SUBURBAN * POP

Recently our kids made the big split into their own separate rooms and we have slowly been trying to put together two new spaces. This used to be my children’s shared bedroom, but now it’s my oldest’s very own room. We worked together on putting it together and it came out so cute!

We kicked around some ideas to begin with and my kid’s only requests were pink, black and gold with their bed in a corner instead of floating in the center of a wall. We landed on this vibe:

The walls were already bright white so the plan was to add a bold strip of coral pink (Behr Sunset Strip) on one wall, wrap it around the corner to hug the bed, mix in some gold with the light wood and bamboo blinds, and maybe throw in a spot of black.  We were going for color and cheerfulness, but easily swapped in the future when tastes change (and the future teenager wants to paint all the walls black).

Eventually we’ll get around to replacing this old carpet with wood floors and new baseboards.

I’m proud to say that, other than a quart of paint, we purchased NOTHING for this room. Everything was plundered (even those fish from the bathroom, turned DIY kooky mobile), leaving me with quite a few holes to fill in other rooms.

Thanks for reading the internet! xoxo
