What we did:
- Replaced the builder-grade light/fan combo with this chandelier. I dislike the old ceiling fan with a passion (lol). It was something that I knew I am going to replace down the road. I already replaced the one in my bedroom. Took awhile for me to find the chandelier/fan combo that I like but I am so happy with it. The retractable acrylic fan blades are really cool. It looks elegant in person and seems very well made.
- Replaced the hand me down desk from my father in law with this desk. The old desk is probably 20 years old. Even though it's an amazing solid wood desk, it didn't go well with the room. Plus we need an extra desk since both of us are working from home now. I searched high and low for a white desk, and ended up ordering this one from Pottery Teen. It was a splurge for sure but I really like the way it looks. Also purchased this super cute chair to go with the desk.
- Added additional storage space: Even though I love this desk, there isn't enough space for her school/art supplies. To create additional storage space, I added this cabinet from IKEA. It also servers as a printer stand. Now she has plenty of storage for her school supplies.
- Repainted the room and created an accent wall: She wanted an accent wall. Instead of painting the wall using a different color, we decided to go with wallpaper instead. After looking through about 20 of patterns, we decided to go with this pretty print from Graham & Brown. The pattern is modern and stunning. The wallpaper was easy to apply. It created a contemporary feel yet understated.
- Created a wall bookcase: The last thing we did was putting together a bunch of decorative wall-mount shelves for her TV and knickknacks. You know this girl is a BTS fanatic so she needs all the space she can get for her BTS merchandise. My husband designed and put together the whole thing. Cabinets were from IKEA. Being married to a handyman has its perks I guess =)
- Added a full-length mirror: I also picked up this full-length mirror for her and it goes perfectly well between the bathroom and her closet.
- Added a chest for more closet space: I also picked up this chest from IKEA for added closet space. The chest stays inside her closet.
