From nursery to little girl's room
Man, time flies.
I designed a tiny little nursery for one of my best friends' daughter about 4 years ago. Since then, she moved in with her brother to make way for a new baby, whose nursery had to turn back into an office, and now it's time to move Lucy back into her own room and let the boys share. Time for an update!
They never took down the custom pelmets (which, I mean, hooray!) and they still have a wonderful crocheted floral rug we selected from Serena and Lily. My job: to make the most of an 9x10' room and bring on the girl factor.
This is the (tight!) layout:
The desk can double as a vanity, nightstand, and play or art surface, and will be the thing you see form the hallway. (We wanted to tuck the clutter within the room.) At the foot of the bed there is room for a pair of poufs to pull out for extra seating or a pair of floor baskets for extra storage.

I love how the shape of the pelmet is repeated in the mirror and headboard, and the little ribbon shape of the chair is repeated in the euro sham. The palette is definitely girly, but the main pieces are not purple or pink--plenty of room for an updated palette in the future.
I always say girls rooms are my favorite to do, and this was no exception!
