Colorful Teen Bedroom

My 14 year old daughter was getting tired of her bedroom and frankly, so was I. It was starting to look a little busy and not very restful. The purple was creating a lot of noise and the posters looked tacky thrown up on the walls. That phase was over and she was ready for a more sophisticated "artsy" look.

Here's the after: 

Here's a before with my daughter's friend being goofy. LOL

                                      

Bringing in more white into the room helped tone down the purple walls. By changing out the nightstands to lighter, less bulky pieces, it helped balance out the dark dresser. New bedding added interest and texture. I love the black and white pattern in the pillows!

A couple of years ago, I made these collages from thumbnails I found on a friend's Myspace profile. I printed them off into 3" X 3" squares and made a collage. The frames I found at Walmart on clearance. 

I made the paper wreath after seeing some amazing wreaths I found on etsy but couldn't afford. 

Most of the accessories she already had. We bought new nightstands, white comforter and curtains, and black & white pillows at Ikea for under $200. She loves it but is begging me to paint the walls a blue grey like my Master bedroom. I like the purple now and I think it works well with her new decor. What do you think?
