Two duvets, two down comforters within - two layers of softness - awwwwww. Double layers of $$$ - hmmmm.   You can still get a lovely and luxurious look with a white duvet over a gray matelasse coverlet if your budget won't allow two down comforters and duvets. I live in So. California, and would never ever need two down comforters - so it would be strictly for the look here.  I would maybe use a down blanket instead of a down comforter for the duvet inserts. They are not as warm and not as thick.  You can also get down alternatives for those who suffer from allergies.  Try to adapt the bedding to your own climate, but use at least one comforter in a duvet for the soft inviting look this room calls for...</span></pre><br /><pre style="background-color: white;

BEAUTIFUL BEDROOM DIY - (PART 1)

HOME DECOR: CHILDS PLAY

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love creating rooms for young people</span>. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Children have boundless imaginations and interviewing them for a room redesign is a lesson in possibilities. Whether tweens, teens or preschoolers, they have no fear of color and they know exactly what they love. Nine year old Hailey wanted purple, hot pink, butterflies and fairies. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, and her other favorite - turquoise. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Her mother was a little worried about that combination. </div><div style="text-align: center;">She feared that Hailey would grow out of a theme room and </div><div style="text-align: center;">wanted something that would grow up with her daughter. <img alt="" border="0" height="423" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338238356755337122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmhf7z7NHinsVey4SNXtLqlbnwv3wTPDTLrhg1YwJYeZ9TRMhachfIkxYfT9l51Q6K16iKTUar-RxJDFHwo3zFeFEtTNzWROugZb8Ec69PxufzUPNxKm-2JDCMCqJVeQNlcXE8daLcDJw/s640/Davis+-+Haileys+Room.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /> Here is Hailey's new room. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Fit for a beautiful princess, it is sophisticated enough to grow with her with minmal changes, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and has all the elements she wanted in a room of her own. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We started with the walls. A soft lavender with a touch of grey. </div><div style="text-align: center;">More subdued than Hailey first wanted. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I convinced her to 'wait and see' on the wall color. </div><div style="text-align: center;">If she didn't like the finished product, walls were easy to paint over. </div><div style="text-align: center;">What I wanted was a wall that complimented the room and didn't overpower it. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338198538944801810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzZTj7V2rDhiG_KE5oQ5HCCjo5pq5cZnlFMXP801i_C1DTTU5RDjAFv0b6MZuMlhngVzouUtZ69ix2X0gr15cppKGWTYyk8Sp6HjlkhtrMU_g2Y-ChLOwG1CFbpZPXYsictNDrSOu2riU/s320/lavender+walls.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 228px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 217px;" />Next came the fabrics.

A scalloped bottom added a feminine touch and the puffy posies - a fun little project I did myself - added a touch of whimsy and youth. (They are removable for when she is a little older down the road). </div><div style="text-align: center;">The room had a large window in an alcove that was a natural spot to create a window seat.

Next to the curtain is a pompom pouf - one of Haileys favorite things in her room. Hot pink pompoms in varying sizes were glued to the lid of this soft pink ottoman, creating a very girlish and very soft seat. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXN8fvm7_L-2-a1uGBLTpcMJmT4uZOo528xiQil3Y0ZMn_HsXiH0UlCig6wR99DXffUZPeTO-F7D4mvMFxlYILygLi7j3sCZ7NTOaZ9R4B-4QmFH3trQDJ9SIBUQF0g8khlq499LAcneU/s1600-h/Davis+-+Haileys+room+-+window+seat.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="424" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338197335749085762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXN8fvm7_L-2-a1uGBLTpcMJmT4uZOo528xiQil3Y0ZMn_HsXiH0UlCig6wR99DXffUZPeTO-F7D4mvMFxlYILygLi7j3sCZ7NTOaZ9R4B-4QmFH3trQDJ9SIBUQF0g8khlq499LAcneU/s640/Davis+-+Haileys+room+-+window+seat.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></a> Here is the finished window seat.

Adjacent to the room, a private bathroom gets the same valance treatment and a shower curtain in the same fabrics as the bedroom. Above the doorway is a series of photos we had taken of Hailey at Blue Moon studio in Laguna Niguel. The studio provided wings, dress and floral wreath for her head, transforming her into a fairy. The photos were magical! Not only does she have a room fit for a fairy princess, she IS the fairy princess. Each time she looks at these photographs she will see how beautiful she really is. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWxAkJ6PJeu4Dugm6b6qB9ir8HYUfKHt1GfQ97lSon4jMuLmas71mqQo-uhRS4DUsvXWjEyTGvxfW_LzuSk-yegwpbi_wZwbsRvtxRzOgOmcEQZ4PgF41G7CwiqBPpk2GDtBnYgSn9fg/s1600-h/fairydoll.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="417" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338197326196798946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWxAkJ6PJeu4Dugm6b6qB9ir8HYUfKHt1GfQ97lSon4jMuLmas71mqQo-uhRS4DUsvXWjEyTGvxfW_LzuSk-yegwpbi_wZwbsRvtxRzOgOmcEQZ4PgF41G7CwiqBPpk2GDtBnYgSn9fg/s640/fairydoll.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></a> Here is a close-up detail of the window seat pillows and a fairy doll I created from a pattern.

We removed the twin size bed from the room and brought in a queen sized mattress and box spring, elevated with risers to allow for possible storage underneath. We turned the bed sideways because of space concerns and so that the bed didn't completely block the beautiful new window seat. I created and upholstered the headboard, in deep purple corduroy. The darker color adds a little drama, a little sophistication and a little depth to the room. We added a plush chenile shaggy area rug in the same color at the foot of the bed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7V2boYw-1Fx2N_dAprqe3AKwmsF8vHKS0ffISK5G0foig7JqD9DeRuGq-pfvMGpfAqWIYMa-shBioAGj-yywq4M3uqdtCepa8GiOCrJ1C-EfK_1_GV_ylMlTZIFZT8xek2ZcIHJdNMZg/s1600-h/cornice+detail.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="457" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338196144367187362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7V2boYw-1Fx2N_dAprqe3AKwmsF8vHKS0ffISK5G0foig7JqD9DeRuGq-pfvMGpfAqWIYMa-shBioAGj-yywq4M3uqdtCepa8GiOCrJ1C-EfK_1_GV_ylMlTZIFZT8xek2ZcIHJdNMZg/s640/cornice+detail.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></a>The crowning touch of the room is the bed cornice and draperies. My carpenter created the cornice from my drawings and specifications. Painted white and trimmed with decorative molding, it holds the beautiful draperies and valance that frames the bed.
