Valerie Allen (vgkchick) designed this sweet vintage room for her daughter. Love the colors, the charm and the thriftiness!! Check out more of her photos on

Valerie:I really enjoyed decorating my daughters pink room. Many of the items were re purposed or recycled. It was such fun pulling everything together to make it work.
Valerie: The lamp was made from artificial flowers bought from the craft store. Simply cut the flowers from the stem and adhere with a hot glue gun. The clothes line was hung up with twine and I hung the little dresses with clothes pins that were painted with acrylic paint. The vintage dresses I found from a clothing store that was shutting down. They were all thrown in a paper bag, I bought them all! The dresser was one that I had when I was growing up- straight from Sears circa early 80's! Bedding and curtains were all sewn by my mother in law. We found all the fabric at a really great price at a local fabric store SAS Fabrics by the Pound. Many of the fabrics you pay by it's weight. The quilt, and framed embroidery prints were all purchased from goodwill at a bargain. The ballet shoes were mine when I was a wee one. I am so glad that my mom saved many of these things so I could use them in my little girl's room.
Valerie: The wall paint is
Pink Petals from
Benjamin Moore. It is a great shade of pink, not too overwhelming. The crib was purchased new, it is from Wal Mart and was a great fit for the room. I have always wanted a dress form and found the perfect one at a local store in Phoenix, called Figs. I then attached vintage postcards with the same painted clips that I used for the dress line. The large Audrey Hepburn print came from Target and it was a must have, our little girl was named after her. Thank you Valerie for sharing you charming room with us!
