It's about time to get started on Avery's big girl room. I. am. so. excited. The room we will be moving her to has two twin beds with stark white Ikea bedding and dark wood cut-out headboards with a matching set of furniture. Oh and let's not forget the chocolate-brown walls I will not be sad to part with.
I've see-sawed a few times between color schemes for the new look, but have finally landed on light pink/white/royal blue/brass. Below are some images I put together from which I'm drawing inspiration...
1/ Amie Corley's design for this little girl's room is a big inspiration for me. The layout will be almost identical, as Avery's room will have matching twin bed and headboard sets on each side of the window. I also adore her gallery wall here. Already got and "A" for Avery:)
2/ So, so happy "brass is back"! Almost all of the original fixtures are still in this house. And guess what? They are brass!!! Door knobs, switch plates, hardware in the bathrooms. You name it. We are going to keep it. Partly in tribute to the house, and partly because I just love the look. I've been scrounging thrift stores for good brass items, and let me tell you, it's everywhere! {RecyleBuyVintage}
3/ We will need a chair, but because space will be an issue, an overstuffed glider like what we have in the nursery is just not going to work! I want something pretty and interesting. Comfort does not have to be the deciding factor here since I figure we will do most of our reading at night in her big girl bed. I almost scored one on Craiglist this morning for $20 that looked very similar to this one, but I was about 30 minutes too late... {Wisteria}
4/ Gallery wall!!! Don't you just love a good gallery wall? Especially in a kid's room, I think. I've been collecting frames for quite a while now, so I just cannot wait to get the wall painted and start arranging/hanging. A little bit eclectic like the one pictured here is a must! This big girl room by Nicole is so precious...

5/ Blue and white. These colors are trailing through my house, and I would be remiss to leave Avery's room out! I think the royal blue tones will pair very nicely with the light pink and stark white bedding. {via Pinterest}
6/ I've chosen Verbena by Sherwin Williams for the walls. We will sample it before painting, of course, but we will end up doing something very similar to this shade if not this one itself. Now that we know we are having another girl, I'm not afraid to go all out girly!
Of course, Emily is a genius and will be helping me pull this altogether in style and under budget. Did you know she's open for business?
