allowed them to just pick out all their favorite things from a PB Teen catalog. But by using simple DIY projects, organizing, and buying some key items, we were able to upgrade them into affordable young adult rooms, spending just about $150-$200 each (and that included new flooring!).

Here are 5 tips we used to make it easier:

1. Consult with your teen...or not.

2. Clean out the clutter.

3. Eliminate what isn't working in the room.

4. Freshen with paint.

5. Provide some "grown up" accessories.
