Thrifty Tuesday: $700.00 Teen Room Design!


It has been a while since I have shared an affordable room design with you, so today I couldn’t resist whipping one up!

I mentioned this purple locust rug a few days ago when discussing my plans for my living room.
Since then I can’t get it out of my head! I adore the pattern and color.

This teen room was inspired by that rug, and I am pretty positive that any teen girl wouldn’t mind hanging out in this space.

I know I love redesigning my kids spaces as they grow and mature, but killing the budget to do so is just not an option. This entire design board (plus bed!) is just over $700.00! You can’t go wrong with that price right?



Pom Pom Pillow: $29.00
Side Chair: $89.00
Be Pillow: $44.00
Locust Rug$149.00
Desk: $109.00
Pouf: $35.00
Print: $24.00
Sconce: $34.00
Bed (not pictured): $169.00
Duvet: $29.00


Total: $711.00

Oh and this space would easily transform into a boys room too. In fact, that rug is offered in black and white as well!

The Perfect Affordable Desk.

A couple weeks ago when we first arrived to California I headed to Ikea and bought the least expensive desk I could find. It was $20.00 and served its purpose but was not the look I was going for.  It also did not have a drawer, which is a big problem for me.
I spent way too much time than I would like to admit at Ikea trying to make one of their desk options work, but ultimately I just didn’t love any of them.
Last week I came across this white Threshold desk from Target. It is only $109.00, is white, has a drawer, and I just love the simplicity.
As always, I surfed the internet looking to see if someone else has used this desk, and of course they did, because it is a great looking desk for a great price.
Closet Full of Nothing shared these photos of her white threshold desk a few months back.
Of course styled beautifully too.

You really can’t beat the price or look of this desk.
To me, it is the perfect affordable desk.
Here are a few more of my favorite affordable finds…

So what do you think?

New Land Of Nod Must Haves!

Have you had a chance to check out the new items at Land of Nod?
Not only have they introduced a campaigner style dresser, nightstand, and desk to their line, they also have really stepped up their styling game! 
The inspiration pictures are just jaw dropping.

I know this is a children’s store, but I can’t help but use their products in adult spaces too! Like that desk…I kinda need it for myself.
A little round-up of all my favorite new products….

Well done Land of Nod
I love.

Rug Vote!



Ok, I have been obsessing over this rug situation for far too long now.
The nice thing about designing a space for myself is that I can change my mind regularly…which I tend to do often.
I do know that I want a layered look and the larger (bottom) rug will be a natural fiber, like jute or something similar. Since purchasing 2 rugs is not-so-much in the budget, I am doing my best to add a few affordable options in the mix.
I have been pondering ahese 6 lately….


1. Passages Rug (3×5 – too small, maybe for the entry?): $136.00
3. Magical Thinking Rug (5×8): $89.00
4. Tile Wool Rug: (5×8) $349.00
5. Locust Rug: (5×7): $149.00
6. Magical Thinking Striped Rug (4×6): $109.00
I think I can get away with the second rug being smaller. Just big enough to add that pop of color and pattern.
I have a few ideas of what I want to happen in this space. . I would love to get my hands on some ethic textiles, a pop of color in the drapery, and some graphic and abstract art is a must.
I quickly threw together a design board, with each picture only representing a general look, not the necessarily the exact item.
Ok, shall we take a vote?

Does your head hurt yet?!
I would love to hear your opinions!
