This post is all about the ultimate girl bedroom makeover reveal after only a few weeks of work.

Girl Bedroom Makeover Reveal

Before showing a ton of before and after photos, I want to share that my daughter and I came up with this plan together.  I asked her a ton of questions about her room and involved her in picking out the new pieces.  I highly recommend beginning your project with a plan that involves your daughter’s voice.  We also did a huge purge together and made lists as we went along as to what to add to the project.

Space #1:  The Study Area

This was my daughter’s first priority.  She wouldn’t use this space at all to study or read and she had a vision for what she wanted.

 Her Requests:

  • A new large desk facing the wall
  • A huge whiteboard on the opposite wall
  • Decorative pictures above her desk
  • Keep her pink chair
  • New blackout shades

I wasn’t sure about adding a huge desk on the wall because the space is so narrow, but I was wrong.  She was thrilled with the change and she uses this desk and study area all the time now.

Space #2:  The Vanity Area

I added this vanity area a few years ago and wasn’t sure it would get much use.  It gets more use than any other area in her room.  Her friends often squeeze next to her when they are getting ready.  If your daughter is into makeup and hair –  you need to find a way to add a little vanity.  They even make foldable wall ones – LIKE THIS ONE. 

Her Requests:

  • A custom glass piece for the top of the vanity
  • A new blackout shade to replace the broken one
  • Move the mirror a few inches higher
  • Reorganize jewelry

I can’t get over how much of a difference the glass top made!  After a ton of research, I decided to order the glass from a local glass company.  The price was a little cheaper and I wanted to make sure there were no cracks or issues.  There are a lot of options, but be sure to check with a local company first!

Space #3: The Bed Area

We were both so happy with so many things about this space.  We both love the Ruggable Rug, the storage bed, and the bedding.  But, there are pieces in this room that haven’t worked in some time.

Her Requests:

  • Replace the small knitted poufs with a storage bench.
  • Move the garbage can to the desk area.
  • Replace the window shade.
  • Replace the two fuzzy storage cubes next to her bed with floating shelves.

She was right!  The floating shelves are so much better than the old fuzzy storage cubes she used to have and the bench is amazing.  Both pieces really elevated the feel of the room.  I’m so happy we worked on this plan together.  She has great ideas and a really cool sense of style!

Space #4:  The Little Touches

little upgrades

Sometimes little things can make a big difference in a room.  We swapped out her simple metal dresser pulls with these cute crystal ones.  I changed all of her light switches and outlet covers.  She had had the light for years, but there was a gap in the drywall around the circle that looked terrible.  I patched it and it looks so much better.  And, she couldn’t be any happier about those blackout shades.  They darken her room at night and that makes it easier for her to fall asleep.

The Reality Behind The Scenes

Here are a few fun facts about this project:

  • I patched all the holes – which felt like it took forever
  • The two coats of paint on the ceiling, walls, and trim actually did take forever.  Seriously.
  • Painting the room white made a huge difference.
  • My dad mounted the huge whiteboard.  I could not have done that alone.
  • I painted the big Ikea mirror frame with a few hits of white spray paint and it made all the difference.
  • My daughter was NOT HAPPY with how long I was in her room working.
  • Paint on the floor is the easiest to clean up in the moment.
  • Other than hanging the whiteboard, I did everything myself.
  • You can do this and it will be worth it!
