Wow, our family has been so busy this Summer with traveling, kid 1's baseball and kid 2's swim team...that my Diy to-do list has been s-l-o-w moving! But with Summer winding down and Fall just around the corner...I'm excited to finally get back to doing what I love...Diy projects!
I finally finished painting my daughter's bedside table! You may remember from a previous post, this bedroom furniture below was the Hubby and I's first bedroom set 15 years ago when we were first married. It's Fontana and used to be a light oak color. But with it's traditional lines I knew it would be perfect in my daughter's room painted white!
I almost painted this furniture a creamy heirloom white, but the main colors in the room are pink, purple and green...and I love how these colors contrast against the crisp white!
And to further update her room I purchased two fun accessories from Target...a funky retro lamp for under $20, and a fun vintage floral throw pillow I snagged on clearance for just $9.99...yup, total score!!
This bed still doesn't have a headboard yet (that's a fun project just waiting to happen!). So to give the bed more heighth and presence against the large purple wall, I added lots of pillows and framed simple scrap book papers above...click here for this super easy project!
Here's one last final look! This room went from kinda boring with a dark n' dated oak side table and a plain ole' lamp...to fresh n' bright with the simple addition of a revamped bedside table, a funky retro lamp, and a vintage floral throw pillow. Total spent (since the paint I already had)... just $30!

I think the nightstand looks great white ~ good choice, Jane! : ) I need a headboard still, too. I keep saying I need to get to a thrift store by me that carries more furniture than Goodwill does. Hopefully, that will happen in the next few weeks. I'm also hoping it cools down a bit so that I can clean and paint whatever I do find!
It look fabulous!! You are right it really pops against the purple and pink.
What an adorable room! I would have loved a room like that when I was little. Thanks for sharing on Skip to My Lou! :)

What a fun and cheery room-love all the colors!
ahhh.. my fave room! so cheerful! and fun too!
My oldest daughter would love this bedroom. I almost want to go out and buy some purpe paint and head upstairs and start painting right now. Really cute.
Visiting from "Creations by Kara".
This is so great! I have a nightstand that sits next to my bed that is just begging for a project like this. It's amazing what a little paint can do!
You did a remarkable job on her room. The colors just blend together so well. Nicely done and a room any young lady would enjoy having.
What a cute room! Are those purple glass knobs on that bedside table? Awesome! I would love to find a Liberty of London throw pillow like that on clearance at my nearest Target. That one matches the teapot I bought this spring.
what a cheery room! you did a great job on the chest. thanks for sharing.
Wow, I love it... you did a great job! Thanks for sharing!
Great job, Jane! That old nightstand looks perfect in your daughter's room. Good choice on the paint, too...definitely needed to be crisp white.
Thanks for linking to my blog party. I'd love to have you link to one of my parties each week.

Oh. My. Gosh! My daughter's room is the same color as here! So now, I sooooo need to find a bedside table! Yes, I'm a copycat. But only of good ideas. :P
Could that room BE any more adorable!? No! haha. The colors are so cute! I'm loving the bedside table as well - great job.
