Preteen Girl's Bedroom Makeover under $350


One of mt "Elegant Folly" styling/decorating projects for the summer was Izzy's bedroom makeover.  The challenge here was to create a functional space that's appealing to a preteen while having the flexibility to transition to a teen girl's room while staying under the budget of $500.  Check out the finished project!
Photos used in the frames were from Izzy's recent travel to Europe.  It adds a personal touch and is definitely an inspiration for this young world traveler.  It also showcases her passion for photography.
Vintage-inspired drawer was a DIY project.  We used paint samples on the drawers to tie in with the room's color scheme.  We love re-using old furniture and giving it new life!
Before and after photos
I also found this comforter set a discount store that perfectly balanced the "girly" floral prints and grey/white strips with metal frames. 
Paint color is manhattan mist by Behr.
