First let me say that we are renting. :( So I was limited to what I could do to Riley’s room. I could only paint, because I can paint over it when we move out. I couldn’t paint the oak trim. I did change out the overhead light to the chandelier, but I kept the old light to put back when we move. That said….
While I was pregnant we painted the the ceiling and halfway down the walls white. (Drue, Seester-in-law, and I.) Then, we painted about halfway up the walls, pink. Then I copied the pattern from the main fabric onto the walls, all the way around. Then, painstakingly filled it all in with brownish green to match the fabric.

Bought an old black iron chandelier off Craigslist for 20 bucks. Sprayed it white. Bought the shades at Michael’s on clearance for ONE dollar each. Covered them in coordinating fabrics. Added the boa. I got the beads in a 4 pack. They are 60″ necklaces that I think I paid like $1.75 for.
I just draped them over the iron. And then they’re just resting on the light fixture. The font on the monogramed shade is called “Harrington”. I did it in Embird with Font Engine. - Decoupaged or Painted the letters for Riley’s name
- Bought the dresser from Babies R Us for about 1/4 of the original price off the clearance section…and it is part of the set for her crib! Wish I could find the armoire!
