I think you need to be a coach because I'm all pumped about your room makeover after reading this post – you wrote it in such a fun way! I've loving your plans – especially that wood and metal shelving! You know I'll be following along with ya!
Prettypracticalhome says
Ohmygosh, Lisa–I'm not sure whether I should comment or go running around the block! Loved your post and love the plan–so excited to be doing this together again!
Christine Dovey says
Your post is so cute and fun to read:) Excited to see how you makeover this room…spaces for teenage boys are tricky!!!
Ange says
So fun! Looking forward to seeing what you do in here, love your design specs already! The before pic is great too, looks familiar to rooms in our home!
Brenna Morgan says
I think I laughed out loud a couple of times! You can totally do this!!! Look fear in the eye, my friend. Stay strong and call me if you need a pep talk! 🙂
Stacey {steward of design} says
This room is going to be great! Looking forward to following along.
Jenny says
Love this! I give you credit for putting your 17 year old's room on your blog – I might share my 17 year-old's when he's out of the house and the room can be decontaminated. 😉
Can't wait to see what you put together – I know the dark color would be a hit here – anything to make his room more conducive to sleeping, right? 🙂
Adelina Priddis says
You are an inspiration Lisa! I can't wait to see the end result.
Privet and Holly says
Thanks for the BIG
smile this gray Friday
here in MN. I'm living
the same story, with
a soon to be 17 year
old PSAT-prepping,
sailing team, Quiz-
bowl team, Robotics
team, jazz-band and
yes (spring/summer)
baseball playing son!
Oh, and did I mention
fall Theater crew? This
11th grade year is truly
crazyville. We did a
big muck-out of his
room over Labor Day
weekend, and because
it was "WE" who did it
and not "ME," he has
been invested enough
to keep it organized —
hooray! So, I'd strongly
advise you to get your
busy boy involved on
that end of things, before
you do your creative and
magic stuff to his room!
Have fun — can't wait
to see the outcome : )

Katie {Miss Dixie} says

sarah sofia knepp says

Sam @ Away She Went says
I'm so excited to see how this room is going to turn out! I just painted my master bedroom a dark color, so I'm obsessed with dark walls now. Good luck!
Vel Criste says
Woohoo!!!! You know I'm gonna "stalk" you thru this, although I'm not joining this time around, I still want to follow all my blogging friends thru the ups and sometimes downs, of this whole process!
The Divine Living Space says
Can't wait to see what you come up with! I love ALL of your designs!
