Genevieve's Toddler Room + Room for Toys.
9:00 AM
Here's the low down. I've
My favorite part is her little bed nook. It's so cozy and cute.
Close up of the bed...and notice that the fun pom pillow from this post is gone. That's because little miss how-dare-you-require-me-to-nap decided to pull the poms off of it. That made me so sad. Oh how I loved that pillow and it was grey so it toned down the brights a bit. I ended up stealing the bright lumbar pillow from Nadia's room to take its place.
I love the oversized photo of her above her bed. I plan to add one of Nadia when she moves in :) The pom mobile took two tries but in the end I really like how it turned out. I made the green elephant pouf. It was my first project on my sewing machine and I'm so eager to make another one after going through it once.
This is the view from her bed--the bookshelf. The blue locker bin on top has legos in it. The baskets have headbands, puzzles, odd shaped books, and blankets/sheets in them. (In case you're curious about the organization aspect). The little containers on the side beside the toy box have blocks and Minnie Bow-Tique pieces in them.
I love organizing kids' books by color.
Details of the bookshelf-- felt heart garland, frame + free printable, stuffed elephant from Target, Bin of Legos, piggy bank, jewelry holder (from her nursery), and princess and E.B. White books (also from her nursery).
This is the perspective when you step into her room and look at the opposite wall. Chevron wall Tutorial is here (I still love it!).
And this is the toy box area. I made the "drapes"--drapes in quotes because they're not lined or anything. So basically I just sewed rectangles. hashtag keepin it real. The bins aren't organized enough to label but there are dolls in one, dress up clothes in one, tiny toys in one, and miscellaneous bigger toys in the other. I love this toy box. It's from Ikea and has taken a beating for almost 3 years and has held up well. If it continues to last, I'd love to make a cushion for the top of it and treat it like a window seat.
This is the dresser area (opposite wall from the bed). Now that the girls share a room, I've removed some of these items and it's much "cleaner" looking.
Beside the dresser, her little kitchen/pretend play area:
And another favorite aspect of the room: the gallery wall which is above the kitchen and beside the dresser:
And lastly, a random shot of their closet door (used to hang dress up clothes) and jewelry holder:
And that's it! I wish I could have gotten the entire room in one shot ! As I type this, my kiddos are officially sharing a room (well is it still official if I have Nadia nap in her "old room" in her crib?) and Nadia is in her big girl bed! So it doesn't look like this anymore. That was fun while it lasted.
DIY Projects:
Heart Garland. Chevron Wall. Elephant Pouf. Jewelry Memo Board. Gallery Wall. Bed Skirt. Painted Dresser. Pom Mobile. Chevron Fan.

Stunning! Love everything about this! All of the gorgeous colors, patterns and it's just fun! I'd love to live in that room!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessica! Labor of love...as always. ;)
DeleteGreat job! You made great use of a small space. If I were a little girl, I would love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!! Now if only I could keep it as neat as it was for these photos! ;)
DeleteI Love how gorgeous and colorful it all is! And I don't think it looks too cluttered at all xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsyn! Now that I've shoved her sister in there with her....it's definitely cluttered! lol. Of course today Genevieve told me she "didn't like her toys," so perhaps I should remove them all? ;)
DeleteI LOVE this room! So pretty and colorful!! Makes me wish I had a girl. I just have a toddler boy for now. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber! After decorating for 2 girls I couldn't wait to design for a boy and then it happened and I was totally overwhelmed! ha! I finally feel like it's coming together but still a bit nervous it's too polished for a little boy! Wish me luck. ;)
DeleteWow! I'm so inspired! I need to finish decorating my daughter's room. You did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brittany! I find we never really finish do we?! They grow so quickly and their needs change! Since this post, we've moved out and I can't wait to determine what their next room will be like!
DeleteHi...where did you get the bookcase from??
