The bottom three-fourths of the wall is painted a sage green and the remaining wall is painted a striped cream and seascape blue. Dainty flowers are stamped randomly on the stripes and accented with hand-painting.
The bed frame is painted white and the headboard is accented with an upholstered insert. Foam, fabric and trim are stapled into a center insert for a one-of-a-kind design. A checked fabric is stitched into a bed skirt and duvet is created out of a floral print, coral and cream pinstripe and more of the bedskirt material. A $19 bed sheet is used for the underside of the duvet.
Twin side tables, which were actually the sides from a dressing table, are painted white and lightly distressed. A $10 dresser is also updated with white paint.
The window treatment hangs from the wall from a tree-branch window rod.

Crawford drips yellow acrylic paint inside two crystal lamp bases to coordinate with the rest of the room. The self-adhesive lampshade is decorated with fabric, ribbon and silk roses.

A simple hat rack is embellished with silk roses.

Atop the dresser is a wooden angel plaque and on either side is floral artwork made out of vintage glass doors and silk hydrangea blossoms.

A small step stool is created out of tree branches and an upholstered top.
