Pink Saturday ~ Bebe's Room Makeover

Welcome to my Pink Saturday post. If you love pink... I hope you enjoy Bebe's room makeover. This was our guest room. It was stark white. We hadn't really decided what color to paint it and I had done a shabby roses theme... you know, the typical pinks n greens. I guess I didn't think much of it because there aren't any pictures available to show you. So here is what we started with... stay with me through this because I have a little something special I promised I'd mention at the end!

The room had plain old white walls from the previous owners paint job. The ceiling was treated first with our aqua choice from Lowes.


The prep work is what takes so much time. The design was starting to come alive.

The pink stripes were tough. All that taping.

It really was starting to look like a Victoria's Secret shopping bag.

It was my idea to paint the aqua polka dot border ALL THE WAY around the room... but Dear Hubby did all of the work. I think I oughtta keep him!

And some are probably really tired of seeing this chandelier on the blog...but I love it and wanted to show what I ended up with... I am thrilled since we had it sitting in the basement collecting dust (I know, can you believe it?) when Dear Hubby brought it home from a clearance sale at Lowes. The original bulb coverings were gray/silver beaded shades. Then I went from the pink beaded bulb covers to the handmade (pink gingham!) covers on the shades instead. I also made the pink chain cover. Sew easy! It took two 60 inch covers to make it all the way up the dangling chain.

Dear Hubby also took on the task of painting clouds on the ceiling ("Just like Michelangelo, honey!" I requested.... not too challenging, eh?) By the way, I'm only allowed to show him on the blog, a little bit. He thinks it's funny, kind of like Wilson from the TV show, Home Improvement. Sigh.

And here is my Stepdaughter helping to paint them on the ceiling. She is so talented and really really did a great job. How sweet was that?



I had bought these shadow box frames at Target when I was a single gal living on my own in my newly owned house. I had never used them but found them in a box, still in their original navy blue color. Painted them the aqua color and they turned out great for a baby's room!

I had found some vintage pottery pieces in a box of dingy and dirty planters at a yard sale a few years back. They had cleaned up nicely for re-sale in our booth. We were at my in-laws huge garage sale this past summer. . . I'm standing there, emptying a box of items that hadn't sold when I pulled these out! (We go every summer and I just bring the boxes back, all ready to go from the previous year!) There I was, knowing I was having a girl with a pink and aqua room exclaiming "THESE ARE PERFECT!" I had completely forgotten about them. So, home they went.

This Mon Bebe Doux sign and her name spelled out in letters, which I didn't take a photo of, are about the only things I painted.

And remember my Pink Saturday post about my LuRay dishes? I found these similar cuties in porcelain to "go with" Mommy's set! I can't wait til she is old enough to play with them.


And here she was, just a wee little newborn, four months ago. She was worth all the extra "pink" effort!

Well, have a Happy Pink Saturday! I'd also like to mention here a neat giveaway going on over at The Pink Potpourri .... check it out if you need a blog makeover! I'm hoping I win. Dear Bebe's room isn't the only thing that needs a makeover, my blog does, too!
