One Room Challenge, Week 6 - Teenage girl's bedroom, the reveal!

5/7/2015

We have finally reached the end of the One Room Challenge adventure, and it's reveal day!
You may already know that I decided to make-over my daughter's tiny bedroom, the size of the room, my daughter's possessions and her desires were all together a huge challenge! Six weeks of decisions and work and we are both very happy with the outcome.
I'll let the (many) pictures talk for themselves but first, a reminder of what we began with:

Same corner, now:

A "before" photograph from the opposite corner:

After:

All "after" pictures are taken by my son and my daughter, I think that they did a pretty good job, right?

Sylvie

Thank you Traci! Happy to read that you love the fabrics. It was a bit challenging to find something good and not too expensive (since I was afraid to mess up the upholstery!).

Well done on a lovely, feminine room. It's just beautiful, and I adore the fabric on the upholstered headboard. Your son and daughter did an excellent job with the photography, as well!

Sylvie

Thank you Sharon! The fabric for the headboard is from IKEA! I had to work with an affordable fabric since I am not too experienced with upholstery!

What an amazing transformation! A true job well done. I adore the color palette you selected. It feels fresh and fun. The six weeks went by so fast. I completed our entry, living and dining areas in a new to us 30 year old house. So, cheers to us! Have a wonderful weekend.

Sylvie

ha ha ! Thanks Jenni! You are so right: decluttering and purging was the key of a nicer room! I hope that my daughter will keep it this way for a long time!
