Shared Little Girls Room Decor in the 29 Palms Rental

The girls have loved sharing a room since Millie left the crib. One of my favorite things is seeing them snuggled up together. In their little girls’ room, I always imagined them whispering and giggling before bed so it’s the best thing that it’s happening now. When we moved to Twentynine Palms we promised them bunkbeds so that was one of our first purchases when we moved in a year ago. It’s taken me about that long to finalize the space and I’m sharing all of it and some simple shared girls’ room decor tips as well.

I think the biggest reason a shared bedroom works for girls is that they’ve been able to have input in the space, they like being together, and we have a separate room where we keep all of their toys.

The biggest challenge of decorating this space for me was the absolute blank canvas that it is. It’s really remarkable how overwhelming a white box can feel. We started this space with the bunk beds and this beautiful rug. I decorated this space like I always do, I start with one or two pieces that inspire the space. This brightly colored rug was that jumping-off point. Peighton loves blue and both girls have personalities that require a bright space.

Decorating a Shared Little Girls’ Room

Here’s your first tip: start decorating your space with an inspiring piece. For me, it was this rug. It might also be a piece of art, a pillow, or a piece of furniture.

We put these book ledges up when we first moved in and it’s the first thing you see when you walk into the room. The girls and I love to recycle the books that we display here.

This little corner of the room is my favorite. Since this is a rental there are zero stylish light fixtures. I didn’t want to change out the ceiling fan in this room but I did decide to add some additional lighting like this woven pendant. We added a plug-in light kit so it just plugs right into the wall.

Tip 2: Add pretty lighting where you can. Changing out the light fixture can transform a space. If you can’t swap out a permanent fixture, try adding hanging pendants, lamps, and sconces.

One thing I wanted in the girls’ shared room was a place for them to display their artwork and photos. These metal grids are great for that. The girls love to clip up their artwork and snapshots and I love having them on display.

Tip 3: Allow the children to help in choosing their shared bedroom decor. Adding a place where they can display their own artwork is a great way for them to feel ownership of the space.

My girls pick things like polka dot walls and the print of their sheets while I tend to select things like their comforters/quilts and artwork. I like to keep their bedding neutral because it’s typically an investment and then we can change other less expensive things that tend to trend in and out.

The polka dot wall is just polka decals that I bought from here. Matt and I spent 30 minutes or so filling the wall with the dots. It was super easy to install and when we move we’ll be able to just peel them off. We talked about buying this nightstand a couple of weeks ago and I’m still really happy with the purchase.

Our entire house is full of the hideous vertical blinds that are military housing staples. These tassel edged velvet panels are perfect for hiding them.

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
