Color in the Girl's Room

What's the point of having four girls if you can't have a little pink?



Martha Stewart's tissue paper flowers hang over our girl's beds like little colorful clouds. I made them from a kit I found at Michaels.



When I first saw Maria from Dreamy Whites post about her girl's room, I saw that she had the same pom-poms in her girl's room. I love how she propped them like pillows on her girl's beds here:

I wanted a pop of color at the end of the white comforters on their beds, and these quilts fit the bill. To save money, I cut two quilts in half and hemmed the cut ends. Now all four of our girls get the burst of color for half the price! (Charlotte's toddler bed is across from their beds against a wall)



The quilts remind me of April Cornell. The pattern is the perfect mix of feminine and quirky. I found them at Target a few years ago, but sadly they no longer carry them.


There is some more color and quirk at the top end of their beds as well. I'll be posting about those babies tomorrow.

  1. How sweeet, I love their room. It would be so much fun to have a little girl. I have three boys. I don't think they would like pom-poms!

  7. Such a pretty room! How fun to have pink clouds in your room. I love having boys but I always dream about how I would have decorated a little girl's room!
    I wonder how they all do sharing a room ~
    Mine did great until they were about 12 then I couldn't seperate them fast enough! :)

  8. I have those very same pink Martha Stewart Pom Poms hanging over the crib in my daughters' room!! I LOVE those things! Love the pop of color your quilts added to the foot of the beds too...and how smart of you to chop em' in half!! I probably would have been to scared to cut them! You brave girl! Happy Wednesday to you.

  10. Beautiful bedroom! I love how the girls are all together! I love how the middle bed is different from the two on the outside. The wood detail on the walls are gorgeous. I want that bedroom!

  12. Beautiful! So fun to see other girls sharing a room. My three daughters share...and they have so much fun together. Those pom poms are just the thing they need to make a switch from the jumbo 3-D snowflakes we put up at Christmastime.

  15. Hi!
    I love your new post this morning. I am in the process of looking for a bed for my sweet baby girl Sofia who is turning 3 in a few weeks. I love the idea of the floral pom poms in the girls bedroom. I put those up in the family room last year all over the ceiling for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. It looked so pretty.
    Thank you for sharing!!!

  19. I had seen the picture of your girls room somewhere and didn't know it was yours. I love it! You did an amazing job. I have no little girls but I did just redo my boys room. Maybe someday I'll have that girl to put some pink in my life!

  23. Such a pretty room! The pom poms look delightful hanging from the ceiling. I too have added pops of pink in my daughters room. Will be showing pics soon I hope as I haven't quite completed it yet. I also noticed the horse figurines on the windowsill! Had to smile as my Lisa was all into horses/ponies when she was little too... take care, Maryann

  24. Rie, your daughters' room is simply beautiful!! I love the pom poms and after seeing Maria's post and then her post on your girl's room, I was inspired to make some in blue for our Isabella's room. I absolutely love the quilts on your girls' beds too - so clever of you to think to cut them in half!! But by far I think the best part about your girls' room is that all 4 of them can share that wonderful space, I can only imagine the gorgeous chatter and giggles that must occur:) Thank you so much for sharing more of your beautiful home Rie. Wishing you a lovely day ~ Tina x
