I am finally finished sewing for Lily’s room.
Hooray!
Bunny is very old. Lovingly handmade perhaps a hundred years ago and dressed in antique calico grain sack fabric.
I have loads of vintage fabrics I have collected at various flea markets over the years and I’m on a mission to use my fabrics and finally enjoy them!
These pillowcases were so simple to make but I have misplaced the directions I wrote for how to make them.
Perhaps I’ll write a tutorial when I find my little sketchbook….
I have a nice little sketch book to write all of my ideas in but somehow I am always losing it.
The quilt on lily’s bed is an old piece I bought at a flea market in a small French town called Isle Sur La Sorgue. I bought it when she was one, thinking I might someday use it on her bed. I have always loved it and it’s perfect on the old wood bed, which I recently painted a cheery pink.
It had been previously painted white with a “Shabby Chic” finish, but over the years it had become more shabby than chic, with marker drawings and all sorts of nonsense scribbled on it.
I was tempted to leave it as a memory, like the wall I have in my kitchen with all of the kids heights marked on it.
But the urge to paint something pink was stronger.
A quick reminder that my ShotRockers online digital photography class giveaway is still going on. Stop by here to enter!
When in doubt, painting pink is always a good choice.
Very true!
Oh how sweet and girly 🙂 I bet your little girl loves her room 🙂

The whole effect is very pretty, and it is cottage-y without being frumpy. I love the bed, and your pillows came out beautifully. I’d like to see your tutorial. I plan on upgrading my little one to a big girl bed soon and am looking for decor ideas.
I love, love, LOVE those pillowcases. If I tried mixing prints like that it would come out looking like a circus tent!
I love the mix of prints. Great choices!
very pretty, I understand the urge to paint something a pretty color. I’m sure she loves it.
Those pillow cases are GREAT! I think I’ll try this, maybe add a little hand embroidery since I’m loving that again. Pinning the cases.
I am dying here. That room is so cute!!! I love the vintage quilt, I love the pink bed, I love the colorful pillows and letters. My daughter would adore this room!!! Thank you so much for inspiring me! ~Angela~
