~an antique door in Savannah's room~

When we added on Savannah's bedroom to our house 10 years ago, one of the things I wanted to use was an antique door as her closet.

Over the years I have painted it many colors including pale pink, cream, and most recently, white.

But when I gave her room a little makeover this last time, I decided I wanted it to be bare wood.

I didn't use any messy paint strippers, I just sanded, sanded, and sanded some more.

I almost forgot to take a before picture.

I was going to use a liming wax over the top of it but decided to leave it as is and I think I love it this way. Which way do you prefer it?

Painted or raw wood?

~a teen room makeover for Savannah~

In 2010 we gave our daughter a makeover on her room while she was away at camp.

You can see that post here.

But over the last 4 years, her tastes have changed and it was time for a update.

My driving force for the makeover, was that Cottages and Bungalows Magazine was coming out for a photo shoot. So over the course of 2 weeks I transformed her room into something that we both love.

{warning~lots of photos coming,

sources will be listed at the bottom of this post}

Here is the entrance to her room.

The main change here is the paint color on the walls.

I stripped all the paint off her antique closet door and left it as is.

I also painted her bed black and added the top pieces using 1x2's

I am also in love with her new bedding and pillows!

I added new sconces and a new chandelier as well.

The DIY for the zebra rug can be found here.
