this would have been my DREAM room at 13...it is definitely girlie, but not baby-like or too cutesy. LOVE the colors used.

I think I'd LOVE it but I can't get a sense of the whole room--too many close-ups and then 2 photos of the same area. But it's probably an awesome room for your teens--thumbs up!

The Black Apple prints are fantastic! I have the same ones in my bedroom.

Yes, I'm curious about the frames as well. I have a Black Apple print that would benefit from such framing.

Hello, the frames were vintage finds that I've painted with chalkboard paint.

The necklace organizer, I made using a black frame and a cork board painted black.

Thanks for your votes!

Super cool room - those girls are lucky to have a mom who will do a great look like this. Did you make the black hanging shoe holder thing? I haven't ever seen one in the stores.
