a is for abigail, part two

Finally!  A finished room!

Remember, 
I was trying to create a room 
that was a  
fun but feminine
bright and happy, reflection of my girl

I will let the photos speak for themselves today.
In my next post 
I will give details 
and 
answer any questions you might have.
So ask away.

Enjoy, I know I am...

  1. Oh Rene, I just love what you did for your daughter. Everything looks so pretty. I am curious what the significance of the number 5 is. Is it perhaps a favorite number?

  6. Perfection! Makes me
    want to re-do my girl's
    room, even though she
    is a junior in HS! We've
    given it a few tweaks over
    the years, but she won't
    let me paint over the
    Beatrix Potter figures
    we had hand-painted
    on the walls {her choice}
    when she was six. I bet
    Miss A. was thrilled with
    the outcome!

  11. It looks like straight out of a magazine. My kids will not let me touch their rooms...they like to style them all on their own. Thankfully they are all creative and have good taste. I love love love every touch, especially all the A's...and the chandie! She is so cute! I like her style...her hair, torn jeans, and leather jacket with guitar under arm. My baby just turned 16 and he is the cheerful spirit in our home too. It is a blessing to have our babies give us so much joy while the older ones grow up and leave.

  31. Abigail's room turned out amazing...right down to every little personal detail:-) I bet it was fun too!

    Finally finshed window display...whew, am i glad because I've been sooo stressed about this one. Also, went away from the pink. It just wasn't coming together and the walls are a dark brown which I knew would make all my white "pop". Boy did it ever. I took photos, but was late in the afternoon, so not great and hard to take through window to get the full effect. You know everything looks better in person. I'm very happy with how it turned out:-)

    Hope all goes well for you....I know how you feel.

    xoxo

  67. "A" is also for absolutely gorgeous! The pictures speak volumes. White is a wonderful color to build upon, and the accent colors you used grab and hold the eye. What grabbed my eye & my heart? The framed words I love, "Where words fail... music speaks" and the detail to love.
