Paris themed bedroom

Today I'm sharing my daughter's 
Paris Themed Tween Room!

In this post I mentioned that I had been 
working on my daughter's room.  Well, it's now DONE!  Yay!  
There is nothing quite like finishing a project.  Yep.  Love it! 

She has fallen in love with all things 
Paris and fashion so that was our starting point for this makeover. 
 I am pleased to announce that she loves it!!  
Makes all the hard work worth it!

We started by painting the room with Behr Ultra in "Fresh Day," 
a very pale blue color.

We used the day bed she already 
had and bought a bunch of bedding and pillows.


trophy shelf, DIY shelf, lights in bedroom, pink lights


Above the bed is a shelf 
(built by me from a 1x6 and a 1x8) 
for all her trophies and collectibles.  
I used sheers hung from the shelf to frame the bed.  
To add a little interest and a fun touch to the shelf, 
I attached pink paper lantern patio lights (say that 10x fast) 
with white and black tulle tied to the cord.

An up close look at the Paris picture above her bed.


curtains, DIY store bought curtains


One of her requests was a window seat.  
This is the best I could come up with -a leather storage bench.  
I ironed pink ribbon onto the new black curtains, 
hung from her existing curtain rod.




Her (messy) bookshelves with lots of baskets and bins, 
that she already had, for all her stuff 
- this girl is a collector.  
Above the shelves are a vinyl Eiffel Tower.

This is one of our favorite parts of the room.

The desk area. 

party decorations, pink and black, paper lanterns, paper pom poms


I got the idea for the pom poms and 
lanterns from Under the Sycamore.


fabric embroidery hoop wall art, bedroom decorations


I got the idea for the embroidery hoop 
framed fabric from a new magazine called Fresh Style.  
The smoke detector goes too, don't ya think?  Safety first!!


mirror hung horizontally in teen bedroom, teen bedroom decorations


I used an inexpensive door mirror turned horizontally 
above her desk.  It came that hot pink color.  
My daughter is excited to have so much room to see herself.  
She's also going to use dry erase markers on it for notes and messages.

Her younger brother 
found her this hot pink jewelry stand. 


painted black handles


We used the desk she already had (which needs a fresh coat of paint).  
I just spray painted the handles.

For the last wall we did a gallery wall.  
Her initial, her name, some dance photos, her baptism photo 
and another Eiffel Tower.  
(She just had her 2011 dance photos taken wearing a hot pink and black costume.  
How nice that her costume coordinates!!)

The top picture from her baptism last year.  
As the guests came to her baptism, they signed the matt. 
 It's such a sweet keepsake.  
I simply spray painted the frame hot pink.  
The bottom Eiffel Tower print is her favorite.


pink and black bedroom decorations, bedroom storage


The cork board and peg shelf are from her old room.  
I just painted them hot pink too.

And her other favorite part of her room is her dress form.  
She loves to put notes and photos all over it with magnets and clothespins.




Here is a before look at her room.  
We had already started tearing it apart to prep for paint.
