I posted a while back about my daughter’s room, but since then we have made some changes to make it more “grown-up,” and I wanted to share the changes with you…

Her wall slants upward toward the ceiling above her bed, and we originally had these pictures arranged there. She grew tired of this look, so we changed it…

These LED string lights were only $12 from amazon.com, and they look perfect! The glow from them is very relaxing, and the bulbs don’t get hot so there is no fire hazard. We just used clothespins to attach a few pictures to them. The string of lights is so long that we draped what was left under her chair, and it turned out really cool.

She also thought her nightstand and lamp looked too “young” for her…

…so we got this shelf from Target instead. The fur baskets and lamp also came from Target. Now she can hide her phone chargers, headphones, etc. in the baskets so her table doesn’t look so cluttered.

The last thing we changed was the curtains. These striped panels came from amazon.com, and they remind me of being in a Kate Spade store!

They are also black-out curtains, so when they are closed the sun can’t get in, keeping her room cooler in the summer. (In the Louisiana heat we need all the help we can get!)

Even though this vanity chair and jewelry holder were on the previous blog post, I love them so much I had to post them again! (Chair from T.J. Maxx, and jewelry holder is just a deer skull that we spray painted metallic gold. See earlier blog post “Allyson’s Room” for details.)

So parents of teenage daughters – don’t freak out when they want to re-do their room as often as they re-do their nail polish, because just a few small changes can make a room feel entirely different!

Thanks y’all!
