Inspiring Teenage Bedroom Ideas

Whether you have a teen or a tween that thinks she is a teen, your young daughter is probably beginning to identify with herself and wanting to personalize her space. We found some of the most creative teenage bedroom ideas. From hanging chairs, to adorable comforters, wall art and more, we think you and your teen will find these rooms inspiring and creative so you can get started personalizing your own little space. Happy decorating!

You guys, some of these teenage bedrooms are to do die for. I might move into the kids bedroom (and move them to the master) after seeing this hanging chair from Serena & Lily. You can find where to purchase every precious thing from this room on her blog. | Nesting with Grace

This bedroom is too darling, isn’t it?! The upholstered bed is custom, the bedding is by Eastern Accents, and the rug by Feizy. Doing my research, I also found great deals on Rugs.com| Homebunch

Add this to your child’s bedroom for a reminder of their worth and  | Frugal Coupon Living

The before and after of this bedroom is stunning. They have sweet little tips from a decorator about pillows, wallpaper, colors, etc. Loving this tween study desk and the sweet accent from the hanging chair and sculpture. | Decorist


Making a sweet personalized nook makes all the difference. There is a lot of tween room inspiration from Hobby Lobby. I love the side table, the fringe decor, and color pallet.

This teenage bedroom was already beautiful, but the final result shows the power of a rug. Take a look at how dark (slightly ugly) this room was without a rug. I will now be shopping at RugsUSA – crazy low rug prices! | All Things Thrifty

I never thought of this. Take a look at this creative way to make a headboard using art!  The colors on this room are perfect.| A Kailo Chic Life

This blogger does it again turning geometric shapes into a headboard – perfect for a teen bedroom. I love all the touches of color working of a white starting point. | A Kailo Chic Life

This DIY Metallic Gold Headboard is pretty impressive too – think of all the savings you will have your teen bedroom makeover. Who doesn’t love the blend of palm leaves, pink and gold? | Sugar and Cloth

This DIY flower wall is fun, creative and so much easier than you think! Get ready to head to the closest craft store. | Sweet Teal

This space is totally personalized with photographs and so magical with the additional lighting – a perfect teen bedroom makeover! This is a great Instagram craft idea. | Urban Outfitters Blog

This tween room is beautiful and how stunning is that rug? I love the yellow Jenny Lind Bed. Take a look at the blog because there area lot of other cute ideas. | The Glitter Guide

This tween bedroom is so fun! Black, white, gold and chic all over! The colors of this room are perfect. I love how the mirror opens the room. | Meme Hill

How amazing is this tribal room makeover. Everything about it is cool and far from youthful. I think someone is going to feel really grown up in this teen bedroom reveal. | On Eight Oh Nine (I found that leather ottoman pouf for just under $60!)

Look at this secret little cozy space for your teen to relax and lounge – I love the tapestry on the ceiling creating a cozy spot to escape and read or listen to music. | The Little Diary Farm

Follow your arrow with this wooden arrow tutorial – what a fun arrow craft for mom and daughter (maybe dad too!) Perhaps on each arrow you can add some words of inspiration. | Two Thirty Five Designs

Add a sweet, fruity touch to a bedroom with these DIY Fruit Bulletin Boards. Make them using your typical peal and stick bulletin boards. | Tell Love and Party

I think I could sleep all day in this inviting Pink and Gold Bedroom Makeover. I love how inviting the bed is. | Randi Garrett Design

If you daughter is out of all tings pink/purple, take a look at this bedroom makeover with black, white and gold. I also love the hanging guitar case used to house jewelry – take a look on the blog! Also how cool is that Instagram photo art? | Babiekins Mag

You know, I still see hints of a little girl and that is why love this tween bedroom makeover. Another hot item, is that kid’s bedroom chandelier! How cool is that? | Forever Cottage

The before and after of this teen bedroom makeover is pretty impressive. The blogger also lists were she got each product! | The Decor Fix

Fixer Upper Inspired Upcycled Farmhouse Table with Homemade Chalk Paint on Frugal Coupon Living. Farmhouse Decor for those with Joanna Gaines taste.

Upcycled Farmhouse Table with Chalk Paint


So I am a frugal shopper. Before reading this post, that fact should be a given to anyone from my blog title alone. I am someone who will run into Goodwill or the Salvation Army for a piece of furniture. If I lack the time, I also search the Facebook market place for my home wants, and pick it up locally in my area.

