Hello Friends!! I’m so excited to share this painting with you (I got the idea from Pottery Barn)….it’s a Christmas present for my 17yo daughter. She asked for a room makeover for Christmas, that’s all…again! She loves a nicely decorated room. I think she has asked for new bedding 4 or 5 times, either for Christmas or Birthday, over the last decade.
The two of us sat at the computer a couple times going over styles she likes. She knew she wanted blue but the rest was kinda up in the air. We saw a great bedroom at Pottery Barn….

She’s not much into ruffles but she loved the dots, blue walls and black bedding. Score!! I really love this room! We won’t be buying from PB tho. This room would set us back, well….I’m not sure actually….I stopped adding when I got to $2000 and that was just the bed and dresser.
See those sketches on the wall, well….that’s where I got the idea to make a watercolor sketch. I’m going to mat and frame it to hang in her room, she doesn’t know.
You love it, don’t you!? I’ll post pictures of the room when it’s done.
I’m linking up to Paint Party Friday, fun times! and Design, Dining & Diapers’ Happy Hour and Show Me What You Got.
Your watercolor sketch is fabulous!
I do love it!!

Happy PPF!!

Thanks Nora! It’s one of my favorite paintings….probably because it’s for my daughter. :)
Yes, I do love it. Your daughter is going to be thrilled. She has good taste. :)
Thank you Melisa! I think she’ll be happy with it. :)

Thanks so much!! I hope the room turns out well.
GREAT idea! My daughter is turning 17 tomorrow and maybe it’s something about December babes, but we have redone her room many times as well. However, you are much nicer than me, we keep it limited to walls and add furniture to what she already has…our summer makeover involved beige-grey and white horizontal stripes going around the room and all white bedding with black sheets and pink accents….
I LOVE the idea of the sketches, I know she will too, What a treasure!
Happy PPF,

Great bedroom! I like mixed patterns together, like dots with print. Have fun.
Lovely sketch1 Has an oriental touch! And blue and black will be a great look. Love those ruffles, dots too!
what cool sketches! I remember having a vaguely gypsy/middle east-looking bedroom when I was that age for some reason – the sketch reminded me of it.
what a beautiful watercolor painting! She will surely love it! It;s going to make her room even more awesome!
Lucky girl, your daughter. :) That’s one awesome bedroom and i love your illustration. :)
I’m with you PBs prices are crazy make sure you print out your photo it’s easy to get sidetracked when you’re in an aisle full of goodies and this way you’ll be sure to get what you want thanks for sharing with SMWYG!
Lovely watercolour. She really knows what to pick to dress up a room.
Love that painting. I also love to look at Pottery Barn pics for inspiration – the prices are too crazy though. Happy PPF
Beautiful sketch! I’m sure your daughter will love it!! That’s a gorgeous bedroom. If I could, I’d be changing our bedroom walls and decor every other year but it’s just not something I can do w/o hubby’s help and he’s SO not into that :)
It is GORGEOUS!!!!! She will love it! :D
What a gorgeous painting, and what a really nice idea for a christmas present. x
How wonderful to have that framed for her! That is the kind of gift I love – it has a personal touch & is a gift from the heart!
Great watercolour sketch, i am sure you daughter will love her new room decor
what a cool room, and what a cool mom you are! Your daughter will LOVE this! Happy belated PPF!
Hello Kristin, what a great idea for an older child’s present, how great for your daughter! She’ll love the water color sketch too, all so very filled with love!
