Isabelle’s Room

One of the hardest parts of decorating and furnishing our first home, is that there never seems to be enough disposable income that we can complete a space, start to finish, at one time.  Instead, we slowly purchase things here and there as we find them or as they’re needed.  Take Isabelle’s room {soon to be Charlotte’s as well}, for example.  It’s partially finished and I’m slowly working on it.  I just refinished a pair of vintage, twin beds to replace her trundle.   She still needs bolsters, bed skirts and a new lamp.  I also thought I’d DIY a pair of sunburst mirrors for over the beds.  The room seems a little lifeless in the color department, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to add more color!  I’m thinking of adding more of the green from her roman shade and introducing yellow.

For now, here is Isabelle’s partially finished room.
