My daughter turns 11 today! December birthday’s can be tough, especially now that she’s a tween (or is that pre-teen?). It’s a challenge to separate birthday from Christmas, as documented a couple years ago in the “How to make a December Birthday Special” post. But she’s older now, and I really need to step up my mom-game.
I wanted to surprise her, so I’m tweaking her room while she’s at school. Yes, we recently designed her room when we moved earlier this year, as document in the “A Blue Tween Room for Girls.” Remember this room? –>
Because she loves art and has a passion (understatement) for horses, we found her a lovely horse painting from HomeGoods as inspiration.
Slight problem, however. Her room has red accents, and there is no red in this painting. Since she’s been asking for some green in her room, we went for a quick accessory fix.
By simply replacing the lamp shades, and swapping out the throw and a pillow for green (also from HomeGoods) we changed the vibe of the room, and for only $39 {happy dance}.
And of course, since December birthday’s are awkward, we lit up her room with a birthday tree, and her favorite Breyer horses.
Happy Birthday Amelia. I love you, and hope you enjoy your new room (and keep it picked up).
Giddy up!

I really like the photos and the arrange of the room as well. Thanks for sharing this one. It gives me more ideas on how to decorate the rooms of my boy. He’s Birthday will be this coming 27. Love the post much.
