look at The Lady's Little Girl Room

I mentioned in an earlier post that I had switched the Guest Room and The Lady's Room.  It was a tough decision for me because it meant facing the reality that my baby girl is not five years old anymore. And I admit, she needed more room for sleepovers and her art projects. So I relented and agreed to move rooms. 

Charlotte's little girl room was my favorite bedroom in our home. Waiting for her to grow out of the nursery, I had a stack of tear sheets at the ready. I had a vision of a bed chamber for a Pink Lady. Not like Rizzo from Grease, mind you. More like an English Rose. A place to snuggle and read children's classic before bedtime. Romantic, right? We were lucky to have those precious days and we savored them. But The Lady was tired of pink and ready for a big girl room. 


So here is a design obituary for The Lady's Little Girl Room. 

A Pottery Barn Kids day bed is draped with a chiffon cascade of flowers. The crystal chandelier softly light the night. Down-filled euro pillows provided a cozy snuggle spot for reading The Wind in the Willows.

Alice and The White Rabbit. 

Dozens of children's classics are guarded by Daddy Bear. The pink velvet chair is vintage.

Precious family photos.

A vintage 1920's Sligh dresser and an antique wicker bassinet
wreathed in tulle keeps the Lady's dolls safe.



Fairy tale illustrations embellished with paper flower anchors.
A vanity is accented with Dogwood flower drawer pulls from Anthropologie. 
A Red Oak branch is hung with Chinese lanterns
from San Francisco. Birds and butterflies
add a touch of whimsy.
