lovely little lady's room

life is truely lovely in little ella's room....
come on in,
pull up a little stool,
and get ready to twirl in front of the mirror (with or with out beads...your choice)
she and i have had so much fun making this space hers. 
really.
i have never experienced anything like this with my boys.
she is just as into it as i am.
hanging up her plastic beads with care and choosing just the right lamp.
i hung the garland one night when she slept so she'd wake up to a "party"...
she calls her bed a "party bed"
since isn't that why you hang garland?
{the AWSOME fabric covered frame was inspired by amy's post.
thanks for the inspiration...always, amy.}
{the bedding is from TJ Maxx/ Homegoods.}
one of the main ideas she had (i did not even suggest it!)
is that there would be a mirror for her to twirl and twirl in front of....
and that little mirrored area is her favorite part of her room, i think (besides the pink sheets).
she is finding many uses for that mirror.



including, but not limited to, twirling...
and twirling....
and twirling....
how lovely.

(i have to add that the bed was found on craigs list by my cutie friend, julie. (i heart you, julie)
she was generous enough not to scoop it up herself, but share the listing with me!
she new i was looking for one and was a "non-craigs-lister".
so now i have an amazing bed...and i didn't even have to paint it since the color went perfectly with our color scheme! yay! yay! yay!)

i have been saving this for linking up to
my girl, heather's famous
life made lovely monday.

click over there and see the other loveliness, like you always do.

  1. holy moly! miss ella's room is delicious! and you aren't kidding- julie really is a GOOD friend to not scoop that beauty up. we're working my girls room this week. she's turning two on saturday so she's getting a big girl room. all the decorating is keeping me from being sad that she's already so darn big.
    p.s. fabric covered frame! totally genius. i'm doing that tonight.

  15. beyond incredible. the "hello sunshine"- what is that? details please? and the fabric wrapped frames- totally stealing, i mean copying, that idea... and the fact that you hung the garland while she was sleeping- such a fun mommie! and the fact that she asked for the mirror so she could twirl- it's so innate in little girls that i have a hard time believing it. so beautiful, so perfect.

  16. i would live there. what a special place for her! LOVE.

  18. This is my favorite! I can't believe you found that smashing bed on CL. Also, methinks Ruby could use a twirling mirror... ;)

  31. I love ella bellas new room. You did a great job girlie!! Love the bed, and the garland with pom poms, but I think my favorite is the bar with all of her dress-up dresses hanging, and the twirl mirror. I'm totalling stealing these ideas for miss natalie's room!! You did great chicky!!
