Bedroom makeover for our teenage daughter.


My daughter asked me
if I we could redo her room so I decided to 
make it part of her Christmas present. .

Here are a few before pics. It
was cute but simple & not really pulled together. 



She wanted a bohemian inspired room
so I went on pinterest & started 
pinning everything bohemian 
inspired until I think I figure out 
a look for her. 

I did this all while she was at her Dad's 
so she didn't know I was
redoing her room! ;)


I was able to reuse her bedspread..
I simply just flipped it over. Thankfully
it was reversible. I purchased only
two new items the rest was thrifted. 

The taspestry we found on ebay for 
under $10. The bed skirt was 
thrifted for $1 & I re sized it to fit her bed. 

I bought the lavender blanket at 
goodwill which was probably the most 
expensive thing at (but it was new) $20. 


I did buy some furry fabric to cover
one of the pillows so I used
the extra fur to throw over the chair
that was already in her room. 

The end table is vintage
& solid wood. I found that at a thrift 
store as well for under $10. 


I found lace curtains that don't match exactly
but unless you really look
at them you can't tell. I 
actually really love that they don't match &
they are so pretty! I love the pattern on them. 
I added white lights over both of her
 windows to give her room 
a cozy look. 

I also thrifted a bunch
of random baskets for storage
for the shelves that her tv sits on
(the stand was purchased at Aldi's &
it is 2 cubicles next to each other)


We re used her desk but found a beautiful
solid wood chair at a thrift store
for $7.


I got REALLY lucky & found
a bunch of like new throw
pillows at a local thrift store for $1 a piece
 that I covered with
thrifted scarves to give them a 
bohemian look.


I also found some cute accents like these gold
dishes that sit on her desk for 
pencils ect. 
I think they were maybe .75 cents each, 


& this "love" print on pinterest
as a free download & printable.
I printed it in black &
white then put it in a frame
that I wasn't currently using. 


I think her room turned out
so beautiful & perfect for
 my 16 year old daughter. It's cozy, 
stylish & she loves it! 
Her reaction was
pricless when she came home to her 
new room!

It's amazing what you can do 
with a small budget, inspiration &
an imagination! 
I am pretty sure I spent under $100 
on everything!

Enjoy! -Michelle
