My son turned 14 last month and I finally had to come to terms with the fact he had grown out of his twin bed. He wanted a “cooler” room and I knew we could work with the bones of his room to make it feel totally new from the design he had since he was 7. His first request was a platform bed which was very different than the antique bed I had in mind. But, once we found this @softframedesigns bed, I knew I could make a platform style bed work. It’s cozy, stylish and soft and couldn’t have been easier to set up! I couldn’t resist their bolster pillow for added comfort and the perfect fit. The new queen size bed is 6” longer than his twin bed so we decided to reorient the room and make his gallery wall a focal point above the bed. He had been asking to move the huge lacquered desk out of his room - and I happily obliged and transitioned it to my craft table! We switched out some of his art by hanging a striking @ginajulian op art over his bed along with the @kayce_hughes_art that has a pop of red that I totally covet as an ode to his previous twin bed. I found the chinoiserie lamp from @shopuncommoncollector from her corner at @casabellamarketnc and it perfectly pulls all of the colors together. The side tables, draperies and wallpaper all stayed the same and I love how those elements easily transitioned from his little boy room to his teen room. It goes to show that if you buy what you love then you will always find a place for things! I’ll share details of his bedding soon - I am actually waiting for one more item - another request from him. I’ll share more pictures of the rest of his room soon - but for now let’s appreciate the perfectly made bed because we know it didn’t stay like that for long!
