It’s finally here. All the instagram sneak peeks and late nights have lead to this moment. RAMONA’S BIG GIRL ROOM!!! Despite my 6 week deadline for the Fall in Love series, this was more of a 4 day scramble. Time management is not part of our skill set.
That lamp though. It makes me say, “I love lamp.” And mean it. It’s from our favorite shop Vintage Freak. (The birds above the bed are also from there.)
Ramona painted the art. I love them even after I had to clean the giant mess that was left behind.
Remember when we bought this vintage Bertoia from the Nashville Flea? No you don’t because no one read our blog then. Looks good in green. Making us wonder what took us so long to spray paint.
Mini gallery wall by her bed that definitely included our first family portrait and the subject of a hilarious post on hypothetical nonsense.
We did hang a chair (affiliate link). It’s so cute you can’t even get mad that it’s cliche. Most adorable award goes to Nick for crafting that tribal art. He knows the way to heart. Crafts, generating blog content, helping me when I procrastinate on deadlines, etc.
Now for the real reason why I’ve been exhausted and scrambling to make the deadline. I decided to make these drapes on Saturday night after I saw similar ones at ten over six. I bailed on 2 different projects for the window, and I could not talk myself out of this one. I knew it was going to be a crazy amount of work and the deadline. But look at them!! They scream Ramona’s big girl room! *Update: here’s the tutorial.
Such a huge statement. They add such a great texture. It’s crazy in person.
Add those insane drapes to an acrylic rod and some brass brackets (affiliate link). Baby you got yourself a window dressing. I got the rod from Nationwide Plastics. They ship, so next time you need to hang some drapes…
One good thing about procrastination is my hummingbird hook was $15 on sale!! The cards posing as art are from a daddy + daughter morning at a Foreign & Domestic bake sale in Austin. Yet another reason to love my husband. He lets me sleep in and has coffee ready when I wake up.
Ramona’s room still needs a few tweaks, but it’s a real room now! Things have a place which means it will never be dirty again. Right? RIGHT?!?
I have been blown away with the room makeovers this week. I mean #talent. Make sure to check out all the incredible rooms!
i just fell in love with it, too!!!!! oh it’s amazing!!!!! i LOVE the green bed and i am not a green lover- love love love this space- so fun!!!!!!!! nailed it.
Thanks Cassie! After we painted the chair bright green, I was thinking I wish I would have done that with the bed. I hate to risk losing the vintage look though. Maybe on her next room makeover. You know her teen one. BAHAHA. Oh that actually makes me sad.
Are you kidding me with those amazing curtains!?! I love them! Looks so amazing with the hanging chair. Adore the entire room.
Thanks Julia! When I realized I’m not talented enough to paint a marbled curtain, this was the next best option. 😉
OMG – GET OUT!! This is absolutely spectacular. I love it all!! That lamp totally had me at hello too! I LOVE that curtain. So Ramona and so you!! What an amazing and adorable room. I love that chair in green too. And are those diamond shaped chalk? The bed looks amazing. I love all the accessories and of course the tribal art and that perfectly styled corner with the hanging chair is awesome 😉 I can’t wait to see it in person!!
You are going to love it so much more in person!! Waiting for you to come and nudge everything! 😉
Those are gem shaped crayons as if it could get any cooler!!
wow!!! those draperies are insanely awesome!! love seeing the bertoia chair here (I was hoping to find one the other week) such a great find!! every detail is perfect!
Thank you! I couldn’t believe it when we found it. It caused us to overload the car but still worth it! One day we will have to meet up in Nashville and tackle the flea together!
Must. see. more. of. those. curtains. SO COOL.
Girl they are insane. Lots of work but pretty simple. I make no promises on when I’ll finish the other panel and write the tutorial but eventually friend!
I feel like this room is Schoolhouse Electric kiddo style…and I freaking love it!!!! Seriously beautiful & perfect!!!
That’s the best compliment ever!! Thank you!
Amazing!!! Those curtains are insane and I love them!!!! I also love that lamp. Awesome job!
The curtains are so Laurel! 😉
Love it! Great job on the drapes, #Procraftinator! My room next, please.
Best. Nickname. Ever.
Oh, I fell in love alright. Hot damn. This is fabulous. I’ve come to expect nothing less from you Wills. I’m just dying over every last detail!!! Those curtains are 100% worth the effort – they are amazing! And the bed and the lamp and the chair and the perfectly styled accessories… DIVINE!
Thank you! Glad you love them and aren’t mad I bailed on the yarn/string/ribbon idea!!
Amazing room makeover! Those curtains, what a project! but you’re absolutely right, they’re such a statement! And PS I definitely need an acrylic curtain rod with brass mounts. Thank you for sharing the sources!
Who doesn’t need an acrylic curtain rod? They are amazing and super affordable!
Her room looks so great! Like everyone else, I can’t get over those curtains!
Thanks Caitlin! They were definitely the labor of love in this room, but 100% worth all my time and every ache in my body!
Are you kidding me with those drapes!!! I die. Love this room so much. Such a perfect space for a little girl:)
Haha thanks Shavonda!! Ramona loves it. She says the drapes are her favorite part. I’m glad she appreciates all my effort!
Please say you will give a tutorial on how you did the curtains!
I will!! It’s so easy just really time consuming. Something that you can do in front of the tv though!
Such a great space for a little girl. Love all the vintage details and colour!
Thank you!
Oh my word, THAT is adorable! And I love how you framed the baby dress – I’m guessing that was hers? I may have to steal that idea!
