My new teenager (Lauren) has outgrown her ladybug room. Sniff, Sniff. So, we searched Pottery Barn Teen and some magazine inspirations and came up with a combo "French style/retro seamstress" type room. The bed was a gift from a wonderful Aunt. The desk was a gift from her "Mamoo", sanded and painted black. The dresser was a used furniture find also painted black. (And the phrase "painted black" sounds very easy. It wasn't.) Glass handles curtesy Ebay. The bedspread and rugs are Target. Love Target. The striped walls were a Better Homes and Garden's inspiration. They were fun, done with measuring tape, a level and painter's tape. We still have to hang the black 5 light chandelier above her desk and finish her seat. Maybe I'll post the absolute finished product later. Anyway, she loves it and I have recouped. Recap: painting furniture, not fun. Painting walls, fun. Next, project...11 year-olds "Rock and Roll" room.
