The girls' room in this week's episode of Sarah's House 4 is a cheerful, happy, exuberant space, starting with the initial inspiration for the room, a colourful confetti dot fabric. Tommy felt that this fabric was better suited to a baby's room, but Sarah reasoned that used in the right way, it would come across as mature.

With such a vibrant fabric as the jumping off point, Sarah decides it best to keep the furniture neutral. Finding several affordable Eastlake pieces, the bed ($175), desk chair ($75) and chest ($200) are all sprayed with a few coats of SR29, Snowfall. Keeping things light and bright, Sarah also chooses to upgrade to a 100% wool white broadloom with a waffle texture.
The room gets another hit of colour, this time on the barrel vaulted ceiling in the room's alcove. A splash of bright orange (pulled from the quilt) brings attention to the ceiling's architectural detail, while at the same time highlighting a vintage pagoda chandelier.

The girls' room has an adjoining bath, where Sarah keeps expenses in line by spending just $2,058 of the upgrade budget to add a few special touches. A combination of cream and white subway tiles laid in a unique pattern are an affordable option in the shower enclosure.
An antique desk is repurposed as a vanity.

I'm sure any young girl would love to call this space her own! What did you like about this room? Anything you didn't like? Leave a comment below with your thoughts!

I have yet to watch this episode although after seeing these rooms in person and reading all the blog posts, feel like I don't need to! The best part to me seems to be those lovely aged corbels.
