Need ideas for DD's princess bedroom

[Not so Dumbo]

We will be moving at the end of the month and I'd like to decorate my DD's new bedroom with a disney princess theme. Right now she has a winnie the pooh nursery set and now that she's a toddler and not a baby anymore I thought she would really be into princess' more than pooh in another year or so.

Does anyone have any really cool ideas or pictures that they could post, I'd love to see some ideas.
I found a princess wall mural that I would love to use, but at $299 it's a little bit out of our price range.

Home Depot has some ideas. They have/had colors and stamps in princess themes. With paint, you could probably DIY inexpensively.

I found this web site, which may or may not help!

Here are the stamps and stencils...

That was the exact same situation we were in a few years ago. We framed a princess poster to hang on the wall. We purchased a princess comforter and curtains. My husband built and stained a couple of shelves and we put misc. princess stuff on it (crown, pictures from WDW, figurine). We also stenciled "Believe in your Dreams" and used tulle bows for more decoration on the walls. Hope this helps some.

We just did our daughter's room in Princess. Lowe's carries some Princess themed items including the lamp (princesses dance) and we bought the border, and a huge peelable stick-on castle. My daughter just loves seeing the castle when she walks in her room. We actually found the $10 nightlight this week at Lowe's on clearance for $2. Sears has the light switch cover and carries both the Princess Quilt and Comforter set.

I painted my daughters room with "Pretty as a Princess" pink from the Disney paint colors, and bought a Princess comforter from Sears. I didn't put anything Disney on her walls because she has a hutch on her desk and a tall mirror on her dresser, which took up a lot of wall space. I hung her name in letters above her bed in white. Her bedroom furniture is white. I get so many compliments on it! She loves it.

What about a small chandelier for her light? that was my plan for my dd10 room. I found one at Walmart for $49.00.

Tulle, tulle, and more tulle. You can use it as curtains. You can wrap it around bedposts or drape it from the ceiling. Just about anything AND it happens to be on sale through Friday (I think) at Joann Fabrics for $.49/yard. You can even make a few no-sew tutus to decorate the walls. Use those wooden letters to spell your dd's name and drape them in tulle. Lots of stuff and it is so airy and frilly. Beautiful.

Of course, it isn't Disney princess, but very princess none the less.

I saw awhile back on one of those makeover shows making a castle headboard. Now, it sounds difficult but I think almost anyone could do it. You get plywood rectagle and triangle shapes and then some cylinder wooden sticks of the appropriate size that you want (you could probably even find a spec online somewhere to give you size and setup ideas/. You paint and/or glue or staple fabric around the pieces and adhere them to the wall where dd's bed will be. It would be really cheap and you could just buy the stuff and set it up without any nails or paint and just see how it would look - return it if it doesn't turn out right.

I would love to try this for dd but she and ds share a room and a bunk bed right now...so no frilly themes for her yet.

I used a Target clearance princess crown and some tulle and ribbons and made one of the pretty hanging things like you see in a catalog. It is over dds bed. You can also frame pictures from princess calendars in cheap white frames.

these are some really good ideas. Awhile ago I bought a princess ( I guess you would call it..... shelf from disneyshopping that has the pink tule for over the headboard.
I was thinking about painting her room light yellow with the same shade purple or lavender carpet and drapes. Yes, I even have to replace the carpet because it's in horrible shape and the walls right now are dark blue. yuck.
From there I am at a loss for what to do, maybe a princess wallborder or a couple of princess(cindy or snow white) wall murals from ebay. I love the idea of the castle that DisneyfanTN used.
One wall is mostly windows and across from that is a huge closet that take up that whole wall and then the wall with her bed on it, so that only leaves one wall for me to do something really special with.

We remodeled our daughters room for her 6th. birthday. She picked out a Tinkerbell room she had seen at Home Depot. I found a person on ebay that makes wall murals of disney characters. I got my daughter a Tinkerbell--I think its about 3-4 feet tall--its made out of wallpaper that she paints and adds glitter. It was very easy to apply. It's been on her wall for 1 1/2 years and still looks great. She also made her name to apply next to the wall mural. It was fairly inexpensive--I think 35.00. If you want her ebay name, just let me know.

We did my DD room in the Princesses a couple of years ago. I got some very expensive items (a lamp, some pictures, a huge snow globe) on Ebay at a very good price. I bought them back when Disney used to sell merchandise on Ebay from their outlet. It was probably 3-4 yrs ago so I don't know if they still do it, but I would definitely take a look at Ebay anyway. Have fun!

We just did DD6's room in Cinderella - painted the walls light blue and got the stuff from Lowe's that a PP mentioned.

Her favorite thing, though, is a collage I put together of pictures from our last trip with her and Cindy and other characters from the movie - she likes to tell people stories about it - it's great (and cheap)

At Walmart they have a wall border and also individual princesses that you can put on the wall. I'm not sure if they had the castle. They are pretty inexpensive. They are in the area near the paint.
