Annabeth's Room Makeover

 We've just wrapped up a multi-week project of redoing Annabeth's room in anticipation of her 12th birthday. 

Before each of the kids were born, we chose nursery colors/decor for them and then redid their rooms again around age 5-6. We decided 12 would be the next good age to update everything. Annabeth wanted to switch her room from a light purple with butterfly/flower accents to a Harry Potter room. 

In all of the clean-outs we did to get ready for painting day, I failed to get before pictures. But here's the after...

First hour with nearly everything in the room.

She chose the minty green wall color after staying at 

Port Orleans - Riverside last year and loving the colors there

Wizards' Spell Wallplate

We moved her princess castle growth chart - made by Grandpa Kuhn and Aunt Abby 

and her purse rack - also by Grandpa Kuhn to behind the door. 

She added her Princess Tiana print there as well. It's a great watercolor print from Jane

She and I switched desks and added these white frames above.

She painted the tea set herself and the little Harry Potter figures are from her friend Sophia.

The Luna Lovegood print is AMAZING - Luna is rollerblading on a rainbow - by Casey Robin Art

She selected the top two Hermione prints from Etsy.

The seller of the Yule Ball print also included the beautiful invitation so we printed all three.

Last spring, Annabeth and my mom chose this comforter from Pottery Barn Teen.

We all loved that it was subtly Harry Potter and that it should last many years.

The pillow was custom made by Mark - Marked by Riley

We saw this idea for Dobby House Elf curtain holders on Pinterest.

I knew our friend Susie could make them and she did!

Annabeth had a lot of fun putting everything todather. Thanks to Mama and Dad for the comforter and curtains and kid wrangling. Thank you to Mark for his painting and craft skills. I left links above as most of what we purchased was from small shops and we encourage you to shop small as well!
