Makeover Monday: Insider Tips, Tricks & Expert Advice

Good morning and Happy August! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! On Friday, I announced an awesome giveaway that I'm hosting all this week and I'd love for you to enter! It's from the very talented Etsy artist, Alison Fennell. I think the piece she is giving away would look perfect in a little girl's room and it's inspired me to do a bit of research on decorating for children. Here are some ideas for decorating a little princess's room...
Bed of Dreams
Didn’t you always want a have a canopy over your bed, when you were a child? Tack one up to transform your daughter’s room into the bedroom of her dreams.
Pretty Storage
Use decorative under-the-bed storage containers for a fun and functional approach to small-space organizing. Mixing yellow and pink will avoid the rose-colored glasses effect.
Feel the Drama
Bring drama to her room with eye-popping colors and textural elements like faux fur, velvets and tassels.
Something Your Size
Mix in an adult size piece of furniture to make the room a space that’s comfortable for you and your little one. Cozy up together with a book.
Shared Space, Personal Place
In a shared room, using two colors that the kids can help pick out will give each sibling a feeling of ownership over their room.
Grand and Girly
Add an element of grandeur like a jewel-tone chandelier or floral wallpaper to make a standout room that will make your daughter feel like a queen.

Now go check out the Strawberry Bunny GIVEAWAY and enter to win! You could start re-decorating your own room fit for a princess!

I shared a room with my sister for years and picking a color we both liked was never easy. So I especially loved the "Shared Space, Personal Space" room picture!

Yes, I ALWAYS wanted a canopy bed when I was a little girl! These rooms are seriously so dreamy and adorable. I love the feel especially to the top left and bottom left...just the perfect mix of girly, cozy, dreamy, soft, and all things happy!

I hope you had a great weekend Jami!
