Poesy's Bedroom Makeover

So, after probably too many IG spoilers, I'm ready to share Poesy's bedroom makeover.  I listed my reasons for redoing her bedroom a few times in the year and a half that we've lived here in the "Before" post.  My biggest reasons were organization and opening her room up a little more.  Also, now that she's reading, I wanted to set up a space to encourage lots and lots of that!

  Poesy is so different than Hope was when she was this age.  Hope would just hole herself up in her room for hours reading book after book.  Poesy is a lot less motivated in that area, so a comfy-cozy swing to curl up in was high on my list.
Poesy has the smallest room in the house, so I opened it up a bit more with a loft bed.  Poe's super into art and math right now (!!!), so a clean art desk and a dry-erase wall were perfect additions under the bed.


The dresser and shelf stayed in the same places, but I freshened up the look with a this lovely rug from Rugs USA and new curtains from Target.  I love that the curtains are blackout curtains so we have complete privacy at night.  (And hopefully encourage her to sleep in a little more!)

I truly love her peaceful new space!  Whenever I need a change of scenery, I plop myself down in her swing and decompress.  I already asked if I could move in with her but she told me it was only okay if we took turns between sleeping in the bed and the swing.

We're only two weeks in, but she's cleaning up after herself like a champ!  As far as extra storage goes, the bookcase you see on the right in the picture above has nine cubbies of storage for all of her little play sets.  Is it just me or do toys keep getting smaller and smaller?  Removing some things from her room and giving her enough storage has made a huge difference in her motivation to tidy her space and take pride in it... which was absolutely the goal!

Anyway, thanks for taking a peep at Poesy's new big-girl bedroom.  She is madly in love with it and so am I!  You can see the different variations of this room here, here, and here.
