I spent last weekend in Atlanta with my best friend and our daughters having the “American Girl Experience.”  After spending the better part of the day in the American Girl store, we had a lovely dinner at the American Girl Bistro.

You can find decorating inspiration almost anywhere, and I found it at the American Girl Bistro.  Having two daughters myself, this inspiration could be applied to either of their bedrooms or a playroom/rec room for our family.

The colors were light pink, dark pink, cream, and chocolate.  And a touch of green.  The look is girlie and modern, clean and fresh.

I can totally see this vinyl/pleather backdrop as a headboard for a girl’s bedroom.

Isn’t this ceiling lighting interesting?  Great for a rec room.

Look at this floral  lighting – it’s really just a grouping of drum shades around a circular base to create a  “flower.”

Check out this giant flower ceiling fixture!

What a beautiful petal pink color on the tabletops.

I love this floor tile!  Is there any reason we can’t be more creative in how we lay this stuff in our kitchens and bathrooms???

How about this awesome tile on the walls of the American Girl Bistro’s bathroom?   I was a little concerned the police might be notified that some strange woman was taking photographs in the bathroom, but it was worth the risk  . . .

What a cute fabric on the chairs!  Paired with the chocolate brown backplate on the chair, this look is fresh and not too sweet.

My American Girl was loving the girlie decor, so what do you think?

Moral of this story:  you can find decorating inspiration anywhere.  Just keep your eyes open!
