Tween Room makeover: Black, White, and Purple



My daughter said NO MORE PINK. She is almost ten and wanted a TWEEN room.  This was the color palette my daughter chose. This was our FIRST step of the makeover.

Finished room PICS here (minus the drapes!):

















Paint color: Sherwin Wlliams HGTV at Lowe's Voilet Cache



My daughter says "no more pink"! I love her current Pink Beach room, but she's ready for a bedroom makeover. Here are a few inspiration pics we found on Pinterest--notice they all have a black and white theme:









AND NOW TIME TO SHOP!! ... and make our own custom bedroom...

I was fortunate--I found this great duvet cover and shams on clearance!!

Most tweens are opting for teal this season but we are going purple!  I found this throw pillow (JCPenney) and sheets (Macy's) at the mall.

To blend in the lighter and darker shades of purple, I ordered a monogrammed pillowcase from Etsy. 


Drawer knobs from Etsy (replaced top two knobs on chest):

Light switch plate and outlet covers also from Etsy:
To soften the room, I am going with white  ruffled drapes from Target:

Purple jewelry box from PBTeen:


Fabric storage bins that match her comforter:

And a great black and white bath towel with her name in a purple font:

Check out this super cute garbage can I found at Walmart!  It's black with white polka dots, with a silver rim!

Also from Walmart, a hook shelf to hang her towel and jewelry along with a picture frame.

I've been picking up accessories at a   variety of places, such as Old-Tyme Pottery and Marshall's!
