Pink Girls Bedroom: Ikea, Color, & More -

My Little Girls Bedroom – Fun and Functional with Ikea!

I want to introduce you all to Maggie, my 7-year-old daughter. You think I’m spunky? Wait until you meet this little spark plug!

And yes, those are 3D glasses without the lenses. She put them on about 2 1/2 years ago and hasn’t put them down since (she can’t see a wink without them!)

So, like mother like daughter, Maggie wanted a new paint color in her bedroom, and where there’s paint…there’s bedding, drapes, accessories, wine…it never ends, and I couldn’t WAIT to get started!

Maggie’s Bedroom Before

Here’s her room when we bought the house (old owner’s décor). It was cute, but not really ‘Maggie’.

Maggie’s Bedroom After

Maggie really wanted a pink room (oh, the horror!), so we (okay, me) chose Benjamin Moore Pink Bliss for the walls. Pink Bliss offers a wee whisper of pink with a super subtle coral undertone to stop it from looking like Pepto Bismol. I did this because I knew we could have fun with pink bedding and accessories, which would more than makeup for the ‘not-so-pink’ walls.

We have several of these Ikea Raskog Carts kickin’ around the house. One in each girl’s room, one in the homework closet (photos tba), and one in my office. It’s the perfect versatile piece for any room.

I also made a fabric corkboard for her by wrapping the corkboard with fabric, stapling it to the back of the frame, and using tacks to define the framed edge. It’s a great spot for all the artwork, photos, and school papers that otherwise barf all over my kitchen countertop (so eloquent, I know).

The chandelier was a secondhand find and was spray-painted a glossy white.

The Best Pink & Blush-Inspired Paint Colors

I’m pretty sure that the Ikea Kallax unit is the best thing that’s ever happened to me (except for wine…oh, and Tim, too). It holds her books, toys, and storage containers.

I also bought the drawer inserts for her crayons and coloring books. The desktop has already been used for everything from crafts and coloring to puzzles and playtime! (It came with two desktops, but we only use one).

And no room is complete without some heartfelt touches. In between her wee little baby shoes, jewelry box, and a pic of Big Grandpa, her bedroom has heart and soul.
