Progress in Lola's New Room


Good morning! I hope you all have had a wonderful week. I can't believe it's already Friday! This morning I wanted to share with you all the progress we've made so far in Lola's room, but also wanted to emphasize it's not finished yet. It has a little bit more of a grown up feel right now than it hopefully will when it's finished. Because we still are still on the hunt for some colorful pillows, fun artwork to hang above her bed and a cool tent we are just using some other things we already own as placeholders until we find the right more childish type pieces. For instance above her bed we hung our newest sign and although size-wise I like how it looks there I'd like to find something a little more fun and kid-friendly. And same with a some of the accessories - for instance, I'd like to switch out the lamps and some of the pillows when we find the right ones. That being said, now that all of the main pieces are in here I thought it would be fun to share.

The starting off point for her room was this wallpaper from our sponsor, Caitlin Wilson. It's the Grande Check in French Blue and its beautiful! She picked it out herself and I absolutely positively LOVE it! I love the oversized buffalo check and how bright and cheerful it looks yet it also is still somewhat traditional feeling. I think it fits her personality so perfectly and I was so excited with how it turned out.




I love how Deann's new painting looks over Lola's desk and against the wallpaper!




We already had her main furniture pieces from our last house (the daybed, desk, and chair), but we needed to add a dresser. I looked everywhere online and locally and didn't have much luck with the size I was looking for that was still in the price range I was looking and then one afternoon when I ran into HomeGoods just to grab something real quickly I spotted this one - it was the perfect size and goes so nicely in her room. I am planning on switching out the handles for some brass ones to go with the rest of the brass accents in her room. I actually meant to do that before I took these pictures but forgot - whoops! So hopefully by the next time I photograph her room I will have remembered to.  Right now we have this mirror we got from Savvy several years ago over her dresser but I may switch it out for a round one.


I've also bought a bunch of blue yard to make some pom-poms for her room and when I do I'll finally do a tutorial for them!


For Lola's bedding we once again went with our sponsor,  Beddy's! I can't rave about this bedding enough. It absolutely makes such a difference in our mornings! The girls can literally make their beds in less than a minute. The minky fabric is so cozy and I love what a difference it makes on a daybed! It's nice on any bed, but on a daybed it makes a huge difference!!! We went back and forth between one of the gray options and this Chic White. Even though the gray would have been pretty too, I am glad we decided on the white because I love how it pops against the wallpaper and how it will allow us to switch up the pillows. If you use the code DEARLILLIE20 you can get 20% off your order.  (We have now used Beddy's bedding in Lillie's new room, in our friends' little girls' room, in Lillie's room at our last house, in Lola's room at our last house, and Jamie used the bedding in Everly's room. We are huge fans!)

And these bookends were a fun addition:

  1. Jenni, I just can't get enough! You are my biggest guilty pleasure! I am guilty of not getting any work (that I'm suppose to be doing) done, because I start rearranging things. Let's not mention what I've purchased after seeing one of your post! You mentioned a post on your dining room coming up, but I have to ask; did you leave your gorgeous chandy from the dining room in the old house behind?

    1. Thanks so much, Crystal! Jenni did end up leaving all of the fixtures at their previous home.
