BALLERINA BEDDING for GIRLS

I can breathe a sigh of relief that I found this set of ballerina bedding for girls that is anything but wimpy. To give you a little background on that remark (and to let you know why I haven't been forthcoming with any new bedding sets and bedroom decorating ideas lately), a lady across town was building a fabulous home that a friend of mine was contracted to decorate from top to bottom. After much begging, she actually let me go with her one day when she was taking some measurements on the window sizes and the owner and I were introduced.

Long story short, my friend caught the flu and needed me to take the job and finish it which thrilled me to no end because the owner seemed sweet and the home was to die for...and then I met the teen diva in residence. This teenage girl was amazingly certain about what colors she wanted in her room AND that she wanted ballerina bedding for girls that WAS NOT wimpy! How a young girl could be so opinionated at such a young age about bedding was almost scary. But EUREKA!!! I found this set and if (and that's a pretty darn big if) she approves it my work is done.

One trend I see in bedroom decorating ideas is that teen girls bedding in pastels is falling behind bright colors. Wait to see if this holds true through summer before you make plans to follow this fashion trend.

TAYLOR SWIFT BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS

GO HERE FOR MORE!

I have had to dream up a few rockstar bedroom decorating ideas for teenage girls in my day, but Taylor Swift bedroom decorating projects are unprecedented, at least until today. Usually tween and teen girls' demands for rock and roll bedding are met with bed in a bag sets with their favorite band's pictures on the comforter, framed wall posters and maybe some wallpaper border if the band is popular enough to have expanded its product line to include home decorations. But when my alarm clock went off this morning I had no clue that I was about to take rock and roll bedrooms to a whole new level. And surprisingly the bedroom's style had nothing to do with guitars or anything musical. The story of my introduction to Taylor Swift bedroom decor follows.

This morning I got a phone call from a desperate mother who begged for a consultation because she needed me to suggest decorations for a dorm room for her daughter. She had planned to do the job herself but had to leave town on business so she called me. I hesitated because this was going to put me in a bit of a scheduling bind and as I mentioned earlier, when I run behind schedule for one reason or another people tend to get angry and forget that they begged me to squeeze them in.

The lady on the phone could hear my reluctance and assured me that decorating her teenage girl’s bedroom would be the easiest job I ever took because her decorating ideas were taken directly from the Taylor Swift bedroom in her video "You Belong With Me". She said that her daughter wanted an exact copy of the bedding, the window treatments and the paint color. I remembered seeing a picture of Taylor Swift’s bedroom a few years back that had a bohemian look to it and I do so love to decorate bedrooms in a bohemian style so I finally told this frantic mom that I would take the job.

So, I headed over to watch the video on Youtube to see what decorative items I would need to decorate a bedroom Taylor Swift style and I quickly saw that this bedroom would be anything BUT Boho! The bedroom’s walls are painted lime green, with purple curtains and the bed and furniture were white wood. I’m not sure where they got the patchwork quilt on the bed but it was made from a combination of fabrics in non-descript colors and layered over striped tone on tone cream colored sheets. I suppose that the character that Taylor Swift was playing in the video was plain and frumpy (in the beginning at least) so the set designer decorated the bedroom to follow suit.

I looked on Pottery Barn Teens to see if I could find the exact quilt with no luck. However, I did find two or more that would work so much better with the lime green and purple that I hope that my client and her daughter will approve. One is the Graphic Pop quilt that is even pictured with a green wall similar to the one behind Taylor Swift in the video and the other one that I might present as a possibility has a tropical print. If she’s a stickler for the EXACT quilt that very well may present a problem so if you know the brand of the quilt, please return to this post where I am pondering Teenage Girls Taylor Swift Bedroom Decorating Ideas and let me know where to find it!

FAIRY BALLERINA VALANCES and CURTAIN LIGHTS

GO HERE FOR MORE



Odds are that when you found your teenage girl’s fairy ballerina bedding or comforter set a fairy ballerina valance came with the set or at the least was offered as part of the collection. It would be difficult to compete with the price or the perfect fabric match of the inexpensive curtains that come in a bed in a bag set but modern teens are beginning to raise their eyebrows a bit at the idea of perfectly matched bedroom decorations.

To keep from blowing mom’s bedroom decorating budget and to give her daughter come creative control over her fairy ballerina bedroom ideas, I searched for some cheap decorative accessories to personalize the room’s décor and came up with the idea of dressing up those fairy curtains that my last client adored all for the low, low price of less than $1.00. Actually the fairy curtain lights that I bought cost .99 plus shipping, but you have to admit that the mention of bedroom decorations to dress up your fairy ballerina valance for under a dollar really caught your attention, didn’t it?

Fairy lights are traditional decorations for weddings and outdoor parties where patio lights help with safety issues as well as to serve as part of the decorations. They come in all colors, lengths and styles which is a good thing as the color of your fairy ballerina valance is far less flexible. Once you have the curtains and the rod mounted on the bedroom wall, simply instruct your daughter to drape the string of fairy curtain lights however she chooses so long as her design doesn’t present a safety or fire hazard. Some patio lights might get hot enough to scorch the drapery fabric so that should be a consideration when you are doing your shopping.

It’s not often that we find girl's ballerina fairy bedroom decorating ideas for less than a dollar, so what are you waiting for?
