In my search for interesting furniture I was on the lookout for a headboard for my daughter’s room. She likes color and she likes girly but she doesn’t like babyish, I mean hello she’s 12 years old! No joke about it she’s my toughest client yet.
I was very excited when I ran across this bed.
It reminded me of a bed I had when I was little back in the 70′s! Of course that’s why it needed to be updated but the “bones” of this bed were totally there!
I tore the bed apart so I could add padding and fabric and then painted the bed white.
Here’s a sneak peek of Sloan’s colorful bohemian bedroom! I promise the room is almost done and I’ll post the reveal soon!
Not only did Sloan love her bed her friends came over and said it was totally cool! Yea I can roll with the 12 year olds!
Oh to be a tween again! The bedroom, especially the bed, is where I spent hours and hours daydreaming, reading, (and crying too haha)! You’ve created a beautiful place for Sloan to just be herself and to relax, regroup, hang out, and whatever else she needs to do. Awesome job and can’t wait to see the rest!
What a nice comment! Made my day, thanks for stopping by!
The bed looks really cool! Lucky girl

Great redo. I think it was a success. The color just makes the details pop! Glad you could please your client, lol.
Thanks for linking up and have a fabulous fall day!
No doubt that bed was a hit with the tweens. I’m sure it would even pass muster with the teen and college crowd, too. Great job!

Beautiful job. Love the transformation. It looks perfect in her room. Happy WW!

You’re too cute! (: Thanks!
It looks great! And I love that color of pink/coral! Of course she loved it! I bet the whole room will be SO much fun to see! Thanks for linking up to Topsy Turvy Tuesday’s.
That headboard is amazing, good thing my girls don’t see it, they’d want one too!!!
It is so cool!! Love the fabric and the paint and the bring coloring of the bed. I bet the room looks fantastic!
Great job!
Ohmigosh that’s totally hip and cool. I love the punch of color and that it’s fabric!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the room! Thanks for sharing with us at A Crafty Soiree! I hope to see you next week too!
Looks wonderful, I am sure your daughter loves it! Have a great VTT!

Good ol’ Target!! Thank you!!
Sorry, please delete my link. Thanks!
That bed is gorgeous! Nice work Mama!!
that bed is awesome! so fun for a teen to have an updated vintage piece!
You don’t have to be a Tween to love this bed. Those colors would be right at home in this grannies room as well. In fact it reminds me of one I had back in the seventies.
Great job!
I wish I had a color like that in my bedroom as a child. How fun. Now wonder all her friends love it.
Tweens are hard to decorate for! You did a fantastic job! Thanks SO much for joining in on Thrilling Thursdays @ Paisley Passions. I love to see the creative talent of other fellow bloggers. Hope you to see you again soon
