Room Refresh - Teen Girls Room #30dayflip

by Sue Purdy
For the August hosted by Jeanette from Snazzy Little Things and Meredith from Arts and Classy, the challenge was to do a Room Refresh to any space. Since I’ve been working away at adding all the finishing touches to my oldest daughter’s room, I thought this would help motivate me to finish it.
It’s “nearly” done with a few tweaks needed here and there, but the overall feel is fun and lively, but mature as well.
The dreaded Before pic.
Another one.... Yikes.
The desk area.
The chalkboard above the desk area is perfect for homework reminders.
The striped ottoman was made using an oval coffee table, some foam and batting and a staple gun.
The Hemnes dresser from Ikea is perfect for storing all my daughter's clothes.
The Paris inspired headboard was made using a soft jersey fabric. Step by step instructions on how to make this headboard have been previously posted on Hometalk on one of my prior posts.
She's happy with how it's coming along so far, and I'm thrilled that my to-do list is continuing to shrink on this project. Yay!!!


Thanks so much Jeanette and Meredith for continuing to host the challenge.

    Wonderful job! However, how does redoing a room help the daughter to keep it tidy? I have a granddaughter that lives with us, and she is a 'pig'! lol We've tried everything. Would be willing to try this if it would help. HELP!

      @Donna Davey FYI, some kids are 'pigs'. Don't be so easily offended. While it is our job to try and guide them, not all of them take the guidance, some are just naturally messy or lazy. Whatever one wants to call it..
