I guess she has grown up a little in the seven years since I first decorated it for her and Lil.
Good-bye, vines and hidden smiley flowers. 
Sweet pink and purple quilts were fitting for my five-year-old...but now, at almost 12, it's time to pass them on.

Keels said that everything needed to look 'cool' and 'teen-ager-y'...Must it really?

So, Happy early birthday, my dear girl. You're growing up and out of little girl things. I'm bracing myself for the coming of many more bittersweet milestones. :)
We have Pottery Barn taste, but a Wal-Mart budget! We copied some ideas from the PB Teen catalog, like the light walls and bright accents, but everything we bought came from Wal-Mart or Target. My favorite thing of all, the curtains, were $14.99 for the pair!

It looks really nice. Grown up girly, but sophisticated. Very chic. :) Want to come redecorate my house? I have no sense of style when it comes to decorating.
You did great! I love it!
It looks wonderful! Very nice :)
Looks great!!! I love it!
The re-do looks great! Yall did a great job!
We experienced the same thing with our daughter about 2 years ago. We had to paint over the pink walls with this bright purple color (and she even painted the inside of her closet lime green). We found a cute comforter set (at Wal-Mart, of course) with her chosen colors of purple, lime green and turquoise blue and added some fun teen-ager-y accents that we found at an outlet store as well as the Dollar Tree (of all places!). We even put a purple beaded curtain (a hand-me-down from a cousin) over some sheers on her window! Definitely looks like a teenager lives there now...
I certainly love watching my kiddos grow, but it does leave me feeling quite sappy sometimes!
