French Girls Room
I’m very excited to share the redo of the French girls room today. I’m not finished, but I’ve already made some big changes. Yes the framed dresses are down, but they will show up again somewhere… I hope you like the changes.
I shared my vision for this room recently, CLICK HERE.
As you can see I love a two color palette. More color is coming, but you get the general idea. I kept the nightstands, lamps, and the linen sheets on the beds. I also kept the benches at the end of each bed and the baskets. I have a linen sheet on each bed that acts like a coverlet.
Below, you can see that the first change was to mount the bed coronas on the wall. 
Next I changed the headboards, changed out the bedding, and hung the curtains. I found the metal headboards charming, but felt they lacked heft that the room needed. I also loved the colorful bedding, but wanted something more subdued. I still have the bedding and may use it somewhere else. I removed the euro pillows. I love those and I hope I can use them elsewhere. They were just overpowering the headboards.
I have several things I still want to do to the room. For example, I hope to slipcover those benches at some point. When I took the beds apart, I decided it was a great time to wash the bed skirts and the bedding. I also had to iron all of the new bedding.
The beds have cotton bed skirts on them, topped by a vintage monogrammed linen sheet. It might not have been very “Frenchy” before, but it’s truly a French girls room now.

The headboards, and bed crowns have been discontinued so I don’t have a source for those. The curtains were provided by SOFT SURROUNDINGS
The bedding is from Restoration Hardware Baby and Child, CLICK HERE. The room is so cozy with the lamps on.
The lamps are old… very old. I’ve replaced the lampshades at least twice.
It’s a very different look than I had before. It’s much more French, which I love.
This post is Molly approved.
Love, Love this look, sooo frenchy, just beautifully Anita!
Thank you Nancy. I appreciate it so much.
Love this look as well! It’s adorable!!!
Absolutely beautiful. LOVE the headboards and the crowns!
Thank you Deb. I’m enjoying the changes.
Ooolala! C’est manufique. This change is so adorable. Perfection.
So glad you like it Maureen.
Lovely!
Thank you!!
Good morning! The room looks so lovely! One question – the night stands – where did you get them? They are probably an antique find but I am hoping not. They are just what I am looking for! Thanks!
Laura, yes you are correct. They are antique, but fairly easy to find where they sell French antiques.
Thank you!
The changes are amazing. Once those benches are recovered, it will be perfect. I love the pink/blush/lavender color (can’t tell exactly from the photos) of the comforters. Very French and very beautiful.
Pat, I guess I would call it a soft blush on the duvets. Thank you!!
The headboards are to die for and I’m loving the new color pallet. Well done.
So glad you like the look. It’s so fun, and I have more to do in here.
This is the best version yet, Anita! So pretty and girly. I love it!
Oooo, la la-I’m not a pink girl, but your newest update has converted me. Well done.
You always win on the lamps
I do love a pretty lamp!
Wow! Now that is French! Love it.
I am loving the new look Anita and imagine your girls are thrilled as well! It is a more grown up look and perfect for spring!
Anita, what a lovely job you have done on the “girls” room. It’s gorgeous! Your daughters will love this — and so will their friends when they come along with them!
You always do such a great job of decorating!
Blessings!
Oh Anita!!!!!!!!! I’m so in love!!!!!!!! Just beautiful!!!!! Such a soft and peaceful setting!!!!! ??? Roxann
Anita. This room is stunning. I would say this bedroom should be in one of your magazine articles…when I saw it I gasped. This is perfect now..watched all the blogs where you have tried to get it perfect. I do believe you are there..God Bless.
Your girls’ room is lovely and very inviting. Glad to hear Molly is on the mend.
Thanks Kathy. She has been very pampered this week!!
Cute as the splashy floral bedding was, I really like the new simpler pink duvets. The nightstands with the lamps make the room look so much more comfortable and useable.
Thanks Marcy. My daughter loved the splashy duvets although they weren’t exactly my style. Evie says she loves the new look, so everyone seems happy.
I can just picture three girls giggling in the night! It’s a beautiful room.
Thanks Jennifer! My daughters love the new look.
Beautiful, I loved the room before but this is striking. I am new to your blog so wondered if this room is slept in daily or more for show? And do you only use a sheet and then pull up the duvet? Just curious.
Great job!
Hi Vicki, Thank you!!! It is at our farm, so it’s not used every day, but when we are at the farm, it is definitely used. The duvet not going to be used very often because we’re in South Texas, although I’m not opposed to the girls using them.
