Do you consider 11 years old "Tween"?!
I am going with it. Our middle baby is turning 11 soon and she has been begging for a Room Re-Do. (She 100% KNEW I would NOT say no...)
When she sent me Inspo pics, I will admit that I was a little afraid. Her boards were full of Flower Power Daisies and all kinds of other Groovy goodness.
This is NOT my aesthetic. Obviously. But it IS hers. I want the kids' rooms to be somewhere they feel most comfortable, just as our Home in its entirety should be for all of us. But this is their little slice of the Home.
So, I set to work finding a Design Plan that we could both live with.
Our first selection was THIS bedding.
It had JUST enough color and pattern without being obnoxious and allowed me to work from there.
I ALWAYS say to #usewhatyouhave so, I did! I pulled some Bookcases I already had as well as refinished her vanity. (You can find the Glam Lights HERE.) However, IF I had purchased these items new, or if you would like some options that would fit this Design Plan, you can find some HERE.
I also already owned her Drapery panels, but I found some VERY similar Dupes HERE.
I hesitated on the Rug, but I knew I wanted a checkered rug and THIS ONE fit our plan and was a great value! The white has not been hard to keep clean AT ALL and we have 5 people, 3 cats and 3 dogs in the house...
And what is a young girls' room without posters and mirrors?! These things were all either owned, Thrifted or given to me. I chose to go with wicker and rattan to give it a Vintage feel, but still be warm and neutral.
Although I already had these items (#usewhatyouhave) I have gathered some New things that would all work together to create the same look. You can find those HERE.
Finally she needed a place to sit. Again, continuing with the wicker and rattan, I added this sweet little chair with a Smiley Pillow. You can find similar selections HERE.
I cannot even begin to explain how EXCITED she was to see her finished room. Even sister hangs out in there now! It is 100% a Vibe!
