Reader Project: Bright & Fun Girl's Bedroom

As many of you know, I'm taking some time off from blogging and working to spend time with my new baby boy. Last month I asked my readers to submit their own personal home tours, DIY projects, etc. and the response was amazing! Today I'm sharing a young girls bedroom, designed by Mary Olvera. In her own words, here's how Mary pulled this adorable design together...

I'm a HUGE fan of your blog and have been following it for several years now. I'm an interior designer in Lodi, California and have recently finished a room in my own home that I absolutely adore - my 11 year old step daughters bedroom. It was one giant DIY project and completed on a tight budget. I painted all the hand-me-down wood furniture glossy white and replaced the hardware, I made an upholstered headboard for the bed, a nailhead trim inspiration board over the dresser and sewed a couple of custom pillows. I purchased a Bertoia look-a-like chair for the desk from Home Decorators and the sunburst mirror came from Home Goods. The rug and curtain panels are from IKEA and the floating shelves are from Ross. I love the way the room turned out - it's fun and colorful and perfect for a spunky 11 year old girl! ~ Mary 

Thanks for sharing Mary! Stay tuned for more exciting reader projects :)
