I love my boys, but I have to admit, planning a girl’s room is twice as much fun for me! I love being able to be as girly and feminine as I want to be and not having to hold back one bit. It helps that Elyse is the girliest girly girl I could have asked for in a daughter. If it was up to her, the entire room would be pink everything. Don’t worry, I am here to bring some balance to this girl’s bedroom and shared nursery. Putting together this vision board for the girl’s shared bedroom was probably just as much fun as putting all the pieces together for the room has been. I cannot wait for it all to come together to show you the final piece!
Girl’s Bedroom
The room has already been set up and designed since Elyse (check out Elyse’s original nursery here at our old home – be gracious as the pictures have come a long way since then!) was a little girl, so there isn’t much changing. I originally went into planning the kid’s rooms so that they could grow into them. I didn’t want to change them once they grew out of the baby stage and her room has transitioned really well. The main changes have been just removing the baby items and replacing the crib with a twin bed. The color scheme for her nursery and girl’s bedroom was originally mint, coral, and gold and that hasn’t changed. She loves the colors and they have transitioned well into her big girl’s bedroom.

To make the room conducive for a baby, we just brought most of the nursery items back into the room. We are using all of the original nursery furniture and bedding and it flows perfectly with Elyse’s current bedding. I have to get more creative with nursery storage for various items to store for the baby that Elyse won’t mess with or get into too much. With a few cute storage options, it helps the nursery flow seamlessly into the room.

The idea is to keep the same color scheme so everything will move in seamlessly. We are changing the shade of mint in her room, but that’s mostly because we needed to touch up so many areas and it was better than trying to match it. Plus, my pink loving girl thinks it’s a little to green, but painting it pink was too much.
With a few pieces that can hold storage for both girl and baby items, everything will flow together well. I also thought ahead to make sure things matched and went well together that Evelynn could grow into and have something similar to Elyse in that area. I am really excited to see how it all pulls together. But for now, these vision boards are what I will swoon over.
