Millie's patchwork wall and room makeover

 We finally got around to doing the patchwork wall that my little and I had been 
talking about for ages and we love it! 

Most importantly, she loves it.


These are some of her treasures on top of her antique wardrobe.

She had a blue gingham Pottery Bark Kids valence and red gingham painted finials from there as well, that had hung on her window since she was a baby. I painted those expensive finials with Duck Egg Blue ASCP and threw a vintage tablecloth that I'd had over the rod. Didn't even sew it! 


 her window art that she and I created a few years ago. We found the window in my Grandma's attic and the best part? It was already pink!




one of my favorite spots on the wall with the sweet bird


her pink dyed coffee filter "m" that I made and gave her for Christmas 2011. 
I'm thinking about offering these in my Etsy shop. What do you think??


another of my favorite spots on the patchwork wall. It has the word "dance" and both of my girls dance




love the framed sewing machine and Eiffel tower. 


I had most all of the frames in my stash for ages, except the yellow {a .25 cent thrift store score!} and pink{that Millie painted herself!}


we spent about two whole days working on this and it was totally worth it and fun to spend the time with my girl!

bulletin board

This is a bulletin board I made for Millie's room out of an old window I bought at an antique store. It was already that color. The floral fabric is an old bedsheet from a garage sale and the stripe is a remnant. I covered 12x12 cork tiles found at Hobby Lobby and hot glued them to a foam board piece cut to fit. Then I glued pink ric-rac across.
I had bought some vintage buttons a while back and so I had the thought to hot glue them to thumb tacks to make cute push pins. Now she displays her favorite art work and can change it out when she wants! It would also be cute to use a paned window frame that's missing the glass.
