I love big reveals! It's the moment where my moodboards and ideas translate into reality and I have the photos to show. hahaha.. Welcome to the reveal of Teenage Dream! This might actually be MY Teenage Dream Bedroom. At least I've got to live it through this girl's space.
These are the moodboards. Neutral walls with burst of colors everywhere.
Now onto the Reveal!
AFTER
Welcome to my room! hahaha.. Fine, welcome to the Teenage Dream. :)
Everything is new except for the bed. We left the door as is since they are planning to replace all doors in their house, but it would be ideal to have it in white.
Portraits above the bed. To keep it young, they had a pop art looking portrait. I chose pink and purple for that to compliment the teal tables.
New lights -the very girly white chandelier, and the yellow lamps. I actually can't find any yellow lamps, so I, together with the BF, spray painted these lamps from SM dept store. I searched for the cheapest lamp with great silhouette.
I found these cute floral fabric and had them as accent pillows.
Black drawer pulls to match the bed.
The closet with mirrored doors.
AFTER
The main colors of the room is teal with yellow and pink accents. I wanted an unconventional tv stand so I had it painted in yellow.
They requested for a sofa bed to sleep more people if needed. Instead of using white (like in the moodboard), I ended up using black to pull from the bed color.
I love the curtains! The perfect dark teal with a very cute pattern. Also had that storage cabinet made.
I had two sets of curtains made. The teal one, and the other is in this hot pink fabric (throw pillow). When they switched to the pink curtains, the teal pattern will then be used for the throw pillow.
The gallery wall. I love it when client requested for one since its one of favorite wall treatment. Haha..
To break things up a bit, I made this custom art of the girl's name.
View from the door
We used flat molding to frame the cabinet, and had a smaller one frame the doors.
AFTER
I haven't found the perfect chair for now, so she's temporarily using a stool they had.
Vanity / work desk
Can't find a great white mirror (most of them are plain and doesn't have frame details) so I had one painted white. You don't have to be limited to what's available out there, paint goes a long way!
Decorative glass bottles
My favorite shot.
I'm super happy with how this room turned out. Aside from the fact that these colors are making me happy, I'm thrilled with the fact that it's a very close match with the moodboard I made. I'm lucky I found that curtain fabric!
There'll be a bathroom reveal as well. It's the complete opposite of this, clean white, and a bit mature, since bathroom tiles should be more timeless. But that's for another post. Until then, lets all live our teenage dream through this bedroom. Haha.. I'm sure I'm just speaking for myself.

Jclm, for the curtains and throw pillows, I bought the fabric from tutuban. I guess I can do that. :) Thanks for the tip!

This is absolutely fantastic Elle! I sense another Real Living feature coming up soon :)
I love how this room turned out. So beautiful for a teenager
This room is freakin cute!! I wish I could bring my parent's house over and have you make it prettyyyyyy (my parents are pretty plain and random with the decor...XD)
I so like this...
thanks everyone! :)
can you email me where exactly in tutuban? please? that's perfect for my room kasi e. please???? thank you. (jownnie_boink@yahoo.com)
I forgot the name of the store. But its at the ground floor, sa labas ang entrance nya. :)
ohh not the tutuban where escalator ang una before entrance no? sorry kulit ha sobrang bet ko lang lahat ng fabrics mo. thanks.:)
id like to congratulate you for the great job there!. id like to comment on something it could have been better if you add more fluffy pillows with interesting patterns that can go well with the curtain and on the comforter. the bed itself is your focal point. but overall you did a very nice job. keep it up! :)
I love the chandelier! Where did you get it? :)
Looove loove looove. Definitely a teenage dream come true! You're a very inspiring designer :)
Love your work! Especially like the blue bedside table/office desk, very cool! x
Thanks for dropping by. I'd love to hear what you think! :)
