Pink, lavender, lemon... Crayola paints do a fab glitter glaze that you put over the top of the wall colour and also a clear glaze with little gold or silver sequin stars in it. I like the mosquito net from Ikea and Ikea also have lovely voile curtains with net butterfies sewn onto it. I only have boys though. Sigh.

I did DS1s bedroom last year and 2 walls are a deep blue and 2 the same deep blue added to white paint to create a lighter colour which I knew would go with the deep blue! I couldn't find one ready made that I was sure would look right. It looks good with the walls painted all one colour rather than split at dado height. The chimney breast is deep blue with the glitter glaze ofer it!

If you look around, you'll find one thing (fabric, accessory, whatever) that you love and you'll think "That's it!". It was the Crayola paint range that did it for me with DS1s room and it all came together from there.

my daughters is lavender walls with pink gingham roman blind and curtains (all made by my fair hands) stripped floorboards. Old chest of drawers in distressed pink/white wash. Pine bookcase and drawers, loads of teddies and pink and lavender fairy 'fairy' lights, oh and some pink gingham hearts (old fashioned style) Duvet and trowover in lavender/pink

Laura Ashley do some lovely ones - there bed linene is a bit of a rip off theough - well not that its bad quality just expensive compared to the other stuff on the market.

We're just doing the same for my dd. She's moving into the big spare room so that her room can become the nursery.
We're painting the bottom half of the wall (below dado rail) in a really girlie bright pink and the top half in pale yellow.
John Lewis have some quite nice kids bedroom accessories at the moment - I got her a pink bedside light with hearts on - and the great little trading company have got fab beanbag chairs, fairy wall stickers etc here

My girls have a fab girly bedroom, like others has suggested the Laura Ashley Fun fairy fabric was the start of the scheme. I got bedlinen and fabric. We then painted the walls really pale pink, once dreied with a small 'mini' roller we painted vertical stripes on the wall in a lovely raspberry mid pink. These were freehand and slightly rough around the edges so it looks like fabric. We didn't worry about cutting in top and bottom, it was meant to be a slightly 'shabby chic' look It looks like the interior of a circus tent!

With the curtains of the funky fairies lined in hot pink (I had to dye plain fabic as you cannot get pink linings), a lampshade covered in the same fabric and those plastic heart light from Ikea it is really girly. It is finished off with some funny framed animal prints, a zebra fake fur fabric floor cushion and two mini extendable Ikea pine beds. I also got cheap duvet covers from Harveys and ASDA as the Laura ahsley ones were £40 a set.

It does look really cute, although I would change the carpet from brown if I had the time/money!!
