Lillie and Lola’s New Room (Not Quite Finished But Getting There!)
Although I still have a few more projects I’d like to do in here, Lillie and Lola’s room is almost finished! The two main projects I have left to do in here are upholstering their headboards to they look a little less shabby chic and I may possibly monogram them. And then making little benches for the ends of their beds. I also would like to add a little interest to their drapery panels. Other than that though I am pretty much done. It sure feels nice to have one space feel pretty completely. We are making quite a bit of progress on the downstairs but this is the only room we have touched so far upstairs.
Here are some “before” shots next to how it currently looks:
 

The girls really wanted a bright pink room. I didn’t really want to paint the walls bright pink so I thought doing a wallpaper with bright pink flowers and lots of bright pink accents throughout the room would still make the room feel very bright and very pink but still be something that I would like too. I have to say I love it now as much as they do!

We sell both these prints in our shop and the beautiful shoes are from our newest sponsor, Joyfolie!

Dana gave this little piggy bank to Lillie a few years ago – maybe for her first birthday?

Lillie has an owl and Lola has a pig that they sleep with every night from their best friend’s Chloe and Bayley.

On this wall we just tacked up two pieces of string and Lillie has been regularly changing out the artwork.
The chandelier was a gift from my mom and dad when I was pregnant with Lillie and doing her nursery so it made the move with us.

We spray painted this old birdcage that I got seven years ago at an antique shop and also fixed it up a little (it had been pretty neglected the last few years out on our back porch). I didn’t do the best job protecting the floor in the garage so now it is dusted in a nice coat of bright pink. The girls think it’s pretty but let me just say it is not! Then I used some leftover wallpaper to very quickly make this “racing flag” as Lillie calls it.

  3. Amazing Job! The girls must love going to sleep every night!
    So weird that I think I posted the same chair on my blog today, except my chair is blue. What are the chances lol.
    Happy Monday!

  4. Lovely room for your girls. I think you achieved the pinky girly look without painting the walks. Love it!
    The wallpaper is lovely.

  5. Absolutely adorable Jenni! I bet they are both over the moon about it. I love that you are having them share a room. You don't see that often anymore and I think it is so "sisterly" and will give them a lifetime of memories.
    Kisses to the girls!

    1. Thank you, Joan! They are! And I know – people keep wondering why they are sharing in our new house but they love sharing a room and I love that they like being together.

  9. What a beautiful, special place for your little girls! The wallpaper is so cheerful and and "just enough" bright- I love how you chose just one wall for it. The room looks lovely! =)

  10. What a darling room! I couldn't wait to see how it was going to turn out. I love the wallpaper and the rug! I think they add the perfect amount of pink prettiness for two little girls without overwhelming the space 🙂

  13. What a beautiful little girl's room! My girls would have loved it when they were little. Enjoy your girls…they grow up so quickly. My last 2 just moved out of the house this summer. 🙁

  17. It's delightful! The girls must just love it! The rug is great, and the pink birdhouse is such a fun pop of color. What a perfect room for them, so cheerful and pretty…

  20. It is absolutely beautiful. I love the girly vibe, I think any little girl would feel like a princess in this room! It is great to see you do something a little out side of your comfort zone and use some bright colors. It turned out fabulous!

    1. Thanks! It was definitely out of my usual neutral color zone! I think I am going to do one of the guest bedrooms kind of bright too – it was so much fun!

  23. This is such a beautiful room 🙂 I can't believe the amount of progress you've made in the short time you've been in your new home.

  25. Love the pops of pink! It's amazing how the rug just opens up the entire room. How sweet the girls will be sharing a room now. Looking forward to heading to Williamsburg for parents' weekend soon. Maybe we'll spot you at the football game. 🙂

  27. The before and after is just amazing! I can just see Lillie and Lola enjoying this beautiful sweet room. I too love that you did not paint the walls pink and the wallpaper is lovely! I can only imagine how hard y'all have been working to give your home your touch.

    2. Hi..I am from Holland and they sell very nice wallpaper by Pip..but almost everyone uses just one wall to decorate as an "accent wall"because it´s to bright when you use it on ervery wall 😉
      Very, very lovely room!!

  31. Love this room. The wallpaper is beautiful. I think the monogrammed headboards would be perfect. You have incredible taste as always.

  33. I love this!! Too cute I bet your girls are excited…:) luv the Wallpaper as well. What paint color are the bedroom doors??

    1. Thank you , Stephanie. The side of the door in the room is painted the same simply white as the trim and the part facing the hall is Wrought Iron for now. I tried that because I liked it at Jason's but am leaning towards a different truer shade of black for our house.

  37. Oh my goodness!!!!!!! Everything looks amazing! I wish I owned a house. I didn't get to do nurseries with either of my children but I keep telling myself I'll be able to make up for it with their big kid rooms one day. Just amazing.

  38. It's a beautiful room Jennifer! The wallpaper is gorgeous….very feminine and the rug is fun! I bet the girls are so happy with their pink room. Growing up I shared a room with my sister. We would stay up talking after the lights were out, lots of giggling and telling stories. Those were fun times that bring back lots of memories. I love Lillie and Lola's chandelier and also how you painted the frames. Such a pretty room!

  41. Love your little girls' room! I have twin boys who share a room, would you like to decorate a boys room, just for fun? 🙂

  47. Beautiful! You may aleady know this, but the "vintage desk" is actually a vanity table. The arms are for the vanity skirt. I had one in my bedroom growing up (in the 60s). A skirt on the table would be so pretty in that lovely room.

    1. Thanks! Someone mentioned that a while back. They use it as a desk and actually play school and office with it all the time but you are right it was indeed once a vanity.

  50. Bravo!!! What a beautiful room. Loved every bit of it, but the wall paper stole my heart. It is simply wonderful!!

  51. I love the way you use wallpaper! This makes a perfect accent wall. It's a really great girls' room, they must love it.

  52. What a beautiful room! I bought the same wallpaper for my daughter's room. Could you tell me how you did the"racing flag". I want to do the same thing in her room. Thank you!

  53. Beautiful! I follow you on Instagram – you are a steady source of inspiration. Thank you!
    I know it has been a while but would you be able to share the spray paint brand & color you used for the bird cage? Thanks!