In addition to discount furniture shopping, I often find myself having to paint my projects. Often after I purchase, I see they are the wrong color for my space or in desperate need of attention. I am not the biggest fan of painting, but my dislike is outweighed by my desire to save a penny. Speaking of saving a penny, painting can be surprisingly expensive especially when buying chalk paint. I have gotten pints of chalk paint for as much as $40 (and a pint is not much.) I have seen them for as much as $70 – ridiculous! To save more, recently, I discovered Rusty Hippo DIY Chalk Paint Powder. This turns your affordable latex paint into chalk paint!

Upcycled Farmhouse Table with Homemade Chalk Paint

Save this Pin to Pinterest on your Home Improvement Boards

This paint booster works beautifully with Flat, Eggshell, and Satin paint. Please note semigloss or oil based paint are not recommended.

Mixing Instructions:

1.) Pour Rusty Hippo DIY Chalk Paint Powder  into water and stir until smooth.(30 Seconds)
2.) Pour the Powder/Water mixture into Your paint and stir until Smooth. (60 seconds)

BOOM! You’re All Done! That is just under 2 minutes total. Easy Peasy, right?! If only you furniture was done too!

Note: This chalk paint additive can also turn into chalkboard paint, simply double the amount of powder for the same amount of paint.


Upcycled Farmhouse Table with Homemade Chalk Paint

Back to my Upcycled Farmhouse Table. There are a few ways to prep your old table. Some paints do require sanding before. I know Annie Sloan and most chalk paints do not. On your ever day latex paint, I prefer to sand so that the paint grips. There are two ways to sand prepping your table. 1.) with sand paper or 2.) with a sander. We actually found a DEWALT Sander to be quite inexpensive (especially for the number of times you might use sandpaper in the future) and you feel like a bad-ass sanding your table like a true Fixer Upper pro. Again, this prep work is often optional!

After sanding, dust off the extra dust and mix your latex paint and Rusty Hippo DIY Chalk Paint Powder using directions on the back of the bottle, or what we shared above.  Any color latex paint works. We grabbed a pint at Home Depot for about $15. We mixed in our Rusty Hippo Powder to turn our latex paint into chalk paint. Some people prefer to use a round brush for chalk paint, but I have used many type of paint brushes. Just make sure your brush isn’t a cheap brush or your bristles will fall off on your table (project) and stick – In my opinion, this is the worst!

Upcycled Farmhouse Table with Homemade Chalk Paint

After you paint, let it dry and then plan to sand small touches of the table. I will sand using 200 or 220 grit sandpaper or sand sponge. I personally find the sandpaper easier than the sponge because it can be molded – it can be bent, folded, etc.

When you sand, focus on the edges. You want your piece to look rubbed, older, distressed. Add small sanding touches where the original color of the wood comes through. Step back and look at your piece. You can always add more sanding, but it’s harder to over sand and then have to go back and paint.

Upcycled Farmhouse Table with Homemade Chalk Paint

After you sand, brush off all all the loose powder and get ready for Waxing.   I prefer to wax. This seals the table and protects it. Often it is option, but I say do it!  I like to use a clear finishing wax.  To apply the wax, I like to use an older t-shirt to put the wax on the table because, unlike a towel, it does not leave behind debris. One coat of wax is fine unless you feel your piece might be mistreated along the way – for example you have young kids or you are working a table where every one sits at multiple times a day to eat. Once you are waxed, your product is finished! You are officially a paint and wax pro! Great work Joanna Gaines (…or Chip Gaines!)

Take a look at these creative felt board quotes. Felt board ideas are both inspiring and funny.

Felt Board Quotes and Ideas

Felt Board Quotes and Funny Felt Board Ideas

I caved and I finally picked up a felt board for our family! They are so cute and I felt it was a really fun way to express yourself. You can see our first message. As a mother of five, I felt it was very fitting “Langston Family. Party of 7. If you think our hands are full, you should see our hearts!” It works, right? Often at the store, I get the expression – “Wow, your hands are full!” I am aware, no need for anyone in my grocery aisles to remind me! But you know what!?! My hands might be full, but these kids also fill my hearts. This felt board is just a little way for me to get that off my chest!

We found some of the cutest, creative and even funny felt board quotes. From ideas about food (namely donuts) to ideas to inspire you to make a difference in the world, these quotes are sure to make your felt board full the rest of the year!

Inspiring Farmhouse Fall Decor on Frugal Coupon Living. Creative ideas for the Thanksgiving season including rustic metals, distressed woods, and orange and white pumpkins!

