Worked our arses off. Room was a wreck when we start ( as is our whole 'project' house).

Doing 95% of the reno works ourselves, luckily OH is very handy and I love interior design!

DD (8 next week) loves it!

Have to crack on with DS's wreck of a room now..!

Before and after pic attached.

That looks fabulous. You have a good eye. Lucky girl.

Well done!

trebelclef · 15/08/2021 21:51

Wow....that's a dream room for any little girl. Just beautiful.

HerRoyalNotness · 15/08/2021 21:51

That’s really nice. Did you make her duvet cover? I’m hoping you bought it so I can get one

bookworm14 · 15/08/2021 21:53

That is AMAZING. Well done!

Catouttahell · 15/08/2021 21:53

It looks beautiful! Did you sand the floorboards yourself? Were they treated with something? Brilliant job!

NeverSurrender · 15/08/2021 21:53

Wow that's beautiful! Do you want to come do my house?! 😁

Bimblybomeyelash · 15/08/2021 21:54

Gorgeous! What a lucky girl!

purpleme12 · 15/08/2021 21:54

Oh yes I love the rainbow theme
I am also wondering about the duvet cover?
And is the rainbow on the wall a wall sticker?

54321nought · 15/08/2021 21:54

wow - thats so beautiful - please come and do mine!

AnyFucker · 15/08/2021 21:56

That is beautiful

bettyfloormop · 15/08/2021 21:57

Thank you! i am really pleased with it, as a lover of colour I was able to really indulge. Dd loves rainbows and she loves how it turned out.

The fireplace took me about a week to strip back.. about a millions layers of old white gloss paint! Was worth the effort though as it is lovely.

@HerRoyalNotness a lady on Etsy made the bedspread and curtains for me. I wish I was that crafty. If you want her details dm me x

That's really nice Smile

I had a rainbow room as a child and can remember it really clearly, loved it.

Samanabanana · 15/08/2021 21:58

What a beautiful room, well done!

SwedishEdith · 15/08/2021 22:00

Lovely. What colours did you use on the walls?

Whattheschitt · 15/08/2021 22:00

Wow, that's absolutely beautiful. I love it! The colours are amazing.

bettyfloormop · 15/08/2021 22:02

@purpleme12 it's a vinyl decal which I love, but OH and I totally fucked up applying to the wall! You can't see from the pics but it has a load of creases in it.

Dd doesn't seem to have noticed though, and loves it so that's the main thing Smile

I am a frustrated interior designer! Would love to be let loose in anyone's house.. my style can be a bit bright and eclectic though.. a fan of a minimalist interior would not be happy!

What a stunning room, I wish it were mine!

bettyfloormop · 15/08/2021 22:04

@SwedishEdith the colours are Nancy's Blushes and Arsenic by F&B.

DD initially wanted an all pink room, but I persuaded her to break it up with another colour as an all pink room can be a bit much.

I like bright and eclectic 🙂

rottd · 15/08/2021 22:05

Well done!

MajorNeville · 15/08/2021 22:05

That's lovely. My dd who is 15 did her room last year, it went from lovely like that, to white, just white, white everything. She loves it and it has a certain 'class' to it but not as lovely as the colours.

bettyfloormop · 15/08/2021 22:09

@Catouttahell OH did the floor. He used a hand held orbital sander, so it took ages but we have found the big belt sanders can take chunks out of the wood.

Luckily most of the floors we have done so far have all been in good nick, just really, really dirty.

I think OH replaced a couple of the boards with ones from the upstairs hallway (which will be carpeted eventually). He put 2 coats of clear varnish on them and they came up really nicely.
