Quinn's room was basically still her nursery. Sure, the crib had been replaced by a bed, and we had added a book shelf and taken out the couch, but the walls were exactly the same as they were when we brought her home from the hospital. I loved that nursery and the cupcake yellow walls, but it was time for an update. I had been slowly collecting items to redo it more in the style of a beach/mermaid theme. I knew we needed a new bigger dresser and I wanted to get her a loft bed so there would be more room for activities. We also ended up buying a new bookcase as well.
Quinn helped pick the wall color- a light blue called, "Swimming" and I ordered a bed online and we set off on redecorating her room. My mom and I ran to Ikea one night and used our major muscles to load the dresser and the bookcase into the jeep. Dalan and I painted and Dalan put together all the furniture. Quinn wa so anxious to get her new bed with the ladder. I also crafted some mermaid scale art.
We still need to hang up a few things and get some more decor for top shelves of her bookcase, but I love how the room turned out. Most importantly, Quinn is over the moon excited about it.
And some comparisons to her original nursery.
And some photos of the process.
(Had to put on her mermaid costume!)
