Goodbye Cherry Blossom Tree!

Hello my lovelies! Well, have been a very busy bee of late. It's my daughter's twelfth birthday soon, so I suggested a bit of a 'more grown up' bedroom makeover might be in order. It was time to kiss the sickly frosty pink walls goodbye! I was a little sad to take a paint brush and wallpaper to the walls where I had spent hours painting her cherry blossom tree, but needs must!

Before...

I decided to brave it, and to paint everything white, with one feature wall done in a wallpaper patchwork effect. I am always on a strict budget, so my thrifty soul sang out when I managed to paper the entire wall in free wallpaper samples!

Goodbye tree...hello patchwork wall!

The gilt mirror was a boot sale find, and a snip at just £4 after some haggling with the stall holder! The wonder of free wallpaper extended to some framed bird art pictures too! I cut these little birdies out, and used 3d foam to create the picture on the left. 

I also decoupaged this quirky flamingo onto a china plate...

The tired looking orange pine desk was crying out for a pick me up! Nothing that a lick of paint couldn't sort out!

Before...

Tah-dah

A few finishing touches...

You'll spot some more wallpaper in the mirror reflection above! Those are the wardrobe doors...Now freshly painted and wallpapered!

Finally, after copious amounts of wallpaper paste and white paint, not to mention patience which is not always in big supply, the room is finished! And, thankfully, we have one very happy, nearly twelve year old occupant! 

Blessings,
