16We made it! I have completed my first ever ORC. Six weeks of throwing fabric around, painting things, and spinning my sewing machine at full speed. This is my Kids Bedroom Design Final Reveal! My little lady gets her room back, at last… well, minus a couple little details, but we’ll get to that.
This is exciting! Welcome — step right in… (This post may contain affiliate links. This means, should you end up making a purchase, advertisers give me a small percentage of that sale, at absolutely NO EXTRA COST to you. Click here for full disclosures).
At first glance you get a nice long look at some of that Minted Artwork. That adorable deer is “Fleeting” by Betty Hatchett. The little jig in the wall (due to the new closet), created the perfect little nook for him. And, you can spy the “new” thrifted bed in the background…
Hallelujah! All the pillows from week 4, got finished up, and made it on to the bed, along with some coordinating curtains. That little floral fabric sorta became my favourite as the whole ‘Kids Bedroom Design’ came together.
This is where the little lady likes to sleep, right beneath that killer watercolour by Lindsay Megahed, available at Minted. We’ve got a plethora of comfy plaids and buffalo checks, and to be honest, I kind of wish I could move in.
Of course, she’s got all of her buddies to hang out with her. She was thrilled up finally unpack her toys and games that have been in storage almost 5 months. Cruel, isn’t it? But, now it feels like Christmas for her!
Now for a little unfinished business. That dresser needs a little update. Have no idea what I’d like to do to it — but it’s a little orange, and needs a little sumpthin’. Also, the door trim and baseboard moulding didn’t make it up. Would you believe the first few pieces got installed as I was beginning to write this post?! (post-photography). We were thiiiiiiiis close. And, the moulding really finishes it off. (It looks so good. I’ll have to share it with another upcoming room design).
There was a lot of good stuff happening this week too. The art is hung, curtains are sewn, and the beds are made. Yes, I said beds. Plural. The huge win was — WE HAVE TWO BEDS! Yippee! If you remember last week, we hit a little snag in that department. So, those second set of bed rails was a welcome arrival for sure!
One of the first finds for the room was that great rustic farmhouse light fixture! It looks so great hanging over top of all this doneness. (It’s a word).
The more that gets done around here, the more it’s starting to feel like our home again. Looking forward to some relaxing. Never did make it to that “drink on the deck” part of the to-do list. But — I’ll get there this weekend, I’m sure.

Hi! Beautiful room! Just wondering where you ordered the bed rails from?
Thanks Andrea. I bought the bed rails from Sears. They were a special order and were delivered to my satellite store location. Hope that helps!
Jen, this space is absolutely fabulous. I love how you’ve gracefully melded different patterns and plaids together to create a beautiful, refreshing space for your daughter. It all works together perfectly. Great job!

I am doing a blog article on my favorite ORC rooms, and I really love this bedroom. Could I use one of your photos? If you have a specific one that you prefer, I could use that. If not, I would love to choose one. I intend to publish the article tomorrow. (Thursday)

I love how you mixed and matched color and pattern in this room! And how the art above the bed is not exactly matching each other, well done!
Thanks Roxanne! I love that part too ;) This was a fun room to do.
This looks great! I’m sure it will look even better with all the trim, but that is great that the bed rails arrived in time!
Phew! We were so close. Just a few finishing touches and it’ll really be done! ;)
