Hi all!!! I hope you are having an excellent week! The sun is shining here in New England and the birds are singing. It’s a great day to tackle the to-do list!

I’m taking my 15 year old daughter Hannah’s room from TWEEN to TEEN and trying to do so on a budget. I sold her sweet little twin size trundle bed frame on our local Facebook yard sale site…..
….and used the two twin mattresses (bed and trundle underneath) to create the bed of Hannah’s dreams! You can find the tutorial on how to make two twin beds into a king here.
Once the bed was supersized, we were short on space for a desk so I searched on the Facebook yard sale sites and Craigslist for a console table that we could use instead and found this:
All it needed was a light sanding and a fresh coat of paint!
I love a desk in front of a window, especially this one overlooking our perennial garden. With it’s feminine curved legs I think this is the perfect addition to Hannah’s room.!
Love the drawers for storage, because this 15 year old girl accumulates a lot of stuff!
To finish off this piece I’m going to get a piece of glass cut for the top so it will be hard wearing.
SUPPLIES FOR THIS CONSOLE TABLE MAKEOVER
Fine grit sandpaper for a light sanding

I also built a headboard and covered it with a vintage tablecloth that we received for our wedding. Moths had eaten holes in part of it and I wanted to find a special way to give it new life. With it’s subtle damask pattern it’s perfect in this room. You can read how I built and covered this DIY headboard here!
On the bulletin board over Hannah’s bed I installed this Ikea hack – wall lights with lampshades made out of metal planters. They are so lacy and pretty, the perfect finishing touch to this room! Read all about this Ikea wall light hack here!
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
