After finishing the Study, I was really craving a home project with a lighter lift (is there such a thing?). Although no project is without its bumps and hiccups, slowing down and renovating Faye’s bedroom was exactly what my heart, head, and body needed. It’s been an absolute delight working with her over the last few months, letting Faye take the lead in designing a room that she loves, making the both of us happy. And so, without further ado, here’s Faye’s new bedroom!

Does a Bedroom Have to Have a Closet?
Quick & Easy Curtain Hanging Tip
Before
This photo was taken right when we moved in. The only thing we changed was pulling up the carpet and laying hardwood floors throughout the house. But the sponge-painted walls and everything else stayed the same over the last 2 years. One of the very first things we did to kick off the makeover in Faye’s room was take out the closet to bring some symmetry to the space. The closet was a dark hole of lost things, cutting into the right window, so we took it out and brought in a dresser and armoire for functional storage.

I love that this room is a mix of new things, things from our Pottery Barn Kids Collection, old things, and used things. Faye is such a collector, so every bit of this makes sense.

After we removed the closet, we installed this wallpaper that Faye picked out of all these other selections. She really went with her gut, and I absolutely love how it came together and so does Faye.
This room was heavily inspired by our Pottery Barn Kids collection, but it wouldn’t be a CLJ room without incorporating pieces from our other collaborations – the Loloi rug and Shades of Light chandelier.
These curtains are the gift that keeps on giving. Originally they were made for Polly’s modern cottage bedroom and have since hung in Greta’s room and now Faye’s room. The print is one of my favorites because it’s incredibly versatile and fits with my whole home color palette, and I’m so happy to have found a more permanent place to hang them.

Every time I see this view, I’m so glad we made the decision to remove the closet. It opened up this room so so much and the room functions much better without it. Faye loves having a dresser to store and display all these cute things, as do I.
This darling bedding is so Faye. The reversible quilt and shams feature two designs that can be easily interchanged, but I love how the embroidered floral design is so dainty and whimsical. It’s the touch of girlish fun that this space deserves.
Having a space for Faye to sit and read, draw, or play her ukulele wouldn’t have even been possible without removing the closet. I wasn’t sure there was going to be room for a chair, but it was high on her wish list and I’m so glad we were able to fit one in. I love that she has a space to do everything her heart desires in her very own room.
For a while, I was a bit stumped over what artwork to hang in these frames. Finally, I had the idea to look through public-domain art, and I stumbled upon these vintage illustrations from the original Wizard of Oz book series, illustrated by W. W. Denslow. The Wizard of Oz is somewhat special and nostalgic to our family, and wouldn’t you know, they fit in with the color scheme in Faye’s room.
These prints are the perfect amount of vintage and eclectic. The great part about the frames is that they can easily open and close from the front, and Faye can eventually swap in and out her own artwork if she wishes. Isn’t that every child’s dream??
In case you’re wondering, we’re still very much in love with this darling armoire. The mirrored fronts allow it to double as a full length mirror! So nice!

And there you have it! A 360 of Faye’s finished room. It feels so good to check off another project from our 2023 list, and I’m sighing with relief before jumping to the next. Any guesses on what’s coming next??

Let her be a kid with fun colors and creativity. This is a very boring and old lady bedroom for a little girl.
Alright, I’m curious. What happened to the old bed that was similar to the one from your line? I’m dying to know if it fell apart like mine. I actually bought it after seeing you feature it a few years ago and while I love the look, the thing was a piece of crap. The footboard has cracked twice and there are tons of reviews reporting the same thing. Is this why you dumped it?
it broke in the move :/
Lots of cool ideas! Do all of her clothes fit in the armoire and dresser, or do you have other storage somewhere else in the house for clothes and swap them out seasonally?
A tangent: Please consider writing a post about what you do with all the stuff friends and extended family buy for you and your kids that clash with your aesthetic. I know you’re hiding primary-colored plastic toys somewhere in that gorgeous house. 😆
Just perfect. And so smart how you’ve introduced and repeated pops of earthy green and dark blue. Brilliant blending of patterns and colors. This so, so good.
I love the bedding! I get she was able to make choices for the room and that is a beautiful thing. I think the rest of the room direction is a bit moody and mature, which mutes the fun, youthful vibe.
