I did a post titled When A Friend Decorates. It generated a lot of comments and e-mails. People love seeing how others live. I thought it would be fun to run When A Friend Decorates as a regular series.
I'm kicking the series off with a show stopper of a room! This room is proof that a small room with lots of obstacles and a tight budget are no match for a gal with a desire to create a chic bedroom for her niece!
Professional photographer, Traci, stenciled the damask onto one wall of the bedroom!
The adorable little girl who resides in this jewel box of a space has a love for displaying her photos. To keep the images contained this aunt created an inspiration board.
An old armoire was given a new lease on life with a paint job and a striped textile installed inside the doors. The professional photography on the walls is her own, Traci Giles Photography. The little girl rides horses making the horse head on top of the armoire a nod to her interest.
The stencil up-close...gorgeous pattern and love the color!
What elements do you love about the space? Don't you love how despite challenges the room is chic, youthful and impressive?!
Submit your spaces to be featured in a When A Friend Decorates post!

So sweet!
Lovely images! The pink stencil is beautiful. These ideas for decorating a little girl's space are wonderful.
Wow I am impressed..what a great looking room. And to think of how resourceful she was in creating it makes it REALLY impressive! Beautiful...love this series!
Love the jar full of trinkets!
What a beautiful room ... I am dying over the stenciling - wow! I also love that she added a little turquoise with the mirror for a pop of color ... and the dogs are tooo cute!
OMG this room is incredible! and i likle the "junk jar" idea. i want one for me for all the trinkets i dont want to let go!
Pink and pretty: That's a great feature wall.
*kisses* HH
I love the updated look of the armoire, but it's the junk jar that made me wonder why I hadn't thought of that idea when my daughter was little. She could have kept the plastic rings, bouncy balls and other "treasures" she cherished all in one mom-approved space.
I'll have to get back to you when (and if!) I ever decorate! Love this little girl's room and would love it as a bif girl, too.
xxoo
Wow great job! I love the armoire the best. But I can also appreciate decorating small spaces and using one space for multiple purposes. Definitely not easy!
lovely room.... and i know... i would have loved to have met you while i was in montauk... we may not come next year... i think nantucket is the plan...but i know we will surely meet one day... i can feel it. xo
What a lovely space on such a budget - so chic!
And i love the jar of random items... I wonder if I can make my kitchen junk drawer stuff look cute... :)
Lisa ... this is stunning and so cute! To do this on a budget is very impressive! Hope you are well!
love and best wishes

Love the pink and those cute doggies! The black and white one looks like my Cooper! xo
Wow this room is amazing and I am SO glad I found your blog!!!!!
Amazing :)
The room looks fabulous! Love the pink wallpaper!
Lisa, this is so much fun to see the room on your blog! Thanks for saying all the nice things, I'm feeling all puffed up and proud right now! I have to give credit to my sister, who is fully responsible for the "junk jar," which everyone seems to love, and for most of the "hard labor" painting projects (along with her hubby). The best part of the room is how happy it makes my niece!
Hi Lisa! I'm back finally and so happy to get to visit you again. This is a great post. Very inspiring. That damask pattern on the wall is a fantastic idea. It inspired me to do something similar in my office.
This is fantastic!!! What a great room. xx
so creative.. I can not believe she stenciled that whole wall. It looks great! I love all the pink.
That mirror is wonderful and what a gorgeous space, lovely!
What a great series! Love it.
What an incredible space for those lucky little girls!
I love so many elements of this room, but loved the simplicity (yet effectiveness) of the white curtains giving a little private play space and the "treasure jar". This would work equally well for my little guy who collects Lego people and GoGos.
Love this series and can't wait to see the next installment!

What a gorgeous room - I like jobs where the budgets are tight & people have to use their imagination a little more. This a great example of creativity & style without the big dollars ...what a perfect end result & what a lucky girl!

Amazing indeed! wow! I think I want to steal that Junk Jar idea, so great. My son has a little junk tray on his dresser, filled with rocks, shells and action figures..which he calls action fingers :)
Wow I can not imagine the time and patience it would take to do the stenciling in this darling room. It is pinkalicious!! Kathysue
So well done!
lovely, Love the stencils../Marie
So happy to come across your blog! I can not believe that is a stencil, totally thought it was wallpaper!!
That is a stunning room. I especally like the armoire--though the dog bed is so cute!
