Teen Flower Power Bedroom

This room turned out exactly as we had imagined it... We started with a bedspread that had a hot pink, orange and yellow pattern. We painted 3 walls a vivid orange, and left one accent wall pale pink. We accented with orange and pink pillows, found some great cube shelves that are painted inside, and hung a fringed fabric pendant light that has a floral pattern in all the right colors.
On the accent wall, we stenciled funky flowers, and even stenciled a few on the white wooden blinds (which you can see when the blinds are closed). We hung a decorative sign which says, "Marche aux Fleurs," (French for "Flower Market") directly over the bed. But the WOW came when we attached the giant paper daisies and large paper peonies to the wall. The cube shelves and paper flowers create a 3-D effect, and the walls really pop.

Giant Paper Flowers

I found these lit houses at a local auction, and decided to use them as the anchor to a garden theme bedroom for our daughters. The walls were a deep periwinkle blue with bright white trim. We mounted the houses to the wall (they are just props -- the doors don't open) and the girls loved to use them as nightlights -- really big nightlights!

I made picket fence headboards painted white, and found sheer shower curtains with colorful appliqued flowers to use as window treatments.

I used the large gerbera daisies "planted" in galvanized French Flower buckets as accents. They were a simple, perfect finishing touch, and the girls just loved their new room.

We even put plastic glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling, so at night the houses would glow and they could look up at the stars. It was magical!
