Teenage Dreams

If you think that teenagers don’t care about their bedrooms, think again. Sure, they don’t usually care if there’s a petrified cheese stick stuck to their carpet or if they haven’t been able to locate a clean pair of pants in two weeks, but deep down, way down, underneath the laundry and paper piles and whatever THAT is, the they really do care.  Try it.  Give a teenager a bedroom makeover sometime and they will remember it for the rest of their lives, I promise you.

Kris at Driven by Decor had yet to do much to her daughter’s room in the two years since they had moved into their house. It was very definition of a blank slate.  Then one day she decided the time had come!

So she upgraded it in a major way with breezy coastal charm! The walls were done in grasscloth wallpaper (worth the splurge Kris noted), and DIY wainscoting, and the gorgeous new light fixture finished the look.

It’s so cool and grown up, but not too grown up. I mean, there ARE Taylor Swift lyrics on the wall. Which makes for a much better display than what I did with song lyrics when I was a teenager: angstily write them on my jeans during Spanish class hoping no one would notice, but secretly hoping EVERYONE would notice. Sigh.
