Recruiting some shopping assistance for a preteen

missyishere

I was thinking of buying some fun room decor for SD's bedroom as part of her xmas presents.  This is what her room looks like:

What about one of those really girly chandeliers -- like this--

That's pretty @helenahhandbasket, but then DH would have to install it. That would take an additional 6 month to happen. #procrastination

One of these chairs...

That thing is really cool @eva116! I don't think she'd have enough room for it, unfortunately.

These hanging lamps look fun and cheap.

You can definitely install a chandelier @missyishere!

1. turn off breaker
2. connect 3 wires
2. turn on breaker

But I don't wanna, soo...

Don't forget about the screwing/unscrewing.

I hope this counts as a penis joke.

Ooh, she'd love that @pobrecita!

Not particularly helpful but I had that comforter in college.

Hey, me too!

Get her some really colorful knobs for her dressers.

What about cute paper chandeliers instead of real ones? Or cute hanging string lights?

I like the wire shelves and lettering! Thanks, ladies!

Maybe a divider with a bean bag chair and some pillows for a reading/music area? New bedding, mirror on the wall, get some twine and staple (gun) it to the ceiling and hang paper lanterns from it.

Lettering and a fanceh mirror

You can do a lot with mirrors

This is Soph's room, obv the letters would be less babyish

A 1D poster with a fun frame?

All my 6th graders are obsessed!

She's a Directionator @drea926.

You can use wall decals to dress up dresser drawer fronts. They are easy to cut to size. I used them to dress up DD's bookshelf edges. You can also line the back of bookshelves with it or use wallpaper.

Also a really cute idea @klondikebar!  All of her furniture set is stark white, so that would be a fun addition.

Last one, I swear. I just love messing with furniture.

Place fabric under plexiglass on top of a dresser or desk. The hardware store will cut the plexiglass to the size you need. I did this on my end tables. It's so quick to swap out new fabrics and cheap if you can find a remnant.
