Now Hannah has a comfy spot for all her creative pursuits. The absence of the drawer gives her the perfect amount of legroom between the stool and the desk, and the little vanity stool is big enough that two 12 year olds can share it to do their nail art.
Hannah’s new little vanity stool picks up on the color in her closet, which she just reorganized.
Taking the doors off this space has worked out great – it’s not always nice and tidy like this, but every inch of it is used and even Hannah’s stuffed animals have a spot. Eventually we’ll probably need to utilize the side with the mirror for hanging clothes but right now it’s a great place for all her beauty products (mostly for experimenting with at her age.)
I’m linking up to some of my favorite blogs!

I am absolutely with you on which battles to pick! I make my kids clean (=tidy up) their rooms every couple of weeks, when there is no way they could be productive due to the mess! Otherwise, I close the doors so it doesn't make me crazy! Hopefully Hannah's stool gets lots of use, it is adorable!!!

This is so darling. What a beautiful room. Yes! The messes drive me bananas but I am like you and try to pick my battles. Thankful they are creative and have imaginations that allow them to create such "masterpieces of a mess!"
Jessica Plattner says
Such a cute room! I love what you did with the stool.

Hannah, is beautiful just like her momma. I adore the room and stool. Very bright and gorgeous!
Tiffany says
What a great girls room. I love the colors…really fresh. That stool turned out so adorable, and what a great idea to remove the drawer for a little more leg room! I bet she's thrilled.

I love this sweet little stool, and fyi, it would fit in *perfectly* with my daughter's room – polka dots and all. 🙂
She's been wanting to do a "room refresh", and I'm itching to get her room semi-organized, so I should jump on the wagon train and get going! Too many plates spinning all at once around here too!!

You two are SO cute, I think she looks just like you! Love that fun pop of pink polka dots on that side of her room, which I can't even picture a mess! Very clever to remove the drawer, and the stool couldn't be more girly chic!
Ange says
Ah what a great photo of the two of you! She is so pretty, just like her mom. Her room is lovely, the pink polka dots are great with the pink closet. I love her room!

Her room is just beautiful. A pop of color, and yet still very serene. Love. Perhaps you and I are doing the same thing– going through the whole house, winter cleaning.?

Pretty room and BEAUTIFUL daughter. Glad you got a shot of the room…since who knows how long it will stay this way 🙂

What an adorable girl's room! And I love what you did with the stool.
We also took the doors off our daughter's closet when she was younger and did something similar. And I am with you on picking your battles…so true! I have done the "close the door" thing myself many times.

Such great advice- pick your battles – I have to remember that with my own daughter sometimes! Love the polka dots – so fun!
Dana Frieling says
Awesome little update, Lisa! I, too, follow the close the door rule. Although, that seems to make the times you decide to tackle the mess a little harder. It's all about balance, right? ha!
Kelly @ View Along the Way says
I love her beautiful room! This project is inspiring me too because I bought an ottoman for Mila's room intending to make it over a LONG time ago and still haven't. I hope it comes out half as cute as yours!
