miss masterpiece just had her 12th birthday and we updated her room while she was away at cheer camp.
the big changes {new color theme, new furniture, etc.} had been done last year but we made some rearranging, organizing & tweaking while she was away to surprise her.
since she arrived back on her actual birthday we added some fun balloons to start the festivities.
and a fun sign on her door to welcome her home and celebrate! { her team colors are turquoise & purple so it tied in nicely}
originally when we remodeled her room last year we bought the corner desk from pbteen but after awhile she decided she wanted a smaller straight desk; so instead of buying a new desk, which is what she suggested {ahem; that's not happening}...
...mr. masterpiece took it apart and created a new top and used the two side pieces from the original desk. he did a fabulous job and miss masterpiece is over the moon because she's been wanting this change for a long time. {this way if we decide to use it as a corner desk in the future we just swap it back to the original pieces; win-win}.
the wall color is WAY brighter than i wanted but mr. masterpiece had to keep reminding me it's her bedroom not mine. i hate when he's right. pottery barn calls this color "pool" in their catalog for the bedding, accessories, etc. and with a quick phone call they informed me they work with sherwin williams and have a paint color to match.
voila! miss masterpiece loves the color. on the other hand, see the dresser? that's more my speed. i painted the dresser with chalk paint and added the vintage knobs. i had to add some shabby, grunge, vintage detail to the mix. she wants a new dresser but i keep resisting. it was actually the nursery dresser i used for both masterpiece kids. it was a baby nursery white along with the armoire, which i sold on craigslist. i'm having a hard time letting go of this one. time will tell.
miss M has kept her room immaculate since the change. we moved every single piece of furniture to a new spot using her direction|suggestions and i made some major editing with all the junk stuff she had in her room. i could edit some more but she is 12 and she likes her things so i am willing to compromise as long as she keeps it neat.
we still have some details to finalize. i new chandelier and storage baskets and bins are a couple that come to mind. i will update when we put the finishes touches.
happy birthday to my baby girl !
