Pottery Barn Inspired Bedroom - Part 2

Happy Friday!  I finished up my daughter's bedroom - finally! - and wanted to share what I did with you all.  We love Pottery Barn Teen but not their outrageous prices. I had to get creative because I'm cheap thrifty. Taylor loves the way her room turned out (and I'm pretty happy with it too). I know I would have LOVED a room like this when I was a teen.

The only thing I purchased from Pottery Barn was the duvet, bed skirt and sheet set. I made the headboard out of plywood and covered it with a coordinating sheet I bought at Walmart. The headboard is screwed into the wall and I hot glued some buttons from JoAnn's to cover the screws.  The vanity table was found in an antique store for about $20. It wasn't in great condition so I painted it a crisp white and love the way it turned out.


I painted the circles on the wall using a dinner plate and lunch plate.  I just held them up and traced around them then painted in the circles. Super easy and cheap!!

The dresser is an antique given to me by a dear friend years ago.  It belonged to her grandfather so I know it's probably about 100 years old!!  I painted it white and the drawers the colors of her room.

I wanted window panels to match but of course I wasn't going to pay full price for them.  My mom made these from the top sheet of the Pottery Barn sheet set that matched the duvet.

I found the desk at a garage sale for $10 and it was an ugly yellow color.  I painted it white and the knobs green.  Taylor loves her new message board that we copied from Pottery Barn Teen!  It was so easy and under $20 to make!!

I found this chair at a thrift store and painted it white. Then I recovered the chair pad with the pillow case from the Pottery Barn sheet set.



I hope you all enjoyed the tour of Taylor's room. Now I need to get working on a message board for little sis Hannah. The projects never seem to end!!


Oh, by the way, her room never looks like this. I cleaned it and made her bed before taking pictures. Usually there are clothes all over the floor and she hardly ever makes her bed. At least I have photos of how nice it can look!!


Linking up to the following parties:

  7. Looks really great! I'm in the process of redoing my daughter Hannah's room right now. I've been spray painting and painting for 3 days now and there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. It's amazing what you can do yourself when you're thrifty... ;-)

  14. To be completely honest, this room is even better than a Pottery Barn room. It has that same vibrant appeal as PB, but your daughter's is unique and one of a kind. Something you can't get out of a magazine. I'm sure she loves it!

    Great job....

    Take care,
    Lisa
