Before moving in :)
I want the rooms in our home to reflect the occupants. This can be tricky in a rental and on a budget. Our girl "Lil' Bit" has definite opinions and while we still haven't quite finished hunting down things such as lime green towels instead of blue... we are close enough to call it done for now. Some times you just have to make do with what you can find locally! She seems very happy with what we have accomplished!

I think the biggest trick in dealing with this room was the small space! There is very little storage, which we will be on the look out for some creative ideas to rectify. We used bright colors to liven up the room without overwhelming it and making it seem smaller.

The windows are way too small for window treatments. However, using them as a means to frame items made them useful and beautiful... and definitely not boring. 
Laying around the house was these cute flower pots! I despise small pots for plants as they take too much watering! So, I made them useful and utilized how decorative they are! :) 
As I said, there is no storage in this bathroom. Mason jars are something I just adore, so we stored Lil Bit's needed items in them!
The black and white is something I adore with all the bright colors! Signs are a favorite decorating item of mine! 
How cute is this shower curtain from QVC! It really brought the whole room together! Once everything was in place.. I just wanted to sit in this cheery room, which I recognize as weird and refrained! I hope this inspires you to create a beautiful space ... it is easy and not too expensive to use little items to spruce up a small room!

That shower curtain is adorable! I agree with you, it's perfect with the bright colors! It's a darling space for a young lady and I'll bet that she loves it! I'm glad that you''re settling in and finally able to decorate again! YAY! xo

Lovely! We have a space issue as well. We used an over the commode shelving unit with glass shelves that didn't overwhelm the small room. It wasn't super attractive, but once I finished dressing it up with photos & art, it turned out pretty well! A possibility for you, perhaps?
