Spring 2020 One Room Challenge Week 8: A Fresh, Personalized, and Creative Teen Girl Bedroom

Before we take a look at the completed room, let’s take a look back to remember what I started with!

Spring 2020 One Room Challenge Week 3: The Battle of the Wallpaper

If you are new here, welcome!! You’ll also see that I’m new here too!! I’ve been putting blogging off for years…..I’m an interior designer, not a blogger, but the One Room Challenge was a good excuse to start.

Spring 2020 One Room Challenge Week 1: Teen Girl’s Room Transformation

Well, I’ve done it now! I am participating in my first ever One Room Challenge which is sponsored by Better Homes and Gardens! I’m super excited and just a little nervous to get it finished in time. The One Room Challenge is a bi-annual event, which features 20 interior designers and bloggers who transform a room in their own homes in six weeks, along with other bloggers and designers as guest participants. Everyone has six weeks (eight this year) to finish their space. I’m also excited to follow along with the other participants and I hope you find a lot of inspiration from following along with us.
