I know a lot of you have seen Christina’s twin girls’ GORGEOUS room, but I love it too, and had to post about it. PLUS, Christina and I are actually like second cousins or something (and we’ve never met before – I love blogging.) I played the “We’re family – give me the detes on the room” card, because I know you’re all as anxious as I was to hear all the what’s and where’s with this adorable space.
Turns out Christina pulled together this room for less than $250. And it happened my favorite way – with lots of DIY and a healthy dose of bargain and thrift shopping.
Christina searched through her Benjamin Moore decks for the perfect pink wall color but ended up using Coy Pink from Behr. Such a pretty color!
The duvet covers were made with two flat sheets from Wal-Mart and vintage trim was sewed onto the tops of the covers.
The wallpaper-esque panels behind the beds are actually pieces of big cardboard that were modge podged with scrapbook paper. Then Christina had MDF trim from Home Depot cut to fit around the cardboard panels.
vintage initials – $2
Big thanks to Christina for sharing her sources! It’s clear that trolling Craigslist and eBay and shopping at thrift stores pays off in a big way. Those are some lucky girls who get to sleep in such a stylish room – and who have such a talented mom!
These are two lucky girls! Beautiful bedroom – it's perfect and I can't believe she decorated it for less than $250! Unreal!
Christina is my big big big mum crush
Big LOVE
That is an absolutely amazing showcase of talent and vision…love that room!
I had only seen a peak of this room. Lovely room, lucky girls and I love that her daughters share a room. Posts about kids sharing rooms rock my world right now. (Little space with two daughters).
Cannot believe that is scrapbook paper! Amazing.
For anyone who really likes the brass letters pictured on the shelf…its a William & Mary trivet! I got one as a gift when I graduated from there last year.

Lucky girls!
Lucky lucky little girls! I love the Lucite chair, perfect for every changing kids rooms!
I have been admiring Christina's little girls' room for quite sometime. So glad she gave you the scoop to share!
How fun that you are related!
I blogged about that amazing room last week. I was so in love with it. It's my perfect fix for a room.
Yes it does take more time to finish a room, because you are gradually finding things, but I love doing things that way in my own home.
I'm already excited to see what she comes up with in her boys room!
And to think she managed to pull all that together with a set of twins and set of triplets running about! She is a supermom. I love how much care, effort, and detail she put into the room.
Impressive! I want one of those mirrors for my daughter's room so bad, but my HomeGoods hasn't had good mirrors in such a long time. Boo hoo!
wow, this room is amazing and she kept to such a great budget! i love these projects the best…they really tell a story! i really need to visit craigslist more often, really!
Oh my–what an incredible use of practually no $$ and unbelievable ingenuity. I am deeply inspired (to do my boys room!). Thanks for a wonderful post.
this room is amazing! its giving me an itch to redecorate my girls room! thank you for sharing!
I love that room! So inspiring. What creativity! Creativity must run in your family!
Wow, those are two lucky girls! The room is lovely and I particularly adore the desk chair, it adds a bit of modern glam.
Seriously amazing! I was blown away when I first saw it.
I can't believe she got that lucite chair and wicker chair on Craigslist! What lucky finds!
This is amazing! I can't believe you pulled it off with that budget! I just love it!
Arlene's latest blog I love benches and I cannot lie
Wow I am speechless…this room is beautiful but more impressive is the cost for it all!! A woman after my own heart!!! Thanks for sharing!!
AMAZING makeover!
Wow! Pink and frilly, those girls will be in heaven!
Great room and great thrifting!!!! Thanks for the peak!
Amazing, I love it!
Thank you so much for every single nice comment.
And thank you to one Jenny girl that has one of the best blogs with such great style. So cool that you wanted to blog about the girls room.

OMG! Seriously, OMG! This is amazing!
My, talent must run in your family! I love all the ideas in this room. Especially the scrap book paper on cardboard. Inspired and easy!
I received a W&M trivet as a wedding gift–love it!
I bookmarked this entry to show my 9 y.o. daughter–we've just moved into a new house and she has a pretty fantastic bedroom that's begging for a new paint color (Ben Moore's Heaven on Earth) and linens. She's going to love thinking about the details in this fantastic bedroom and exactly how she'd like to apply certain things to her own room. I have the feeling it's going to involve some sewing machine time for me.
Hey Love,
Just wanted to tell you that I have recourse for the flower mirror for around $200.
I'm pretty sure it's the exact one that I've seen retailed between $500-$700.
I am absolutely head over heels for this room! Regarding the mirror, my thought is to keep checking the Homegoods clearance section and be flexible. You may not find an exact match, but ANYTHING can be painted. I'm going to use yellow/white fabric for the background and then paint a mirror robin's egg blue. This room is such an inspiration!
So awesome! Had seen the room, but loved hearing the details. My kid's Penguins of Madagascar taped up poster is feeling super-lame right now! Actually it was before, too.

It's beautiful and seems attainable when you break it all down for us. So often magazines version of "affordable" really isn't for our family. This is. Pretty and affordable, I like that very much.
Cette chambre est vraiment superbe si romantique et moderne à la fois avec la chaise en plexis.

I just found a similar mirror (for less than $500!) that I thought I'd share with you! http://www.pbteen.com/products/bold-bloom-mirror/?pkey=cphoto-frames-mirrors
This room is beautiful, I found similar flower shaped mirrors today at Target for $49.99 today, they were in silver tough but with a little spray paint they just might work.
Omigosh! This just so gorgeous! and under an amazing budget too! so surreal! LOVE LOVE LOVE the mirror and the lucite chair! thanks for sharing!!