Wonderful new look here, Anita. You’ve put me into my “Spring change out” mood. Hope I have as much fun with it as you did 🙂
Ooo La la! So pretty! So delicate and very french! Love this!!!!
Very nice! Fit for princesses!
Beautiful room, those lucky girls! The headboards and bedding r French to die for….and those lamps…..
I hope your sweet Molly gets better every day and has a long healthy happy life. She is truly beautiful?
She’s almost back to normal Tricia. Thank you.
Great to hear!
I love the changes! My girls would love a room like this. I actually like the benches as they are. I feel like the provide a nice contrast to the other lighter colors. But you are the expert!
I’m moving in.
Ha! I’ll let you and Peggy fight for the third bed!
Oh, Anita! I really did not think that this room could be any cuter- and then- WOW. I have been reading for a while, and I love how you have transitioned this room over the years. Well done!
Oh Ginni,
You are so sweet. Thank you!!!
I think you really nailed the French style bedroom with this latest update. It’s beautiful! Your girls must be thrilled.
I love your blogs and woukd like to ask if i need a rug pad under a piece of bound carpet on engineered wood floors
I think a rug pad is a good idea, but please do be careful. Some of the cheap ones stick to the floor and can damage it. I don’t always use one, but that’s me.
This bedroom looks beautiful. I love the curtain on the wall behind the bed and the new headboards, that’s my favorite part. I’m sure your girls love it. Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday. Hope to see you at the party next week.
The transformation is beautiful!
I’m so glad you like it! It’s so cozy in person. The Soft Surroundings curtains are gorgeous behind the beds.
Anita…spectacular as always! The headboards and bed crowns are no longer available and the curtains are from Soft Surroundings…how about the duvet covers…can you provide a source for them?
The bedding is from Restoration Hardware.
Love, love, love your girls’ bedroom!!! Of course I pinned a bunch of photos to various boards but especially to my Ethereal Bedrooms board as it is MOST appropriate! 😉 I just love how you’ve given it that beautiful French feel. Wish those headboards were still available… I’d order a couple and put them in storage for our next home. 🙂
Lovely, thank you for sharing,
Barb 🙂
I have signed up. Can’t get ebook, so sign up, says already signed up????????
Judith, did you get the email after you signed up? The links to the free materials is in there.
The new look is so soft and girly girl. Too bad I have all boys and grandsons or I would copy your room! I am about to recover 2 chairs and I want light neutral for the fabric. Calico has Crypton in Sunday – Crypton Home – Eggshell which will be perfect to use with all my fellas. I enjoy your posts.
Anita, you have done a fabulous job of decorating and designing this room! I love country French also. So beautiful! I enjoying listening your DTT podcast !
Oh Deborah you are so kind!!!
Deborah, thank you so much. I’m thrilled you are enjoying the podcast. We love recording it!
How long is the wall with the beds??? I am wondering how many beds can I fit in my space now. Great job!
Ashley, this room is at our farm, and I am not there, so I don’t know. I would determine how much room you feel you need between beds, then do the measurements for your room. Really you might not like how close our beds are, so it’s more important to do the measurements for your room. I think the beds have only about 2 feet between each bed. You might be comfortable with more or less than that. It’s a personal preference.
While looking at this post an ad for Disney kept popping up. How appropriate! This room is fit for a fairy tale princess! Just so beautiful.
the room is darling, wish my girls were still young and at home. I would copy this room for them
Th
I love this look!!! I was wondering if you could tell me the best height fir a lamp on a 26-27 inch high table by my sofa. Thx!
Really, realy exquisite!
Don’t hate me but I have to admit that I thought the “Downton Abbey” look was pretty cool too. 😉
Hi Anita! I just reread my previous message (from 2018) and yes, I still love the headboards but right now I’d love to find a corona like yours… I am looking for something nice to make our mbr look very French. I have my French armoire, French Drexel desk and my French commode/dresser in there and a corona of some sort would be perfect!
Stopping over again from French Country Fridays this week,
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
Love your style so much that I ordered two of your updates Frecn Farmhouse books, one for my daughter who is all about French Farmhouse. Thank you.
Odessa, you are so sweet!!! Is this the same Odessa that listens to DTT??
wow, the room has been through a lot of changes, but all for the best, because now the room is just perfect!!!!
I love every bit of it!!!
