One Room Challenge - The Plan

I'm excited to be linking up to Linda's One Room Challenge again! If you're not familiar with it, the challenge is to completely makeover a space over the course of six weeks while showing you the progress along the way. It's the kick in the butt that I needed to finally get this sweet girl's room done:
We had actually planned to do a little girl to tween girl makeover of her room almost a year ago but we only got as far as selling her old furniture on Craigslist before we found out that we were moving. And while we've been in our new house over nine months now, there's been almost zero progress on her new room because, well, this pretty much sums it up:

Yep, my little one is fierce. The good kind of fierce. She is fiercely opinionated and fiercely passionate about what she wants in her space (I wonder where she got that from...). And every time we sit down to figure out plans for her room, we end up nowhere because our visions for the space couldn't be more different. 

So this is sure to be my most challenging decorating project ever but I know I'll enjoy getting to spend some extra time working with this super special client :)  There's lots of work to be done - here's what her mishmash of a room looks like (after the clothes and mounds of junk were picked up off the floor... 
Lilac walls with a bold pink and green duvet - great color combo don't you think? Not so much. They're both outta here along with the cheap particle board nightstand. The IKEA chest of drawers and the swing chair (which we hung a few months ago and she loves!) are going to be the only survivors of this room makeover.

We don't have everything for the room planned out yet but I gave my girl free rein on picking a duvet and she chose this one - PB Teen's Newport Wave. It has some great colors to work with.

And the walls? We're going bold with green!

The rest of the project list looks something like this:

• Replace cracked dome flushmount light with something more fun and girly
• DIY a headboard
• Create a canopy
• Add some decorative detail to the flat closet doors
• Create and hang some art
• Create a large bulletin board
• Bling out the swing chair
• Make sure my little one is grinning ear to ear when she sees her finished room!
