Hi friends! Jillian here, and I’m just back from April school break. I spent the week in Rhode Island at my parents’ home with my children while my foyer stairs were getting sanded and refinished here at my brick nest. Dare I say I think we may be done with the floors in the house?!?! I’m super excited about that! I will show you more on the grand foyer refresh soon, but today we are plugging along with week four of the One Room Challenge, decor and more! Be sure to check out the progress of hundreds of other bloggers as they transform rooms during this event. Thanks to Calling It Home for hosting!
Since I am just getting back home and reorganized from school break I will keep it brief today with lots o’ photos and with little chit chat!! Also, since you saw the furniture last week, I am trying to keep things top secret too before the big reveal! I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise for you!

Here’s a quick recap: week 1 was the plan, week 2 was blush-pink paint, and week 3 was furniture, a rug, and lighting. Now onward with the photographs of some decor elements I am planning for my daughter’s big girl bedroom! Below is an adorable pouf my fabulous sister-in-law Becky (of Nantucket Looms) gave me for my daughter’s room. It’s a perfect way to tie together the purple rug and the blush-colored walls! Be sure to check out the amazing selection of home decor and more at Nantucket Looms.
Look at these adorable little baskets I found! I love the beachy, chic, girly vibe. I may just have to pick up some more of these affordable little cuties!
Now on to the doll house bookshelfie (similar bookshelf). Love, love, love how cute this bookshelf arrangement came out! Functional and adorable storage–now you can’t beat that!
This great lamp was another Homegoods score! Here is a similar option.
These lamps I had already, and their small size is perfect for the pretty and petite nightstands.
I love this pillow for the bench. I’m planning to fill the rest of this bench with stuffed animals and dolls to make it into a whimsical storage space.
You all know Lisa is serious about pillows right (click here to read more)? Below is a simple pillow trial run, pending Lisa’s approval of course!
Lastly, this old field hockey trophy of mine that was collecting dust in the basement is going to get a spray paint makeover and turn into a fun, unique decor accent for my daughter’s room. Stay tuned for that! While I don’t know how exactly it will turn out, the trophy couldn’t get any uglier so it’s worth a go! Also I should add that obviously the date on the trophy is wrong (wink wink)!
Here is a look at what we have left to do:
- Next week I will talk about art and window treatments (and anything else I may have forgotten).
- Decorate the heck out of this little girl room and have Lisa take a gazillion photos for the REVEAL!
Yippee! Almost there! Check back next week as I show you some fantastic paintings by my mother-in-law and dish about all of my framing secrets. You will not want to miss it–it will be easy on the eyes and helpful for sure!

Getting time from work and spent some time with family is one of the best idea which boost creativity. More creative the person means more the new ideas and concepts, why not enjoy the YOGA a great way to explore the creative ideas and concepts with full mental refreshment.

The dollhouse shelf is so sweet. Don’t be surprised if she removes all the books and replaces them with doll furniture. My daughter just did that with a regular bookshelf (even though she has a dollhouse….) The room is looking great!
Jillian Jusko says
Thanks for the heads up Emy! We did have the shelf in the basement playroom and it was just filled with junk, looks way better now! The question is will it last? Thanks for reading!
Lora says
The dollhouse shelf is too cute! And I just love the fabrics and prints throughout the room.
Jillian Jusko says
Thank you Lora, it’s coming along. Now I just have some odds and ends to decide on and finish up!
Cassie Bustamante says
