Modern Blue Girls Room

Sharing is caring!

This month has been busier than I ever expected with so many fun projects, some I had planned out, others that just popped up but my goodness they are keeping me busy. Remember last spring when I revealed my daughter’s blue big girl room? Well to be honest, there was something about it that just didn’t turn out exactly the way I envisioned, I mean 90% right but I felt like it needed a few tweaks. So over the past few months I’ve been shopping my house and made a couple new purchases to turn it into the Modern Blue Girls Room that I was going for.

Modern Blue Girls Room

I realized that the chunky loop throw I had in the last reveal had a few lavender tones in it which changed the coloring of the entire room. I really wanted more navy incorporated into here and a little more black and that wasn’t working as well in the first version of this room. Sometimes it takes one small thing like removing the throw blanket to help me change the direction in there.

What I love most about the changes is that I didn’t have to spend or change much to feel like I got it to where I wanted it. I “shopped my house” and found some extra navy pillows I had set aside, I did purchase this new set of black and white throw pillows to had some more geometric touches in here. Such a good price for the pack!

On this view I changed out the gray curtains to a textured white to give it a little more of a light and airy look in here. I grabbed them at HomeGoods, such a good place for inexpensive 96″ curtains!

Kids Bedroom Desk

I added some shelves above her desk with a few keepsakes and fun elements. Nice and simple.

Annnnd I finally did something with this corner! I moved the full length mirror from our bedroom (we are getting a new one) into here and found this adorable hanging planter that finally finished off the corner.

I can honestly say I don’t plan on changing anything else in here anytime soon. I’m finally really happy and content in here. I love soft and subtle look in here but it also had a bit of edge too. I still love that she chose blue!

If you want to look wayyyy back, here is my original inspiration for the room. I wanted a very Pottery Barn Teen/RH Teen look in here. What do you think? Did I get there?

Tween Room

My daughter isn’t exactly a tween just yet, we are getting close, but that is the style of the room she is asked for. And I know this will last for many years to come!

Bedroom With Night Glow

They are so close but different. I’ll be doing our windows and gutters in black. Trying to decide which one works best with our stone!

I love that each of our kids have requested a read I love that each of our kids have requested a reading corner from in their rooms. While they don’t always read here, it’s always nice to walk in and find them relaxing, playing on games or electronics and feeling like they have a space of their own that they helped create! And I must say, I’ve spent some time in this chair while we do homeschool and it’s pretty cozy!

Ready for a good before and after?! It’s amazing Ready for a good before and after?! It’s amazing how much this section of our family room has changed this year and also with just three changes. I took out the carpet and installed hardwoods, did a German Schmear on the stone and covered our existing mantel! That’s it! It’s crazy how much it changed the look. Ok, and we moved the tv to the wall and replaced it with a mirror, so four changes 😉.

I’ve been working on the small finishing details I’ve been working on the small finishing details in this room all week, the things I put off doing forever and honestly really have no patience for 😂 but they have to get done. Like adding quarter round, wood filler, caulking, and making things looks more polished. It’s not very exciting but necessary! Hoping to get starting on some new stuff soon!

Well it only took us 6 years but we are so happy to finally have beautiful window treatments from @blindsterdotcom in our kitchen! Our summer evenings are officially changed!

Happy Friday! Did you know I do a weekend Q&A box Happy Friday! Did you know I do a weekend Q&A box in my stories every Friday night?! If you ever need a link or have a question about a space, product or just general question for me, this is the best time to ask! Sometimes it’s hard to see every question in comments (especially if they are on older posts) and IG really needs to update the messaging system so it’s easier to organize 😅. Just wanted to share that here in case you haven’t seen it!
