I LOVE to design and decorate!! And I recently decided that I wanted to upgrade my skills to those that require power tools! haha... I have a few friends in AZ that can do ANYTHING (...Margo and Michelle...) So, thinking of them inspired me to step it up and do it myself... Samantha's room was my first target. She has been begging for a pink room for months. :0)
I started with the texture on the walls because they were literally one huge patch job! I tried my hand at texturing...my version of holy-smooth (spelling?). I was really really happy with the way it turned out! It's hard to see in a picture, but maybe if you enlarge the picture you can tell... I'm actually going to start texturing the basement myself because I like it so much.
The beadboard trim wasn't horrible to do...it is just definitely a 2 person job. Holding anything that large over head and secure to the wall...really cool shoulder workout! So, I'm thinkin that Kaitlyn will get something 
on the lower half of the walls instead. haha
on the lower half of the walls instead. hahaSo far, the only bit of decorating that we've got done is her letters. I bought them white and then painted them all to match her bedding. I thought it would be cute to hang them from a white rod with a ribbon, but it makes the letters go all wonky and I didn't paint the back...hmmm....
Any suggestions??
Sam's furniture was a fun suprise...I found her dresser, mirror and bookshelf on ksl for just $90 plus a paint job. We actually made her headboard!! I know, right? It was really fun to make!
Anyway, I had a great time!! I still need to do some more decorating, window treatments, and have her little chair reapolstered. But, I'm really happy with how it's turned out so far! :0)
And...most importantly...Sam LOVES her new room! :0)
Thanks so much Sean, Dad, James and Mike for helping me out throughout the project!!
And thanks everyone else for indulging my little show and tell. hahahahaha...
Side note: I'm actually making a few more headboards for a few people as a result...so, if anyone is interested:
Twin: $60 and Full: $80.
Happy Decorating!!

THANK YOU for posting the pics! It looks even awesomer in the daytime. I'm not a great decorator. I get paralized by all the choices. Oh well . . . maybe someday:-)
OMGoodness! the room is ADORABLE. really, it looks awesome! you did SUCH a good job! you need to go into this as a profession, it looks great. the bead board on the walls, the texture, the colors, the furniture, her name! it's all so perfect! i can't wait to see it!
Thanks JO!!!! I would love to do this professionally!! I think I can...and a decorator. You don't need a degree for that. So, let me know if anyone wants my help for hire. :0)
That is so stinkin' cute. I love it! You are so talented. I might have to make you do mine...if I ever have girls. Jeff already did Benson's room in Florida Gators. Fun stuff.
Wow! It looks darling! You did a great job!
SO CUTE! And I wouldn't worry about the wonky letters. It just adds to the cuteness!
I can't wait for Jentry's bed! Wahoo!!! Ha ha
I love it, it is so adorable! Good job!
THAT is AMAZING!!!! I love it! you are so creative! I wish I was that cool! Can I hire you? Are you willing to travel?
ADORABLE! Every piece of it~
Wow, SO stink'in cute! I had that same problem when I hung some frames on a rod with ribbon. I just had to tie them a certain way so they would hang straight. I'd be happy to show you when I see you next. It's too hard to explain in words... I think her name looks adorable how it is, anyway!
Her room is very cute. Very girly. I love it. You are sooo creative.
WAY CUTE!!! I'm way impressed!!! I told Larry about the headboards. I might have to try that.....good Job!!! You are so talented.
Martha Steweart I demand that you return Rachelle immediatly. This is awesome. You really could make money doing this. I can't believe you even textured. DO you know how to upholster? I want to learn if you do.
Awesome work. I love it
Kuddos to you Rachelle! That room is adorable. You are past creative! Thanks for letting us see the pics.
Oooooo.....learning to upholster. Good idea Megan! Let's figure that out!!
AMAZING!!! You did such a good job. I love it, it makes me want to decorate a room for Ava. I might have to get some pointers from you.
ABSOLUTELY DARLING!!! You should go pro you are brilliant and talented. I think anyone would love to have your help in decorating you make it feel easy, and like oh of course that WOULD look great. So thanks again for the salon everyone loves it. I still can't believe that you did the texture on the wall...awesome. Plus yes, I want a head board too if it isn't too much trouble. I think that is a great idea to sell them.
so stinking cute!! can you come decorate my house!

I LOVE IT!!! Omigosh!! That is the cutest room ever!! You are so amazing!! I love the letters, and all the colors are so bright and vibrant!! I am just loving it!!

Wow, that is a really cool pink room! I think I will have to learn some things from your painting talent.
