Up until a couple weeks ago, Harlow was sleeping in her crib. Don't worry-- her crib turned into a bed! She was starting to outgrow it, and the crib mattress and springs just aren't as comfy as a regular bed mattress. I have been looking for beds for a few months, trying to figure out what to get for her. My thought was we would get her a twin bed. Colin and I were wanting to get a new mattress for our bed, so our final decision was to move our current queen mattress to the guest room and move the full size mattress from the guest room to Harlow's room. It takes up more room than a full mattress, but it saved us from buying a second mattress and bed frame. The iron bed frame is an antique that I had growing up. Even though it takes up more space in her room, I think the white bed keeps the room feeling fresh and open. The bedding is what I had right before Colin and I got married and has been our guest bedding. It was the perfect fit for Harlow's room. So, it turned out we didn't have to buy anything new to transform her room!
In case you were wondering, Harlow was excited to come home to a "big girl" bed!
Here are a few posts on how her room has looked in different stages over the past almost five years. These posts will have details on some of the furniture and decor in her room.
Harlow's room is small, but we've found that you can make a small room work for whatever you need! She loves her room and doesn't know that it's considered small for a bedroom. I hope this gives you some inspiration for your small spaces.
Here's a photo overload of her "new" room. You can click on the photos to enlarge them.
