Gone are the days where I get to choose every design element
for my girls' rooms. How I would LOVE for them to give me free-reign, however,
I also strongly believe that their rooms should be a
reflection of them and be a place that they have a hand in creating!
My oldest is a freshman in high school this year - hard to even
type that - but 'tis true. She is a good student and in past years
did her homework in the kitchen after school. But this year,
she really wanted a dedicated homework space in her
room - with after school sports and activities she
was finding that she liked to do her homework in
her cozy room - normal teenager for sure!
In order to make this happen, I headed to Ikea, my favorite source
for great teen/tween bedroom furniture! There are just so many
creative ways to use Ikea pieces. Our needs for this space were simple -
storage, desk/computer space and display space.
storage cart {we already had the chair}. And yes,
that's a printer on the floor under the desk - cords and all!
Just keepin' it real!
My girl loves it and that's most important.

** Thanks for all the nice comments on my planked
walls - there were many questions on how I did it and
what materials I used, I promise I will do a post
that answers all your most asked questions!
Love it! Looks so great and perfect for that teen girl of yours!!
