Easy accents for the "not-so-girly" Girl


Blue is the new pink for this "not-so-girly" girl.  



I  didn't want to overwhelm the room with decor. I'm trying to keep them pretty simple because I think it's easier to keep looking clean.  I found a cute green bedroom set at Target and used an old piece of a fence for a headboard.

I painted little trees on a canvas by taping off lines and then tracing the bottom of a glass for the blue circles.  I put our little green chair thingy underneath it to give her somewhere to sit and do her homework.  

For the curtain pulls, I bought some big antique looking doorknobs from Hobby Lobby and painted them white and then sanded the edges.

why not add a little vinyl?

And a couple of hooks by the door.
