Bright and Fun Girl’s Room

A bright and fun girl’s room with lots of rental decorating tips and DIYs from a military family living off base in Japan.

Our little girl finished kindergarten today which makes her not so little anymore.  When we came out to Okinawa, I promised her a big girl room with lots of color and patterns.   Her room is small but we used the space as well as we could for what she enjoys doing. 

Do you remember the inspiration board?  I think it’s fun to see what was planned and then executed.

We repurposed decor from our old living room into our daughter’s room; like the large pink, purple, and blue print and herringbone pillows.

I had my little girl help me make the pom-pom garland for above her headboard.  You can find the tutorial here. 

I sewed some left over pom -poms onto the sheer curtains. 

The government issued dresser got a facelift with copper letters.  I really like how they look with the cherry wood tone.
I couldn’t find a black and white stripe rug anywhere online or locally but this “pebble” rug gives the same pop I was looking for.

Another renter friendly upgrade are the gold decals on the closet doors.   It really makes the room a fun space to be in.

There is just enough room on the headboard wall for the bed and a side table. My husband and I are thrilled that our children have adapted to Okinawan living so well.   We are really enjoying making our rental a home.
