But after painting wood panels in one of our bathrooms, I realized it was way too much work and not easily reversible, so I decided to try something else. Here's what I've done so far:
Remember the faux wood blinds we installed in our living room? We had oodles of leftover slats after shortening them to the correct length. My creative sister-in-law, Aubree, told me I should use them to make a picket fence in the girls' room. She's brilliant! I think it looks really cute. I added some foam sticker flowers along the bottom and some wooden butterflies and bees along the fence. I mounted the fabric flower decorations I made above Jennabee's bed.
I also made white coverlets for both girls after cutting a full size coverlet I found at a yard sale to toddler bed size and hemming the edges.
I used a thrifted sheet to sew a valance.
I also painted the little pictures hanging on the wall. Here is a close up of the paintings:
The only thing left to do is to paint the built-ins.
I was thinking of painting them white and maybe putting cute knobs or handles on. What do you all think? Should I paint some small butterflies and flowers on the closet doors? Also, does anybody know what I should do with the brick wall? I really don't want to paint it. Maybe it will grow on me....

You have been busy! The pictures you painted really add to the room. You are motivating me to finish Asha's room.
You are so creative and resourceful! That room is absolutely perfect for little girls. I am so impressed! Maybe you need to come visit AZ and help me get my kids rooms done. They are still undecorated!
The room is so super cute! I'm sure Jennabe loves it!
Allison! I loooove it! You are one talented mama!!!
Very Cute. As for the brick wall I am not sure what to do. You might want to google and see what comes up. Love ya and miss you!!
oh i love it, especially the blue accents (doors and shelves) i bet they love it. the white bead board is cool too, very creative.
What you've done is absolutely adorable. I knew you were talented! You can paint brick, but what about finding some fabric and hanging a contrasting "curtain" over the brick. you could face it with wood or sheetrock too? Bigger job though. whatever you do, it'll be fabulous!
it looks so cute! You've done a great job. I knew you were talented... Brick can be painted, you could also hang sheetrock over it or face it with wood, that's a big job though. What about hanging a contrasting fabric over it or painting a garden on it?
