As part of Abigail's Christmas....she got stuff to 're-make' her room. She is currently into "Tinkerbelle" along with many other 3-6th grade girls in our area. Go figure!?! SO....I decided to repaint the whole room...three walls in "angel ivory" which is a beige/off white with yellow undertones...and one accent wall which is an official disney color from the Tinkerbelle line at Home Depot.
She was THRILLED...and I told her that she owes me like 100 back massages!!!! because I worked ALL day...moving furniture, cleaning/prepping, painting, cleaning up, rearranging and then reorganizing (with her help). We removed a small book shelf and added the small entertainment center which gave her TONS more shelf/storage space. We also relocated a lot of stuffed animals that she still loves but no longer plays with..they are still here, but in the attic in secure containers.
I am tickled that she loves her 'new' room....and so glad that it is DONE!! If I have done my job right....you can see the room as you enter it..the move around in a counterclockwise fashion.

This is the view you get from the hallway...as you enter the room. You can see the side of the entertainment center in front of you.

As you enter the room and close the door, just behind the door is a little area to hang purses and things..then her closet.

This is the straight on view of the entertainment center. I was thrilled to find this for only $20 at a local thrift store.....did I mention that already?!?!? Abigail spent a great deal of time organizing these books (which are only a SMALL fraction of the books we have) by topic and then by size. She IS her mother's child-LOL!!!

You can see the bed in greater detail here...we went with a plain spread..and accented with a couple of tink throws and sheets as well.

As we turn the corner, you can see the a few more of the decals....and the curtains too. She likes these a lot.

As we turn this corner, you can see her very neat :) bin area, her clean clothes basket and a bit of the south wall of her room.

I love this old dresser. I used this growing up....and now Abigail gets to use it. It's pretty old. I am thinking I may get a little stool or small chair so she can use it as a vanity or even a writing desk of sorts.

..Just another photo of the same wall...but moving down a bit more. By the way, this cat is FAKE!!

As we turn the last corner to the east wall, you see the toy chest my mom built and a very old chest of drawers (again, I had this growing up)....the room is filled with stuff, but in spite of its size, it seems to have a good amount of room.

Midnight...enjoying the new room too....he likes the rug and also enjoys climbing on the entertainment center....

Beautiful Laura and Abigail!! I love your new room! It looks so fun. Isn't it great to get a new room? And at a New Year too.
The new room looks great. My daughter is seventeen and she still enjoys Peter Pan.
Looks great! I bet she is thrilled...redecorating a room is so fun!
