2-Day Tween Makeover

Here's the 2-day makeover I did for 11-year old Sarah....

This room was achieved on a major budget. Since this is an 11-year old GIRL, I wanted to make sure that it felt "loungy" for her and her friends to hang out. I did this by positioning the bed in a corner, and filling it with all different types of pillows, and added the tissue balls for a little exrta whimsy. We kept the existing bed, and painted the knobs black. The curtains are just your cheap wal-mart panels with sequins - of course. They were just pinned up to create a valance.

This nook was just screaming for a little attention, so I gave it to them. To save time and money, we left the existing paint, and only painted the desk area to really set it apart, and utilize the entire space. The tiny desk just wasn't cutting it, so we bought an old desk at the D.I., took off the top, posistioned the drawers on the outer walls, and bought a cheap door ($20) at lowes, set it on top, and painted it all white to pop off the pink. It now looks like an expensive built-in! Spraypainted a cork board, and finished it off with ribbons to display her pictures, and just put scrapbook paper in frames to complete the look.

Just as important as the bed, is a full-length mirror! We did this with your cheap wal-mart mirror, then painted the frame on the wall. The lamp shade was embellished with Pretty Petal flower clips, and the letter "S" with coordinating ribbons.

THE FUN NEVER STOPS!!
