Last year I went to town decorating her room. Lots of pillows were made, as well as other embellishments. I loved personalizing it for our sweet girl. This year I've added ballet accents.
So here's a tour...Let me start by saying this room is TINY. Some people's closets are bigger than our girl's room. But that's okay, because she's little, too.
As you enter the room, you see one wall has a window and two built-in closets made by the original homeowner. They're great for storage. However when we upgraded our girl's crib to a vintage iron twin bed (scored on craigslist!), we realized the 2nd closet's door must be removed. We wouldn't be able to open it with the bed there, so I replaced the door with lace curtains.

Ballet-inspired trophy...
I found 3 lovely old ballet prints at a local flea market this weekend, and propped them on her shelf along with some vintage ballet slippers:
They coordinate with the ballet art I made on the opposite wall:
Her princess bed, with Simply Shabby Chic duvet cover...
Several years ago, I purchased a shower curtain from HomeGoods (or TJ Maxx) because I loved the pattern on the cotton fabric. I held onto it until I had a perfect room to showcase this fabric. I was able to use the entire shower curtain to make this pillow with pom-pom trim...

...this quilted throw at the foot of her bed...
...heart pillow...
...and the fabric behind this chicken-wired cabinet door.
One shower curtain goes a long way!!!
This vintage doll crib was a Brimfield find from two years ago. I made cushions to keep her dolls comfy:
Over our little girl's door hangs fancy dresses for play, and her handmade tote for ballet class:
I had fun making these pillows to cozy up on. They lie atop her basket of dress-up fun...
Our little girl loves the room, and I know she loves her quilt!
Hope you enjoyed the tour. Come back again to visit!
I'll be linking this post with Beverly's Pink Saturday, too.

The room set up looks so similar to my daughters room that we are in the process of redoing. Looks fabulous!
What a little doll she is and she deserves a beautiful room! I love the ballet theme, and especially the pretty comforter and the skirt around the window. You did a great job, Susan, it's fit for a princess!

Very pretty - the room and the girl :-) Great idea to use the shower curtain to its fullest!

Oh my Goodness, you really made that shower curtain work for you! Do you know, I still have fabric I've been saving for "one day". That print is amazing by the way, and her room is perfect for a Princess. Wonderful job, xxx

Oh, I so enjoyed your tour. Your daughter's room is just so precious, and she is beautiful! Sometimes shower curtains have great fabrics. I repurpose them too :).
Have a wonderful day!

So precious! It's every little (and big) girl's dream.
Happy Pink Saturday!
What an inspiring burst of creative power! ;-) More! More!
Trust me...I will be beck. I love your blog, and this post is absolutely precious. I especially like the little banner you made. I made one to it for my little granddaughter and it is one of the favorite things I have ever made her. There is something about the little banners in girls’ rooms which is so feminine and whimsical. All of your picture are precious with the one in the hammock being my favorite of all. HPS.
Oh my gosh, your daughter is so beautiful and her room is so gorgeous--She and the room both look like they should be in a magazine!!! WOW!
Happy Pink Saturday!

What a doll. I'm sure she is going to love that room forever. How lucky for her that Mommy wanted her to have a special beautiful place of her own. I just wish I still had a little one to fuss over too.
Stay in the pink
