Personal Princess Palace


One of my biggest regrets as a parent is that I didn't have a beautifully decorated nursery for the princess when she was born. We had the basics and we had each other which is really all we needed, but I still would have loved for my little princess to have her own personal tower.

While she was with her dad this holiday break, I decided to give myself the project of finally getting her room together. I bought some new to her furniture thanks to my best friend's parents and hired some guys to move it for me, then I went to the decorating mecca that is Target and went to work.

I didn't really have a picture in my head of what I wanted the room to look like. I just knew I wanted something very tween oriented to coincide with the princess getting older and being interested in so many new things. Like the genius mom I am, I asked her what kind of bedroom she wanted and she begged for a "superstar room". 

Given her hilarious and super excited reaction, I think I delivered.

Nightstand with family pics and her snow globe collection. Oh and that awesome lamp.

A few stuffed animal friends...she is still a little girl after all.

New bed with Rocky and CeCe bedding...they're on "Shake it Up!" in case you didn't know.


Grinning from ear to ear in her new room.

She wanted you to get the full effect of how she would enjoy her room. Seriously.

I'm so happy it came out so well and that she loves it. Sometimes Mom gets it right. :)

  4. This is so amazing! My mom did something similar for me, about that age.
    Up to that point, I had shared a room with my younger sister and she wanted me to have my own, more grown up space. I went to my cousin's for the weekend, and came home to a whole new room.
    It has always stuck with me what a nice gesture this was. Even at that age, I pictured my mom bustling around, and moving my room, all just for me. It meant, and still means a lot to me.
