Today I thought I'd share some of my plans for Lola's new bedroom. Some I've shared before but it's now beginning to come together so please bare with me. I never set out with a style in mind but rather collected things I love and slowly a style has evolved. As I'm decorating on a budget, all of my purchases thus far have been bought for under $40 - the little vintage dress cost $36 and has been my biggest expense to date. I'm going to splurge on fabric.

I absolutely fell in love with these images on Desire to Inspire. Anna from Absolutely Beautiful Things stocks a gorgeous floral fabric similar to this in her shop Black and Spiro. It looks like a field of wild flowers doesn't it? I'm not going to attempt the upholstery myself (all that diamond pleating!) but I am going to sew a matching valance like on the bed above.
This was another great ebay purchase, a vintage childs mexican dress. I'm going to have it framed in a white frame and hang it above her bed.

My mother-in-law was getting rid of this dresser when I was pregnant with Lola so I brought it home and painted it in a high gloss pink. It's such a beautiful finish.
Such lovely pieces Amanda!
