More Paris ~ Ooh La La

Here are a few more tidbits I have worked on for my daughter's upgraded space. Since we have a hairbow monster that throws up too many hairbows and then hides them whenever we need one, we need somewhere to hide them from him. Sooo, I made this Bonjour Box.

We've got the big-girl bed moved upstairs and her new bedding. Let's see how long it takes me to actually finish the bed. The bed is an old oak bed that was passed down to us from my hubby's father. We actually have the whole set, but my hodge podge of furniture is crazily spread amongst the fam. The chest of drawers is in my bedroom, the dresser, and the nightstand are in my step-son's room. Oh well. I am planning on painting it black along with the rest of her furniture. My husband picks on me that if it's wood, it shall be painted. Do I have a bone to pick with wood? I think not! I just like color. And trust me, I have sooooo much wood in my cabin-like house that it almost suffocates me. He just doesn't know where the paintbrush may go next!

Here are some other Paris themed girls' rooms that I am using for inspiration. I love these! If my husband would let me do our room, I would!

The first few I found on Design Dazzle.

I love this room.

The black valance that resembles a French cafe is so adorable, isn't it?

The chalkboard paint adds such a nice touch to the doors. Hmmm...I have some of that paint...The wheels are turning, can you hear them?

I have been pricing chandeliers for my daughter's room. We really love one for $99 we have found at Home Depot. But now that I see this one, I want to create one like it! You can find those ugly brass chandeliers on Craigslist for practically nothing. One more project to add to my list! Check back for an update!

The next photo is from Titan Homeplans and costs $1400!!!

These are some Paris themed rooms featured on HGTV.com

I want to paint this dresser and the handles! Stark white is not my cup of tea! (Oh wait, we are in France, not England, but I still like tea especially on ice with lots of sugar.) Don't you also find the urge to add some dangly crystals to liven up the chandelier? I sure do! Life without bling, doesn't mean a thing!

I like this room, but I want to add some crown molding or something to give it some more vavavoom!

This one just seems too busy for my taste. It's still cute though.

Out of all the ones I found on HGTV.com, this last one is my fave. I love the classy decor and elegant lines. But hey, I'm stuck with fuchsia for now!
