First, we planked the ceiling. I intended to paint the wood, but she loved the natural color, so I went with it. Less work, no pain in the neck painting, and that was that. So much easier! It’s a simple plank process that I’ll be sharing soon, but was too hard to photograph on the ceiling.
Then there was her wall makeover. She already had the grid system in place, we just recovered some bits and painted out parts to change it from pink to grey.
Of course, we also built her bed. I was going to show you how, but about 30 minutes into watching Mr. SCC do his magic, I knew it was WAY too complicated for me to ever try to explain. (Which is why he always builds and I always paint.)
We also brought in a new-to-her (from my bedroom) dresser. I gave it a fresh coat of gray paint, coated the top with poly for extra protection, and moved it in. Simple 🙂 I framed some drawings and notes from her friends to create a gallery wall of her favorite things.
And then there’s the pouf. She loves this thing! So glad I decided to make it. {And you can, too!}
Last, I made the curtains. They were a simple project, just hemming the sides and ends, then added a rod pocket to the top. Perfect for a teen room makeover, don’t ya think?
The details:
Paint: Sherwin Williams Pure White
Bedding: Target
Curtain fabric and pouf fabric: Fabric.com
Beautiful room! As the mother of 4 daughters…. I approve!

Lovely room, the grid system on the wall and the pouf are a couple of my favorite things but I love the colors as well.
I saw your post on FB and when I looked at the pic, I was like hmmmm…something in that room seems familiar, and then it hit me…the comforter!! I just redid my teens room and used the same one from Target!! She fell in love with it and from there started an avalanche of projects and painting! Your teen’s room looks great!
So pretty! Love that ceiling! Can’t wait to see how you did it. Cause, I want to copy!
Great job Gina. My daughter would have loved this room when she was a teenager.
What an awesome room! Love it!
