Not your typical teen girl bedroom

I am finally ready to share my daughter's bedroom makeover with you!

Her room before was fine, but she needed a place to sketch and hold all her art supplies. The trim needed to be painted and I was never happy with the original wall color {way to light}. 

Her requirements were to keep the existing bedding, to have navy blue in the room but not on the walls, a desk, display her collections and trophies, no turquoise or any girly shades of blue!

My requirements were to have some type of focal wall, get rid of the clutter {she's a hoarder}, and keep the cost under $300.

I am happy to report that we are both thrilled with the results. I ended up spending @ $250 on the entire room.

I painted all of the brown trim white and then painted the room in secret passage by Olympic. The darker color in the chevron is leftover paint from our master bedroom elephant skin by Behr.

We also kept the diy underbed storage boxes I made last year, the bedding, and her existing bed. In the future we are hoping to purchase a larger bed for her.

The desk was a garage sale find that I painted white with chalkboard paint on the top.

I covered an inexpensive cork board with fabric.

She had to have these dog behinds we found at Ikea!

The shelf over her desk displays all her favorite things; pet rocks, Celebrity Apprentice collection, solar flowers, art projects, and Hunger Games books!

We brought this dresser up from our family room and I painted on the stripes!

The floating shelves hold all her trophies!

Here is a price breakdown on the room

paint and supplies $35.00

desk $25.00

new frames and artwork $26.00

cork board, fabric, hot glue sticks $25.00

trip to Ikea which includes red desk chair, 3 floating shelves, art display system, dog behinds, misc. $140.00

We spent an entire week sorting and purging before I could even begin painting! She wasn't ready to give up all her toys and stuffed animals so we organized those in her large closet. 

Of course doing her bedroom kind of opened up a can of worms because my youngest daughter decided she would like to move the furniture around in her bedroom {yes, she is a bit like her mother}. Eventually I will be sharing pics of her newly arranged room as well!

Thanks for stopping by today!
