Strawberry floral and gingham little girl room!

1.25.2025

Four years ago we finished Lucy's nursery in the "pointy room" upstairs. This house has four bedrooms with closets plus this room and the basement, which sounds like a lot but nothing is perfectly laid out for traditional family living (e.g. all bedrooms on the same floor, or kids upstairs and primary suite downstairs)... and this room is only accessible through my bedroom! Won't always work, but for now (she's four and I'm single), it works great.

I've made a few updates over time (like these pegs for hanging clothes instead of a closet), but she slept in the crib until recently. (It was great. She never tried to climb out, either!) But this summer I found a charming vintage (c. 2002) daybed on Facebook and repainted it, and just now I finally found the perfect bedding and accessories. "Big girl" room complete!

Lucy's Big (Little) Girl Bedroom Update

The pointy ceiling and low walls add a lot of drama!

Lucy loves flowers, unicorns, rainbows, etc... standard little girl things, and would have everything pink with decals over the walls if offered... but she also loves strawberries (like, really loves them) so I built the bedding around this adorable Strawberry Fields pattern from Rifle Paper Co. The percale sheet set goes so well with this Company Store gingham duvet set and the Laurel matelasse coverlet.

At the end of the bed is an antique dresser I painted before she was born. Styled with her pink Christmas village house (cause why not) and a fancy pink music box from my childhood we recently dug out of a box from the basement. And we like to snuggle and read books at this end of the bed sometimes, so we have this oversized embroidered strawberry pillow and this Heather Taylor Home blue stripe ruffle one.

You may notice the daybed sticks out from the wall because of the height of the finials and back board... that was a very unfortunate oversight on my tired DIY single mom part. Oh, well.

On the other side of the room are her baby doll cradles. Yes, plural. And she wants more for some of her other dolls. I'm on the hunt when I go antiquing. That floral ruffle slipper chair is from Facebook Marketplace.
