This past fall, I mentioned to Lily & Ella, that we could redo their room in the next few months. We originally set up their room back in early 2015. Well, life got busy, and a few big family changes occurred (HERE and HERE). We were in Minnesota for 2 weeks over Christmas. So we're back home and now able to redo their room.
I asked the girls for some ideas. They mainly told me colors they would like. Ella loves yellow. Lily couldn't decide between dark green or teal. I made some selections and set up a little design presentation for them. The presentation included new bedding, accent fabrics, paint colors and new art. I also presented a redesign of their room with the beds LOFTED. They were both excited about that!
We first repainted the walls and then Jake began with the construction of the lofted beds.
One of us went to Lowe's every single day last week. I painted one accent wall underneath their beds for the desk and bookcase area.
I was able to snag 2 desks and 2 bookcases from a friend and her neighbor for $20 total.

Love the hanging lights. It's especially pretty and welcoming at night.
This sweet little couch used to be in our playroom, but our family of 6-7 outgrew it! Now it is perfect for a reading nook in the girls room. We took the legs off so it sits lower to the ground.
There are still a few finishing touches to work out. I would like to get them both an upholstered stool for their desks. Right now, everything I am finding is too much money so we will wait for something the right price and the right fit. I am also looking for new room darkening drapes that will match the new color scheme.
