"M" is for Makeover!

Last week, Emily was away at camp! We had been planning a High School room re-do since last summer. We just never got around to it. We were determined to get it done this summer...before her second year of High School. I knew that it was going to be a huge project. Many things needed to be packed up for safe keeping and many more things needed to be purged forever. I thought in order to get the most done in the shortest amount of time...I would have to do it while she was away! I am very glad it is over! I am so happy with the result.

 When she left for camp...her room looked like this....except even messier!

 

 

 

She returned home from camp to find this.....I wasn't home...but David said she said, "Oh my gosh! What do we have in here?" She called me to tell me she really liked it. I think she really does, although, I need to teach her how to go on and on about some things to make the other person feel super good!

Much cleaner, less clutter....feels so much better! 

The pink middle school wall color was replaced with this cool 

really hip High school wall color. 

It is from Lowe's.... Valspar "Sea Lily"...It is even more awesome in person!  

So many magazines. These racks from Ikea should work for now. 

The basket holds the older issues!

 

I have a goal of keeping everything off of the floor. Hahhahah!

These hooks will help, but I realize I am living in a dream world of sorts! 

Still looking for a piece of artwork to go on the wall to the left of the bed 

and a new window shade or set of blinds!

And I would like to change the light fixture to something a little more fancy.
The comforter set came from...are you ready...Walmart.com. $39.00!
It is reversible. The pillow shams show the print on the other side.

 The desk chair and the jewelry hanger (Ikea) were spray painted black
along with the mirrors and shelves and wall hooks in the first photo.
What a difference $3 can make!

The mirror here was on clearance at Kirkland's for $11. Yay me!

 

 The little chest here was another Kirkland's find! The lid lifts off for storage. 

At the moment...there is nothing inside! Yay again!

The mirror was one we removed from our bathroom wall several years ago.

The rug and fuzzy pillow were in her old room...JCPenny.com.

 The bedroom door got a makeover too! 

A new coat of paint...and a sign! Just one sign!

So...there you have it!

The room makeover reveal!

So much better and more grown up. Do you agree?

Here's hoping all your summer projects are going well too!
