Trenna Travis Lange, who owns an online home accessories boutique called Sycamore Moon, found inspiration for Hadley’s room in European decorating magazines. “I also replaced the cheap, plastic blinds that came with the house with ones that have painted-on pink acrylic polka dots.” Lampshades embellished with ribbon and flowers make the room extra luscious—perfect for a girl who admits to not one but “seven sweet tooths.”
   To cover Hadley’s shelves, Trenna installed Pottery Barn window treatments on a tension rod (d), looped them with baby pink ribbon, and finished them off with a bow. “It makes a great hiding place for all of her stuff. Take my word for it, not everything she owns is cute!”

heavenly hangout
(d) Hadley’s sleigh bed and nightstands (hand-me-downs from mom and dad) were refreshed with white paint and cute Anthropologie knobs. (e) The budding artist at work. (f) A distressed hutch over the bed holds an Eiffel Tower collection inspired by Ludwig Bemelmans’ Madeline books, along with seashells and eggs. “She’s a nature girl.” Trenna snipped the loops off terrier ornaments and added them to the pack. (g) A lavender-filled heart from Sycamore Moon, embellished with vintage ribbon and crystals. (h) Steal this idea! Hadley’s tiny red Euro shoes were way too cute to bronze, so Trenna plans to shadowbox them.
