I love the paint treatment on the walls, especially the use of a deep color which people seem to shy away from. And the nightstands look great too – very sleek.

The combination of the wall treatment and the view give it a nice tree house effect. So cute.

Ah so lovely, its like a fairytale (Snow White or Red Riding Hood spring to mind!) Is the dog still allowed in?

Like the new look: cozy and warm.
One question ( and I guess not only from me) Where this dog is gone?

Way to dress up the room without making it look stodgy! Lovely:)
(I wonder where she put all her stuff? I’m a packrat and am always in need of storage/organization solutions!!)

What did Georganne do with that adorable little roll top cabinet? I would love to see it repurposed to match her room.

Omg, very cute and I love the colors. Most times when I see red, white, and blue the American flag is left searing in my eyeballs, but this feels very fresh! :)

Is it me, or does the window actually seem bigger?

This is really cute. An idea for renters who can’t execute such a paint job: Wall decals.

The trees are great. Did the dog get a makeover too? A bit of lipstick would be cute.

Oh, I love it! My son’s room is painted with blue already with similarly sloped ceilings. I am so very, very close to stealing this idea.

Wonderful and whimsical and just lovely! Great job.

thanks for the sweet comments! the wall color is Heron made by Behr. The wall decals I ordered from LeentheGraphicsQueen on etsy. The roll-top cabinet is actually a jewelry box. still there but for now it lives in the closet. and the dog, he’s still around. ;)

It’s like right out of a story book! I love it!

I love the idea! I think it would also be great for a child’s room. I do wonder if I’d get tired of it after a while, though.

Incredible make-over ! Love the deep color and the simple playfulness. It makes me smile, but in a absolute non-cheesy way. I may steal some ideas…

I was about to ask for the source of the decals; I’ll check it on Etsy right away.

Aw, the cute dog shouldn’t be excluded after the makeover. He would make the room complete!

September 25th, 2009 - 6:22 am

Love the wall, the room looks really unique!

September 25th, 2009 - 6:36 am

such fun. this is just the inspiration i needed as i am fixing up the girls/boy rooms. our children named after trees – so this might lead me to create a bed of leaves.

I would love to know color of the paint on the walls and if she painted the birch trees free hand?

October 5th, 2009 - 9:26 am

Georganne, this looks awesome! I love it. I need to start some projects like this myself, so this is great inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
