A pink bedrooms gets a teen make-over.

I finally gave into Piper's desire to have a more mature room. We kept most of the furniture and window treatments but the pink accessories, vanity and childish artwork had to go.

The old iron bed got a fresh coat of black paint and the brass fittings got a long overdue cleaning. I painted the walls a soft brown which incorporated the fringe on the curtains.

We made a trip to IKEA for the rug, white chair and two black side tables. The wall decals came from Dezign with a Z. The calendar and world map are chalkboards. The photo gallery frames came from Uncommon Goods and the photos were taken by Piper on her trips to Madrid and Lake Huron last year. The frames are removable so that she can change her photos in the future. The furlicious bean bag came from PB Teen.

I found the brown sheets at Walmart and the percale shams and comforter cover at Garnet Hill.