Thanks Bethe! I just smashed that shirt in the frame and it stuck. So easy! I’m a baby clothes hoarder, so it’s nice to see one out of the storage tub!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Those curtains are so amazing!! And I bet she is going to love sitting in that hanging chair!
By sitting you mean going around and around. If so, then yes. She absolutely loves that!
Holy SSSSSSSHHHHHHHH.
I mean, seriously, I just said that out loud. This room is amazing. Not surprised of course, because you ooze awesomeness. Those curtains are seriously the best thing ever. And I”m exhausted just looking at them.
Is that artwork made from knitting needles? I Love that. And the green chair. And the headboard. And the curtains. And the little fox. And the rug.
I love it all. Pinning the shhhhhhh out of this.
Ahahaha you are awesome! Thank you!! It is knitting needles!! You figured it out!! Genius.
That is one stylish room for one stylish kid! Those curtains were totally worth your time and stress. That gallery wall is adorable too. And that tribal art. You guys win the internet today.
Thanks Michelle! The curtains were a crazy amount of work, but agree they were worth it!
Whoa. Okay, so Ramona’s room is incredibly easy to fall in love with. That gallery wall is the most charming thing I’ve ever seen. And I’m so impressed with the curtain I had to call Dave over to look at it, and that doesn’t happen very often :). Amazing job!
Haha did he remember who I am??
Thanks Gretchen!
Oh my goodness! I love everything about this room! It is precious and quirky and adorable and fabulous! I want to live here and have magical dreams. I think this room would totally help get my creative juices flowing!
Thank you! I did consider making Ramona sleep upstairs so I could sleep in there the night I finished it. She wouldn’t let me though.
So much to love! Can we talk about how awesome those drapes turned out!?! For reals, they are my favorite thing. So many great, unique touches! I love her room!!!!! xoxo
Thanks Kristin! The drapes are definitely a show stopper and worth all the effort!
Those drapes. I got seriously wide-eyed when I scrolled down to that image. Wowza.
Haha thanks Rachel! They are so fun. I wasn’t sure how good they would turn out until I had the bottom row finished. Then I knew they were going to be good!
GORGEOUS!!! Now i need curtains like that too…for my own room!!! I love everything. Beautiful!!!
Thanks Tania! They look even better in person!
Her room is so fun! It looks incredible! I absolutely love those curtains! They are crazy, but a good kind of crazy.
Haha thanks Ashley! They are definitely a huge statement.

okay…this is gorgeous!! I’ve been wanting to reveal my daughter’s new headboard. But i have so much accessorizing to do. I had the same vintage birds, I sold them on Etsy a while back, makes me wish I had kept them! truely lovely. xo julia
Thank you! We’ve had those birds for probably over a year just hanging out waiting to be used! I told Nick the other day if we didn’t have this series deadline we would have had a lot of finished things and no accessorizing therefore no blog updates! That last step always seems to loom for far too long!
Love it all…textured rug – check. Brass birdies – check. Girlie curtains – check. J. Crew kids COUTURE dress with Peter Pan collar and rhinestone accents – check. Nona’s room is uber hipster chic!!! Good luck getting her out of the house now:)
Haha thanks! Well she stayed the night at my sister’s last night, so the promise of a fun night with her cousins will lure her out.
WHAT. Why are you always consistently so brilliant. This is not creepy at all, but I totally want to be a five-year-old girl just so I can live in that room. I’ll have to settle for letting my future daughter-in-law use it for now. But those CURTAINS!!!
Haha thanks Kelly! If you and Andy can fit on a twin bed, I’ll put you there when you come visit! 😉
You know this room is perfect right!! I couldn’t possibly love it any more than I do. Perfect!
Aw thank you! The only thing more perfect would be a LOVE pillow from Max and Me Homewares!
Oh my goodness. The green bed, the brass birds, the hanging chair, the drapery rod, THE DRAPES. These are a few of my favorite things, la la la la. What are the drapes even made of of?! I know my way around a sewing machine and you just blew my mind, girl. Such a fun, beautiful room!
They are made of fabric and no sewing involved!! Did I just blow your mind?
Hi, it’s me. You know, the not-blogger. Ramona’s room is, to quote Hilary Duff, WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF! I’m very impressed at your 4-day scramble. The design is faultless. I am dying over the curtains. Can I drape myself in them?? Maybe I could do a spin off of your tutorial about how to make it into a dress haha. But fo real, nice job Willizz!
You’re so crazy and I love you so much! Thanks Kenz! I’m looking forward to all the designing in your new place!!
I love it so much! The old school desk as a nightstand is charming. And the artwork reminds me of my great grandma in the goodway!
Aw thank you! The school desk was plan B after my mid century Goodwill find was being weird about stain. It all worked out though. The desk was a much better solution for her anyway!
I keep coming back to this room because it. is. INSANE! I adore! The curtains are what my innermost dreams are made of, and I beg for a DIY on the knitting needle tribal art! Seriously one of my fave blog posts of all time. Such an amazing space for a little girl.
Thank you so much! I am planning on having the posts for the tribal art and the drapes up after the beginning of the year! There will be a few fun tweaks in here too, so stay tuned!

Wow! An amazing room! I love all the details. I have wanted to put a hanging chair in my little girl’s room forever. I’m wondering how much the wants actually swings? My space wouldn’t allow for any swinging motion. It doesn’t look like you have much room either???
I thought if I put it with as little swinging room as possible then maybe they wouldn’t get too crazy swinging around. It worked! It almost functions as more of a rocking chair that Ramona just swings slightly as she reads.
