I am COMPLETELY overwhelmed with the response that Dylan’s room has received. Seriously, you guys rock my world. I have a whole slew of tutorials for everything from painting the floor, to the hex wall, to the headboard, to the pom pom blanket. I mean almost EVERYTHING in this room is a project, and the tutorials start tomorrow!! But now we get to chat about everything that isnt DIYed and some of them are a MUST buy.
Probably my favorite non-project in the room (and so many of yours according to the comments!) is the Kangaroo Pillow. When Dyl said that is what she wanted I was thinking “Fantastic, another project that is a necessity.” (You have to remember that I pulled this room together in a week and 1/2 so any project warranted that response in my head…) but then I got an email from one of my favorite readers. She had just started an etsy shop and make thread sketched pillows and really wanted to make a kangaroo pillow for Dylan. You know when are are reading something and you are like “Oh that is nice..” and then you get to the bottom of the email where the images are attached and you are like “OMGosh. These are INSANE!?!” That is exactly what happened
If you are in need of a cute creature for any room in your house pop over and check out her shop Jane Isa RIGHT NOW.
The Euro pillows are covered from a Target scarf that stole my heart. Have you ever thought to do that? Dont worry, I will teach you.
The tutorial for the pom pom blanket is coming soon too. I love how over the top it is, its the perfect topper to the simple white duvet.
The bird art is from Urban Renewal and really similar to the feather art that I used in the Emerald Room Makeover that I did a couple of months ago for Studio 5.
I tried a few different rugs in the room and originally thought I needed a sisal to balance out the walls and the bright colors, but it was just too boring. I found this black and white flat woven rug at Homegoods for $49.99. The black grounds the room and gives it just a little more maturity. And the best part is that because its flat woven it is the same on both sides…which means it can be flipped if necessary…pretty sure that will happen.
The standing brass floor lamp was a $5.00 consignment store score. You know when you spot something and people just dont see the awesomeness of it and you happily skip away hoping they dont realize the error of their ways and follow you home? Yes, that.
The little goldenrod ottoman was a thrift store score from a few months ago (I think it was $7.00) it is in perfect condition, and fills that little space.
The white and wood modern dresser is a roadkill rescue that I refinished here.
The little industrial art desk and the huge industrial shelf are from the same yard sale. The shelf was $35 and the desk was $10. And the good news for you? I found a couple of other pieces there that I will be selling at the Hoard Sale! Happy happy joy joy!!
The hot pink and natural woven birdseye basket ($16.99), the gray wool rug ($29.99) and the wooden tray ($14.99) that holds Dylan’s colored pencils and markers are all from Homegoods.
All of the cute art supplies like the water colors and gem shaped chalk are the Kid Made Modern art line that is new at Target. The quality is so amazing and they are so pretty to look at!
The copper lidded canisters are from Homegoods, and let me tell you, I wanted to buy 30 because they are my favorite.
The tutorial for the copper coat hangers is coming soon too.
Without the Fiddle Leaf Ficus that entire side of the room would be missing something. Houseplants add so much life to a space. Look at your favorite magazine, I can guarantee that there is a living plant somewhere in each of those spaces. So if you can pin point what is missing in your room try a plant! This one was $99.00 from Lowes. I love buying plants there because they have a 1 year guarantee, so if you have a black thumb you can switch it out for a new one.
Tutorials start tomorrow, which one do you want to see up first?!
Check out the rest of the posts in this series below!
I love this room! Can’t wait for the tutorials. What we all want to know is how the heck to you do this with 2 kids in just a week and a half? Do you stay up all night? Where did Dylan stay during the makeover? I need to just paint my girls rooms and I am getting sweaty thinking about it. Let alone a whole makeover. incredible! Thanks for the sources!

I am so excited for the tutorials Mandi! I love the room so much!!! You did an outstanding job, my little girl was dying over the puppy wall!
We’re mad about the hex wall! Where do you get your fab ideas?! Gotta run. Heading to the store for some copper-covered cannisters. Your friends at HomeGoods
Can’t wait for all the tutorials but the one I am most anxious for is that hex wall. It’s incredible and it looks like SO MUCH WORK. So I’m kinda hoping you are going to say it was a cinch. Fingers crossed.
Amazing room! Thank you for sharing your source list. I am going to hunt those cute canisters down for my little blondie.
GREAT room. Your creativity amazes me every time. Just when I think I’ve seen it all…
Hexagon wall!
i am just peeing my pants over this room! i love everything about it! i’ve always had a hard time with little girl’s rooms (my daughter is 3) because i don’t like pink! but i totally love this! the pink isn’t overwhelming at all! i can’t wait for the tutorials so i can incorporate some of this room into my daughters room! thanks for the eye opener about PINK! you are legendary.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE HEX WALL!!! Trying to figure out what room in my house to do it in!
Mandi! This room is fantastic! So glad I got to meet you at SNAP! Feel like I have known you for awhile. Thanks for the “scary” night! Most of all for the laughs. Hope to see you again!!
I love the frame headboard!!!! Brilliant.
Totally the wall hex wall!!!!!
I want a tutorial on how you get so much accomplished in so little time!! And then, the HEX WALL!!!
This. is. amazing. I’m not a bright crazy colors person personally(and my kid isn’t old enough to put in their two cents yet), but I love seeing how other people are so creative with them. And awesome kangaroo pillow!
One and a half weeks?! Seriously impressed with your mad skills over here!
ACK! I can’t wait!!!! It’s Christmas time up in here!!!

Gorg room! I used that same bird wrapping paper (at least that’s what the store i bought it at sold it as)I decoupaged it onto a canvas and then used stain over it so it looks old. I have used it in the 3 rooms over the past 6 years!! Loved seeing it in Dylan’s room!!
I have a bulldog so I would love to see that tutorial, but that hex wall is awesome too!
I love the makeover (again) – you make me anxious to get into a “new” house to get moving in the decorating department since all I’ve been doing is “un-decorating” this one to sell. Any tutorial works for me since I will have to mentally “file” it for later anyway. Have a great weekend! Tara
Please post a video of Dylan talking about her new room. I think we would all love to see that!
oh thank GOODNESS that you are doing a tutorial for that fabulous pom pom blanket. I have been dreaming about it since I first saw the makeover!
OH. MY. GOSH. This is AMAZING! Seriously, amazing. Thanks for sharing!!
HomeGoods is the best! And I seriously love those copper pipe hooks….. gosh I can’t wait for the tutorial. You’re so inspiring!

Love, love, love the hex wall! I saw that and called my husband in to see it. He liked it, too. Our MBR is insanely large, and this would be perfect for the wall behind the bed. We’d paint the wood a cream color to match the cream in the RL spread, and then pick some turquoise and browns to pick up other colors in the spread for some of the wall. The wall is already a deep turquoise. Can not wait for the tutorial! We are ready!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the tutorial for the hex wall… how did you make it? I’m dying to know !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am literally in love with everything I am finding here! I’m so glad that I stumbled onto your blog. 🙂
I want to make this pom pom blanket for my daughter Cora! Do you have a tutorial up for it yet?
I love you entire blog!! Thank you for the inspiration! Can you please post a tutorial on the pom pom blanket? Please!
Here you go! https://vintagerevivals.com/2013/12/mandilicious-christmas-giant-pom-pom-blanket.html
