From a Little Girl Room To A Big Girl Room: Bedroom Makeover How To

In today’s blog post I’m talking all about my daughter’s bedroom transition from a little girl room to a big girl room.

Makeover From Little Girl Room To Big Girl Room

 
My daughter’s room makeover from little girl room to big girl room is finally done!

Excited to share her new room with you here today. 

 
Back in March I posted the “befores”, the sweet little girls room I lovingly put together for my baby girl on her second birthday.
 
As you can see, we never did the whole toddler bed transition but went straight to a new bed for her, in the form of a large full-sized bed. 
 
This big change is not as crazy as it sounds, we did use side bumpers for the first few months on her big bed, and now she has a bed which will last her into her high school years!
 
We did consider going with the popular Pottery Barn bunk beds but eventually decided it was not a good idea for her room because we weren’t sure we had enough space. 
 
This type of big kid bed made the most sense for our family, as it’s a great way to get the most mileage out of kids rooms.
 
A larger mattress might be the best way to go, especially if you might need the room to do double duty as guest room.
 
We did the same thing for our other two kid’s room and it all worked out fine!
 
My son did get a twin bed first, but we switched him to a bigger bed with a hidden trundle bed, when we moved to our new house a couple of years ago.
 
 
 
Now that my daughter is almost twelve, this new grown up version seems much more appropriate, despite the fact that seeing her old room here (below) still gets me emotional!
