I bought a new frame from Aaron Brothers but a recycled frame would be great too! The opening was the same width of the chicken wire, so I gave it a little stretch and it fit perfectly. I used a staple gun to fix it securely.
I spray painted clothespins to act as the pins on her board. I also threaded ribbon through the wire spring to add a little pattern to them.
The curtain rods and desk are from Target and the desk chair was in my grandmother's garage. I sanded it, painted and made a new seat out of 1/4" plywood and covered it with a foam pad, batting and fabric from JoAnn's.
What do you think?
The only thing left to finish the room is 2 sconces on either side of her bed for some night time reading.
Sheridan and I are very happy with the results and she loves spending time in there.
She has already written a book at her desk. I hope the creativity continues!

Oh my her room is gorgeous! I just love purples and lavendars. You did a fabulous job! And I LOVE the bulletin board!
I'm so glad you posted this and included paint colors, etc. First, because it is lovely, and second, because I am trying to nail down design choices for my daughters' bedroom and have been leaning toward purple with a few fairies. I like the color on the walls and the bedding, and I really like how the chicken wire turned out! Lucky girl!
Gorgeous! A beautiful room that will grow with her!
Truly Fabulous! I love the whole concept of that Fairy Portrait!
...And who doesn't Love a little chicken wire?!! ; D
It looks gorgeous Donna! (as does everything you do!)
Beautiful!! I'm loving it all.
Okay - so you've got to enter the fairy art giveaway I'm hosting - the contest ends July 21st. It would look so cute in Sheridan's room. Of course, not as cute as Sheridan being a fairy. Darling room. I've got to post this on my blog....
Also, I forgot to mention. I will be going to the LA gift show on Monday, July 20th if you want to come with. I need to be back by 3:00. My family and I are staying with friends on Sunday the 19th in S.C.
Let me know...
This is just beautiful! I really love that bulletin board. What a great idea. So many times I see frames at Hobby Lobby at reduced prices and never buy them because there are no ideas in my head for them....there is now! :)
what a wonderful job you did! the bullitan board is such a fun idea... i love it!
What an adorable room! My tween-ager granddaughter is just now re-doing her room, too, in black/white/blue/greens. She'd love this room!!

Stunning Donna! You continue to amaze me! I love the photo over the bed, did you that in Photoshop? Outstanding! And thanks for the tidbits of info like paint color names and brands, because, as you know, inquiring minds want to know!
