Welcome to Courtney’s bedroom! When Courtney was released in fall of 2020 I was slightly horrified that my childhood and a historical doll shared the same decade. 😂  How can that be? After the initial shock, I became really excited to see what American Girl would release for Courtney's collection. Well, she has it all… Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Pac Man, Lisa Frank and bright, bold geometric patterns. With all the nostalgia and bright colors, this room was so very fun to design!

I wanted a lot of shelving in the room because Courtney has so many great toys!
