Teenage Dream

This is my 15 year old daughter’s new room make over. If this isn’t a Teenage Dream I don’t know what is!
So starting this project was Hairy to say the least, anyone who has dealt with a fifteen year old knows exactly what I’m talking about… Giovanna my little angel has grown into a very strong and confident individual (wasn’t that great!!! I gave a compliment without any sarcasm!!).  She defiantly knows what she doesn’t like but could not quite figure out what she wanted. This is a very precarious situation for any parent.. how do you gently suggest a color scheme that would not stand out as a black hole in your home and please a teenager??  Well by some divine power I was able to introduce a lime green (Ben Moore – Stem Green 2029-40) and a Hot pink (Ralph Lauren –  Aruba Pink IB52) that just made her giddy!! The Stencil from The Artful Stencil (custom-made into 18 x 24) Was the Pièce de résistance !!  www.theartfulstencil.com.

The Room started off in Aqua and brown with beautiful custom window treatments (Made by yours Truly) notice the lovely lady that’s Gi as we call her room was already starting to transform into the Lime Pink Palace!!!!  The furniture was a gift from Aunt Donna (another colorful family member) who also provided the gorgeous Lime

Chest on chest

Chandelier that only Aunt Donna would find while vacationing in Sturbridge Village MA, always thinking of the girlies ( Sadie Greens in Sturbridge had this wonderful piece).

The furniture started in a antique yellow, handles gold. Mirror at local thrift store $20.00, transformation to the lovely hot pink pieces you see in these photos. New window treatments to follow stay tuned>>>
