Birthday Girl Gets A Big Girl Room Makeover

My daughter's birthday is in a couple of weeks and she just recently got her own bedroom! She requested a room makeover for her birthday. Since we are leaving in a few weeks for a month long vacation, we decided to surprise her a little early so she could enjoy before we left!!!!

No more Dora, Cinderella, or My Little Pony....she wanted a BIG girl room all about Horses!!!

She LOVES horses and what a surprise it was to her!!! :) Although I think I got more excited about the whole project than she! Daddy was a HUGE help...we did this makeover in one day...He blindfolded her and did the big reveal! :)

Horse mural is from Pottery Barn...yeah, I know...I SPLURGED big time, BUT simply had to be the best horse ANYTHING that I could put in her room and she wanted PINK...everything else I saw was too western.

Lots of pink and white polka dots....I painted the knobs on the bedside table and dresser to give it more character and look "polka-dotty"! :)

Ribbon came from Michaels....added to mirror, curtain tie back and to picture frame above her bed. So excited I found the print in the ribbon similar to the picture frame(Target) on her dresser and the piggy bank (Target).

Lamp(Target) Curtain (Target) rod came from Dollar General last year and I spray-painted it black...I love how the scrolly ends match the ribbon ect. The polk-dot photo box was sale purchase from Joann's a couple years ago.


Haleigh wanted an "H" in her room somewhere...because H is for haleigh and horses! :) So I bought this wooden H from Michael's and painted it the same color as I did the knobs...glued it to the black paper and used this frame I already had...tied with ribbon to finish. She loved it!

Here is the happy birthday girl!!!So what do you think??? Did we pull of the BIG girl room makeover???? :)

Love the mural! My daughter loves horses too and she has a pony bedding that I splurged on. Sometimes it feels worthwhile! It brings the room togather!
