I’ve always think of the three little bears when I see this room.
I’ve been working on this room for awhile now, bit by bit.
I just recently changed out the lamps.
Don’t you just love that embroidery work on the shades? The shades are actually white, but look pink when the lamps are on.
I used some lamps I already had, painted them, and bought new shades. Here’s the before of the lamp bases. I used my homemade chalky paint, you can click here for the recipe.
Two of the beds are for my girls and the other one is for a visiting friend or grandma. You might remember a previous post where I explained why I believe everyone should have a headboard, click here if you missed it. These beds have been without headboards for a long time now. Somehow the headboards were not in the budget as we did this and that at the ranch.
I wanted white iron headboards for the room, but also couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. Then I found some adorable headboards, but they were $250 each (x3) I decided to wait.
Then I saw these at Target online for about $100 each. These are actually part of Rachel Ashwell’s Simply Shabby Chic line. They were on clearance, and you know I love clearance!!
Here’s a before photo of the room. It’s a subtle difference, but I think the headboards and lamps make the room look finished. Here’s a before below. The lamp shades are just too small for the room. I knew that, it just took me awhile to decide what to do in here.
I purchased all of the ottomans from TJ Maxx, then slipcovered them in burlap.
And because I just couldn’t leave it along, I moved some other lamps around. Here’s what the red chest looks like now with the newer lamps.
Here’s the lamps I had here before. I just didn’t think the lamps went well with the chest, although the shades had red in them.
Sooo, I’m thinking I’m done with this room finally. Did I say ‘done’? I meant ‘done for now’.
What a beautiful room! Excellent job. Cheers.
Love the new headboards, what a great find. The lampshades are just adorable. What a sweet room. I like the way you arranged the pillows on the beds.
I agree the headboards are a must and bring the whole room together. Beautiful space and so sweet!
I love it! It’s so sweet I almost want to do this master bedroom, LOL
Anita,
The addition of the white scroll headboards takes this room to the sweetness it was intended to have! My heart warmed when you said two girls and Grandma (or friend)!!! What a precious idea for sleep~overs!!!
Love what you’ve done with the lamps, dear friend!!! I have one lamp that needs a re~vamp duing my make~over for Studio One. I’ll be viewing your homemade paint recipe soon!!! The ottomans and baskets give the room an, “It’s okay to use” message! I like that!!!
Creativity and inspiration abound!
Fondly,
Pat
Did I ever tell you I purchased two small old cattle gates to do this after I pinned it last year? I wonder where they are? I wonder where on earth I thought I was going to hang them?

I had to reread the headboard post and I’m so glad I did. Loved your description of the delivery. The new headboards and lamps are perfect -although I thought the room was picture perfect before. What a great deal on the headboards too and so timeless.
This is such a great room! I’d be “beary” happy here!!
I just love this cute room. I wish I could buy those adorable headboards and then get twin frames and mattresses for the grands.
OMG I love everything about this room! I wish I had a room in our home big enough for three twin beds! It reminds me of Gone With The Wind. I love the Southwest area rug mixed in too!
Such a sweet room Anita. The headboards were worth the wait… and the price perfect . It’s all in the details. They make a room complete.
Pretty, pretty.
hugs, Gee
It’s really charming Anita.

You found the perfect headboards for the room and at such a great price! Your lamps look so great after their paint makeover too! The whole room is just so lovely!!
SWEET! I love what the headboards add, as well as the lamp shades. I think it looks perfect. If you make any changes at all, I’d wager they’ll be in the area of your red chest…
And I know what you mean when you say, “for now.” My house is constantly being tweaked!

Such a sweet room! The headboards make such a difference, even more wonderful that you got them at such a GREAT price!
Hope you have a GREAT weekend!
Blessings,
Cindy
Such a pretty room!
I love everything!! =)
Those lamp shades are really pretty. I like that they look pink when the light is on. It really is all the small touches that make the room so inviting.
Oh, Anita – I adore this bedroom! Every detail is perfection – down to the little girl’s dresses! Your red dresser has to be one of the best painted pieces of furniture I’ve seen! I’m off to pin your pics for others to see! Have a wonderful weekend!

