Create an imaginary world in your little girl's room that incorporates what she loves, such as fuzzy animals, princess items or shades of pink and purple. Decide on a theme first, and then choose wall decor to match the theme. Look for bargains at garage sales and discount stores, or buy marked-down accessories at department stores.