Inspiring Farmhouse Fall Decor

Fall Decor

This unpretentious style is distinctly all-American. Nodding to its homegrown roots, farmhouse style homes have a collected-over-time look, complete with old-school prints, distressed furnishings, and vintage finishes. When it comes to Farmhouse Decor, we never tire. From bedrooms to kitchens to porches, we have you covered for the fall and Thanksgiving season.

While putting together these beautiful Farmhouse Vignettes, we noticed some trending patterns. White pumpkins for sure. Use orange pumpkins to pop when you are using a neutral palette. Of course, pull from cursive and chalk lettering, rustic metals, and distressed woods. Pulling form the outside and bringing elements in the house is perfect for the fall season. Print in wheat, pine cones, cotton, stand out mums and of course pumpkins.  No need to kill time carving. The pumpkin alone is a perfect touch.

We can’t wait to see the charm you bring to your home this fall with these fall decor ideas!

Make Bathroom Cleaning Fun (Really!)

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

Make Bathroom Cleaning Fun (Really!)

With Grove Collaborative + Mrs. Meyers

Pin to Pinterest

It’s no secret that cleaning the bathroom isn’t my favorite task.

When I was little, my mom used to make up games to make it more fun. “Let’s see if you can get all these towels folded in two minutes. Go!” Then I’d rush to get everything done before the timer ran out.

Nowadays, no one claps and cheers when I finish folding towels or scrubbing the sink. But there’s no reason I can’t still make bathroom cleaning a little more enjoyable! Are you with me?

Start by grabbing this free Bathroom Basics Kit of Mrs. Meyers hand soap + lotion + tub & tile cleaner + Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges from Grove Collaborative! Then come back here for my tips to make cleaning the bathroom a little more fun.

 

  1. Make it a game: Cleaning the bathroom always feels like it takes forever, but you’d be surprised how little time tasks actually take. I like to set a timer like my mom used to do and see how quickly I can complete each task. For example, it only takes one minute to wipe down the counters and sink — and makes a huge difference in how clean our bathroom feels. Who knew?
  2. Buy cleaners that smell fantastic: Nice smelling cleaners go a long way toward making the bathroom cleaning experience more pleasant. I actually look forward to using this Mrs. Meyer’s tub & tile cleaner — it cleans effortlessly and smells so fresh! I’m using the lemon verbena scent right now, but I’m looking forward to trying the lavender next time around. The best part is there are no harsh fumes, so I don’t have to hold my breath while I’m scrubbing the bathtub.
  3. Squeeze in a workout: We all know there aren’t enough hours in the day.So why not combine a few of tasks on your to-do list? Even though the bathroom is a small space, you can really work up a sweat. I like to see how many steps I get while carrying towels to the laundry room and taking out the trash. Plus, I do a few squats and lunges while I’m washing the floors and tub.
  4. Clean while you’re in the shower: I love hot showers and could spend all day in there. So while I’m enjoying the water, I give the shower walls and glass a quick scrub down to keep them shiny. It makes cleaning the bathroom a lot less painful (and is a pretty productive use of water!).  I stash my Mrs. Meyer’s tub & tile and Grove Collaborative scrubber sponge on the ledge in my shower as a reminder. The Grove sponges are perfect because the non-abrasive scouring side gets into the grout while the soft side gets the glass squeaky clean.
  5. Listen to an audiobook or podcast: This is my favorite way to clean and the best way to escape! Playlists are a great way to pump yourself up when you’re cleaning. But lately I’ve discovered that listening to audiobooks while I’m cleaning is a great way to catch up on reading that I wouldn’t otherwise have time for. I usually get so engrossed in my page-turner that the time flies by.
  6. Treat yourself: Beautiful soaps, hand lotion, or a bouquet of flowers are a nice reward for all your hard work. These Mrs. Meyer’s soaps and lotions are a super luxurious treat — no artificial scents here, just essential oils!

Bonus tip: Speaking of ways to make cleaning more fun, skip the grocery store and stock up on supplies from Grove Collaborative instead. Grove delivers the best natural household products from Seventh Generation, Method, Mrs. Meyer’s and more right to your door, on your schedule.

I used to hate running to the store for glass cleaner or toothpaste, but now I look forward to my monthly shipment from Grove. It feels like a present for me, but I’m actually helping my family stick to our budget! Grab your free kit and try Grove Collaborative now. You can read more about this FREEBIE here!
