Favorite Room Feature: Little Black Door

Today's special guest is not a new blog to me, actually I have known about little black door for a really long time. You know it is hard to keep up with all of the blogs that you adore. Thanks to the One Room Challenge, I was reacquainted with Elizabeth and her incredible talents. I have been back to her blog a slew of times going through each and every space she has designed. Yes. She has all of them up there. Score. She is easily my current fave in the blog world after seeing the space she designed for her daughter's. Totally amazing. Just wait and see.

Hey everybody! It's Elizabeth from little black door and I'm excited to be here and chat with y'all about my daughters' bedroom.  Sadie + Stella is part of my morning routine, usually right after breakfast but before my second glass of tea, so of course I was over the moon when Lindsay asked me to participate in such a fab series. I just may have raised the roof when I read the email. I live in a small cottage with my hubs and two little girls (5 1/2 and 2) and we like to pack a lot of fun into our little space. So when it came time to redo the bedroom my girls' share for the One Room Challenge, I knew I wanted it to be like them, bright and fun with a good dose of silly.

Pink of course was a top request, but my little clients also wanted blue and green. Swear. A yellow rug was in my head from the beginning, who knows why, and I've been thrilled to find the right one at Pottery Barn. Dhurrie rugs are an excellent choice for rooms with little ones. The dresser was an estate sale find that servered as a changing table for many years until I gave it a new coat of paint and some new hardware. The silhouettes were a really simple DIY project that I had wanted to try for years.

I mixed up the bedding using the colors in the lamp shade fabric as my inspiration. My oldest picked out the fabric, Portobello Vase (Blossom colorway) , and I think it is the perfect representation of the room - classic pattern, youthful colors. The seersucker bolsters were given some navy grosgrain to tie in the monogram and the dresser.

Most of our toys stay downstairs in the playroom so we keep the books upstairs for bedtime reading. My youngest is a huge fan of elephants (she's so on trend) and I love to find little elephant items to add to her collection. Both the blue and white elephant lamp and the elephant planter were antique store finds.

I love the pink ceiling against all the white. And of course the deer head. What little girl's room is complete without a deer head?

The mini vanity is a heavily used piece and the location of many fights. (it's hard to share a space when all you want to do is stare at yourself in the mirror) I added the navy trim and gold knobs to tie it into the navy in the dresser and drum shade. It all comes back to navy. And elephants.

So that is my little piece of little girl design. It's been finished for a whole week now and I'm already itching to get started on another room! It's a sickness people. Thanks again for having me Lindsay! xo
