I’m transforming my daughter’s tween bedroom into a custom built-in space using affordable IKEA furniture hacks. These IKEA pieces helped me create a functional and stylish teen bedroom with a window bench seat, built-in storage, bookshelf cabinetry, and a custom get-ready desk area that will grow with her for years. I love using IKEA furniture for DIY projects because it gives the look of high-end custom built-ins while staying budget friendly. Perfect for small bedrooms, tween or teen room makeovers, and anyone wanting more storage and organization without a full renovation. Shop the IKEA pieces I used to create this custom bedroom built-in wall and follow along as I continue the makeover. LTKHome LTKmomlife

My daughter’s bedroom makeover is officially one of my favorites 🥹
The star of the room is the Penelope Botanical wallpaper from Spoonflower. It adds the perfect mix of soft, playful, and timeless. I paired it with a Retique dresser makeover to bring in warmth and character without losing that sweet girl feel.

Every detail in this room was chosen to grow with her and still feel cozy right now. Paint colors, wallpaper, dresser, decor, and finishing touches are all linked and shoppable on my LTK.

Moms… tell me I’m not the only one who struggles to get kids out of bed in the morning. 😅

This sunrise alarm clock from @blonbar makes mornings way less chaotic. Instead of a loud alarm, the light slowly brightens like a sunrise to gently wake them up. It also plays natural sounds, has dual alarms, adjustable brightness, and doubles as a nightlight.

But the part my daughter thinks is the coolest? The moonlight and shooting stars at night. 🌙✨

It’s one of those little things that actually helps create a calmer bedtime and morning routine.

My girls are huge Lego fans and I was so tired of their builds being spread out all over the floor. But every Lego table I found online was designed for toddlers… nothing that actually worked for older kids who want room to create. So I finally did something I’ve never done before… I built them a table.

There were definitely challenges. It is not perfect. And I learned a whole lot along the way. But this Lego table turned out absolutely perfect for them. I added storage shelves sized exactly for our clear bins, neutral Lego mats, open build zones, beadboard paneling, chunky little legs, and a pretty coat of green paint to make it feel like part of our home instead of a toy.

Seeing the girls already creating on it makes every second worth it. And yes, the wallpaper is next. Stay following because this playroom is about to look so cute.

Mamas, this is your sign to stop hiding your kids’ artwork.
Those bins full of drawings hold so much meaning and deserve to be seen.

I turned years of kids’ artwork into a layered kids artwork collage on canvas using Mod Podge. I started with larger pieces, added smaller cutouts, finished it with playful acrylic marker details, framed it, and hung it as sentimental home decor.

Kids artwork captures a season of motherhood that goes by too fast. Creating children’s heirloom artwork like this is a beautiful way to preserve kids artwork and turn memories into art you can enjoy every day.

Save this kids artwork idea if you’re a mama who keeps everything. 💛

We are officially OBSESSED with this wiggle car.
The music is actually really cool, it lights up, has a real headlight, and it charges quickly. Battery lasts up to two hours which is huge for active kids.

It is not fast at all so I am not worried about spills, but it is also not slow. My kids love gliding around the house and spinning out like they are at a mini race track.

This has been on repeat every single day and is such a fun indoor ride on for kids. Linking the exact one we have here.#LTKGiftGuide

I updated the return air vent in our foyer because the original builder vent was dusty, basic, and distracting. Quick note since I get asked every time: our air filters are located at the HVAC unit, not behind the return vents. This was a simple, budget-friendly update that made a big visual difference. All sources are linked here.

I turned my builder-grade laundry room into a high-end custom look using ClickReady cabinets from Home Depot and yes, they literally click together! These cabinets were so easy to assemble and gave me the built-in look I wanted without the custom price tag.
