Peyton's Soothing Charmer My Room

Name: Peyton (4)
Location: Odenville, AL

When we moved Peyton into her own room, I wanted her new space to feel bright and happy. I wanted her furniture to be fun and girly, but also versatile enough to continue to work in her room as she grows and gets older.

I painted the walls Benjamin Moore's "Irish Mist", a very light (almost white) gray. The room is filled with a mixture of antique finds and things I've made or transformed in some way .I found the dresser and vanity on Craigslist and then gave them both a new look by painting them with Benjamin Moore's "Whispering Spring" and then distressing them. Her room is probably one of my favorite places in the house.

Thanks Jaime! Readers, see more of Peyton's lovely room on Jaime's blog, Caught in Grace.

Oh my what a gorgeous dresser and vanity!! I'm dying over their cuteness!!!

Oh I absolutely LOVE this room! Love the colors you chose...dresser, vanity, everything! One of my favorite rooms I've seen in a long time :)

Absolutely lovely!

This is so bright, and pretty, and girly. I absolutely love it.

Where did you get the bed? I love the wall color--does it look gray in person or more white? I'm trying to find a nice neutral color for my daughters' new room but after years (and years) or renting, I don't want white!

Nice!!

So pretty! If I were a girly girl, I´d love this space even more :)

Thank you everyone for all the kind comments. Nellymom, I got the bed from a local antique shop. I've seen very similar beds many times at thrift stores and other antique stores. Most of the time, they are dark wood and could just be painted. I think the color of the room comes across as mostly white, so it might not have enough gray in it for what you're wanting.

Utterly charming!

I have been looking for vintage furniture such as the vanity and chest of drawers for years, but have not come across any as nice as these.

(My 8 year old daughter just saw the pictures and said exclaimed that she loved the room!)

this room is amazing! I really love the butterflies over the mirror.

Such a sweet girl's room! So pretty.
