I could literally squeal with excitement over this next little project – collaborating with Sister on a perfectly pink room for CeeCee. While our styles are a little different, mine leaning towards ruffly and fru fru and hers being more understated and neutral, we are both decidedly traditional, we adore antiques and we fill our homes with things that we love. I think together we will really end up with a lovely and inspiring space for our best girl. Now, CeeCee is a girl who knows what she wants and she has four things on her wish list so far – a real bed, lots of pink, a tea set and a basket for books.
We spent a day last week shopping around Atlanta. It was SO much fun to have a girly day of furniture, bedding and accessory shopping. These are two of my faves from the incredible Restoration Hardware store in Buckhead.
She was so genuinely exited to be shopping for her big girl room!! Can’t you tell?
We have narrowed down hundreds of texts, exchanges and finds from our shopping excursion into two overall mood boards. They are very similar, with the key difference being the fabric.
Choice 1: Ikat Fabric
This is the best pic we could find of this great fabric. It has bright pink, light pink, touches of light aqua and a deeper brown color. The fabric would be used for curtains for the two windows and as cushions on the kid sized ghost chairs.
Choice 2: Trellis Fabric
This lovely pink trellis fabric would be used on the curtains and seat cushions, like the ikat. It also pairs well with a lovely floral wallpaper which we would use to line the back of a gorgeous antique glass front display cabinet.
Sister already has some great pieces for the room and we have decided on the other key things:
- Daybed from Restoration Hardware (to purchase)
- Matching dresser from Restoration Hardware (to purchase)
- Small antique pie crust table to be used as play table with kid sized ghost chairs
- Crystal chandelier
- Antique glass front cabinet to display keepsakes – will line with wallpaper or paint inside to brighten it up (not pictured)
- Small dressing table with mirror above (not pictured) – need chair or bench
- Antique cradle for her dolls and doll house
- Rug from Pottery Barn
And here’s what we would love your thoughts on:
- Fabric choice 1 or 2 – HELP!!!
- We each chose one of the pieces of pictured art, and we each love the one we chose best :-) We will use both, but which one should go over the bed?
- Lamp or two sconces over the dresser? Or picture light? Space will also play a factor.
- Bedding – have you seen any lovely pink and white bedding? We love the look of a quilt with a duvet.
- Chair or bench for the dressing table? We found the pink upholstered chair and the furry topped bench and love both!
We are so excited to see what y’all come back with. When we were at an impasse on the fabric, Sister said “take it to the blog”!
