HER FIRST APARTMENT- GIRL'S BEDROOM WITH GINGHAM BEDDING

Wednesday, August 12, 2026

HER FIRST APARTMENT- GIRL'S BEDROOM WITH GINGHAM BEDDING

Our daughter recently moved out of town (out of state!😢) to start her full time job after wrapping up her MBA in May .  She has a roommate and they found a beautiful apartment complex in a great spot, we feel like we're on vacation when we go to visit!  Her roommate already had almost everything to furnish the living room so we didn't do any decorating in there, but I did help Emily get her bedroom together.  It was a challenge for both of us... me to restrain myself and her to stretch herself- ha! She doesn't like a lot of extra and likes to keep things simple.  I wanted more pattern mixing, color, pillows, wall art, a rug and lots of layers to make things super cozy- she wanted neutrals, one pillow, wasn't sure about a mirror over the bed, limited artwork, didn't need a rug. I did listen to her and ask her what she wanted and liked along the way- it is her room after all!- and made some adjustments to my original plan. Also, when I arrived to install what I had ......

EMILY'S COLLEGE APARTMENT TOUR- {GIRL'S COLLEGE DORM OR APARTMENT DECORATING IDEAS}

EMILY'S COLLEGE APARTMENT TOUR- {GIRL'S COLLEGE DORM OR APARTMENT DECORATING IDEAS}

My daughter moved off campus this year and is living in an apartment with a few other girls. (See her dorm room last year here if you missed it.)  In August I shared a few spaces with you but wanted to share a full tour including their living room which I haven't posted at all yet.  So let's begin the tour there!  The star of the show in this room is definitely the cute botanical wall art.  I still had lots of pages left in the book I used for my kitchen botanical gallery wall , so I cut a few more out.  ( My exact book fluctuates terribly in price, but you could use any botanical book or even search to print free pictures online to achieve a similar look.) I picked up the gingham canvases on major clearance from the Summer collection at Hobby Lobby.  They were only a few dollars each and I thought a grouping of them with art mounted on top would be cute and cost effective for the girls' apartment.  ( This old project that I did years ago gave me ......

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE- TEEN GIRL'S BEDROOM REVEAL

Hello everyone, Welcome!  I'm so glad you found yourself here today for the reveal of my daughter's Teen Girl's Bedroom Reveal!  If you're new here I'm Jennifer and I have no special title or training other than I like to decorate my home and share it with all of you!  You'll quickly see that I love bold color, mixed and matched patterns, and a mix of new, DIY, and vintage/secondhand items.  People occasionally ask me how I label my style, and honestly I have no idea!  If it catches my eye, it comes home with me and we make it work.  I'm excited to share my latest project with you today! I'd like to give a huge thank you to Linda, the creator of the  One Room Challenge , for all she's done to organize and oversee this challenge.  This is always the best opportunity to tackle a project, get things done, and Linda is a fantastic cheerleader throughout the process! For the past 6 weeks (literally, I decided to join the challenge the night before......

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE- GIRL'S BEDROOM BEFORE {WEEK 1}

I honestly can't believe I'm jumping into this, because until yesterday I had absolutely no plans to, but we're in for another round of the One Room Challenge!  (And I say "we're" because the ORC is always a family affair around here!) If you're unfamiliar with the One Room Challenge , it's a biannual 6 week event made up of two parts- "Featured Designers" who are selected by the organizer and share their designs every Wednesday, and "Guest Participants" who can choose to participate on their own and link up their post with other bloggers taking part each Thursday.  It's not a contest, the "challenge" is personal for each participant to get a space finished.  Regardless of the group, a whole lot of people accomplish a whole lot of pretty things over those 6 weeks! I have participated in the One Room Challenge twice in the past, and I can't believe those projects are now 2 and 3 years old! Powder Bath......

THIS HOUSE: OUR HOME FOR 10 YEARS

We can hardly believe it, but this month marks our 10th anniversary of living in this house. My parents have never moved since they married almost 50 years ago, so I always lived in the same house growing up.  After marrying, we moved around a bit, but this is the longest I've ever lived in a house other than my childhood home.  My husband's dad is a pastor, so they moved around throughout his childhood and our current home is the one he's lived in the longest in his life.  So, it's quite a milestone for many reasons! ...

BEST OF 2015 {MAKEOVERS}

BEST OF 2015 {MAKEOVERS}

Today I'm closing out 2015 by sharing my best makeovers from the past year.  What is it about a great before and after that we all love so much? We started early in the year with my  Girl's Bold and Colorful Bedroom Refresh .  We had redone her room several years before, but it needed a few improvements such as a bigger bed, new headboard, new bedding and different nightstands . (We later added the marquee light over her bed, this was just a quick Instagram photo.) Not surprisingly, many of this year's makeovers centered around my Master Bedroom Makeover this past Spring, since that was probably my biggest project of the year.   $20 Shiny Brass Chandelier Makeover - from shiny and swirly to warm gold and modern. Orange-y Oak Armoire Makeover - My dad made this massive armoire from scratch so it will always be in our family, but the orange tone had to go!  This was my first experience using gel stain and I loved it. Dated coloni......
