Little Girls Room Project Reveal | That 70s Reno

Welcome to our project to makeover our kids' rooms belonging to Brooke (3) and Blake (4).

When creating a design brief (both ours and the girls’), our goal was clear: design two distinct spaces that captured their unique personalities and interests. Until now, Brooke and Blake had rooms that didn’t truly reflect who they were individually, so this makeover was an exciting opportunity for each girl to finally have a bedroom of her own. Although both rooms share identical layouts, it was essential to us—and to them—that each room felt personal and special.

To make these spaces come alive, we prioritized their favourite colours, practical furnishings, and areas that reflected the way they love to spend their time. Both bedrooms are compact, single spaces, which meant careful planning was needed to keep things functional and clutter-free. We also made sure that each room would be a joyful, playful space filled with everything that makes our girls smile.

Keep scrolling to see exactly how we brought Brooke and Blake’s dream bedrooms to life, with plenty of room reveal images and details. You'll also find a full breakdown of expenses and a complete list of products and colours we chose. And don’t miss watching our MasterStroke by Resene Kids Room Makeover Episode linked at the bottom of this post.

We’re thrilled to be collaborating once again with MasterStroke by Resene. Our latest episode takes you behind the scenes of Brooke and Blake’s vibrant bedroom makeovers—showcasing how we blended their imaginative ideas with bold colour choices. Watch the dramatic transformations unfold and discover how these two unique spaces came to life, inspired entirely by our little girls. It’s an episode packed with creativity, colour, and playful design inspiration!
