Today is the monumental day when we call Greta's "big girl room" done-zo. We have been working on it since the end of November. And now, four months later, we are so happy our girl has a beautiful room that makes her (and us) happy. It's warm and playful and calm and fitting for Greta the great. Here are a ton of pictures that capture it and her in it.
Greta's room has been the most rewarding room we have renovated to date. I mean, just look at that smile. A special thank you to my sister, Andi, of Doublclik for capturing Greta in her room so perfectly.

I love it ALL! The wall, the bed, the curtains, the closet...how much gushing can I do before it gets to be awkward? (Without being totally spammy, I included it in a roundup of "big girl" rooms and wanted to let you know :)
Beautiful! I love that bed and the closet is so sweet!
I absolutely LOVE Greta's big girl room! I want it to be my room! <3
I love the overall- the gallery wall, pelmet, and closet especially. But I can't get over that those butterfly's looks like bats!!
Haha. Avilynn, funny somebody already asked for them and I sent them their way. Don't be afraid to speak up next time. ;)
This is so beautiful! I love her gallery wall!
P.S. If you decide to not use her old curtains anywhere, I will buy them in a heartbeat if you're willing to ship. I can't even find a used set on eBay.
I'm so in love with it all!
I love the butterflies! They're perfect in there.

Very nice! Greta looks so happy :)
Love the room. Love Greta.
I freaking love it! Love, love, love it!
I love the finished product. It was so neat to watch the process come together. The pictures of her using and playing in her room are so special! Good job, guys!
Such a beautiful makeover!
So pretty. Great job :)
What a cutie pie!! She looks so happy. What a rewarding room makeover :)
THIS ROOM IS BEAUTIFUL! I love all your art pieces and how it all goes together!
Is her bed the only piece of furniture in the room?
Yup! Her room is pretty small and all of the storage is in her closet. Although when she gets older, we will add a nightstand and lamp, I'm sure.
Julia, you guys did a great job on her room! Greta is a lucky girl :). The closet is my favorite part! You have awesome taste in paint colors (as always!). I'd love to feature this...let me know if you're interested!
Thanks Jena. You're more than welcome to share it.
It turned out to be such a happy space for a darling little girl! I wish I could finish up my daughter's room, it's 80% done so far!
Looks fantastic! Love the action shots. :)
I love how calm it is, so many times kids rooms are just too crazy busy! And Greta looks so darn cute in that little (big??) bed reading her book.
Love herrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
The room is absolutely perfect!
How did the paint end up coming out of the carpet? Glad Greta likes her room!
We had it professionally cleaned immediately after the accident, and it looked so much better, but there is a hint of pink still there. It doesn't look like they are going to replace it. Apparently for the carpet to stay under its lifetime stain warranty, it has to be professionally cleaned every 6 months--and we have to have proof. Who does that?! So, :/