Adorable..yes it does remind you of the 3 little bears!
I love this room and I love the idea of the baskets sitting on the ottomans. “It’s done for now” is the key sentence here. One thing about home decor is it’s “neverending”. Have a great weekend!
Those headboards are fabulous Anita! Now sSold Out of course. I am loving your lamp make over as well. I am getting ready to do a few in our master bath. Hope your weekend is a good one.
You are right, a room is never done… but your room seems perfect! This is one of my all time favorites!!!
What a wonderful room! I love the beds and the feminine touches are perfect.
Charming as can be!
Cindy
Are we EVER done???? I am just starting on most of my rooms…..again! But it is fun!!! I adore this room and the sweet headboards are the perfect finishing touch. XO, Pinky
The room is beautiful….your wonderful creativity will not allow you to “call it a day” on a room…like “life”..a room is always evolving…always striving to make things better…learning from mistakes….and just wanting to make things nice for our loved ones….
Love, love, love those headboards! Great score. And you go girl, upholstering those ottomans. They’re perfect!
This is one of my favorite rooms…anywhere…ever. So lovely and unique. Well done!!!
Hugs,
Meredith
Little changes, but they make a great difference! Love that new headbords, and the lampshabe turned really beautiful.
I always use your chalk paint recipe and it works so good!!
Silvia
Beautiful room! Love the pretty dresses flanking the beds!
darling!!!!!!
You did a beautiful job. Do your girls like it a lot? And do they keep it clean?!?
What an adorable room!!
Mary Alice
I adore this room. I would love to do something like this in my guest room. We have an antique bedroom set that belonged to my husband’s grandmother. Maybe that can be a project for spring. :o)
I absolutely love this room. Those three beds with that wonderful simple bedding are just perfection. The framed little dresses are priceless.
LOVE LOVE!!
Triple Sweetness!!!
Smiles,

What a gorgeous room Anita and just love that there’s an extra bed for a ” sleepover “!!!
The headboards and the lamps are beautiful – but that dresser is simply out of this world gorgeous!!!

Such a super sweet space! Your girls are so lucky to have such a comfy and beautiful space to rest their heads!
🙂 Linda
I am the same as you…always changing, always tweaking things. The room is just gorgeous and so fun to look at. And I agree, the change in lamps on the dresser is perfect.
The room looks lovely! I picture 3 sweet little girls sleeping there 🙂
This is one of my favorite rooms ever! Can I send my three little bears to stay for a week 🙂 Just kidding. (they have been out of school of 3 weeks) Happy new year to you, I hope the internet is up for good now, so sorry.
XO
Kristin
what a sweet room. I love that everything is so soft and calm.
Anita this room is INCREDIBLE!!! Truly like every little girl’s (or big girl’s) dream! You have created a sweet retreat and all of the details reflect your love and care. Well done!
Vanessa
Just stunning. Stunning.
Gorgeous! Your changes are subtle, but they are perfect and make the room even more beautiful (if that’s possible). Love it, Anita.
Love it all!!
Beautiful room, love all the details. Thanks for sharing, Karie
Holy Moly, can you say perfect? Love every bit of this room. The headboards were a wonderful find. I had been asking myself how you were going to find 3 vintage headboards alike. Of course I wouldn’t have minded 3 different headboards. The change in lampshades really does make a difference. Great job.
Si hasta entran ganas de tener bebes…ja!!

Hey, that’s a beautiful dresser! I want one like that too, it would be perfect for my shabby chic inspired home. –Cadence
Oh my goodness! That is the sweetest girls’ room I have ever seen! Those baby dresses over the bed! I have three (big) girls and I still want this room in my house!
