Tween Girls Room Makeover!

By 5 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

A few weeks ago, we redid the older girls rooms just a little, well, because they were getting older! They had the same bedding for about 8 years and no storage to speak of for all their little personal things. Plus the little kids were getting into their stuff all the time and it was “not cool.”

I had seen some great cubbies on Pottery Barn Kids site, mostly because I like to torture myself with how cute everything is but completely unaffordable. I had $200 for this project to give them a new room. I asked them to clean it up for you and take a picture and this is what I got above!

They had these sets of cubbies on sale for $132 + $20 shipping, at Pottery Barn Kids and I thought they would look cute with buckets. I needed 2 sets, so $300 just for the cubbies and no buckets.

I knew I could do better and so I ran to IKEA to take a look. I found the TROFAST set you see above for $49.99 each. That was still a lot because I needed 2, but I knew we would have them a long time. The buckets are $4 each, and you need 6 basically to fill it. All said, it was $150 for the cubbies and they were MUCH larger and 1/2 the price as PBK.

I also got the big girls a new duvet cover each. They were $19.99 for the cover and pillow case. I took their old comforter and used that as the duvet and stuffed it inside the new one so I didn’t have to buy a duvet. For $40, it looks like they got all new bedding! Then at the end we tossed in the area rug to match for $19.99 and I am really glad we did. It completed the entire room.

I can’t tell you the difference it made in their room to change the bedding, adding the rug, and the cubbies. It feels like a brand new room and they love it. If I would have known it could have been done for $200, I would have done ti a while ago as I had the money saved from all the stuff I sold on Craigslist this summer!

Also, if you have not eaten at IKEA before you are in for a treat. It is super affordable, the kids meals are $2.49 and this breakfast platter is $.99!!

PLUS, if your IKEA is a franchise, they will match the online price. Mine in Houston is and the cubbies were $59.99 in the store. They are $49.99 online and so they matched that price!

Where do you get kids room things from? Have you scored any deals anywhere?

Buy 4 Lunchables $2.49
Buy 2 Kraft Mayo $2.49
Buy 4 Kraft Dressing $1.49
Used 4 $1/1 Lunchables Lunch Combinations with Smoothie, exp. 10/14/12 (SS 08/19/12 R)

You can do any combo of Kraft products ( as long as you have 10 of them) to get the $10 back. I would suggest picking ones that are on the mega event and you have coupons for, since you have to buy 10 that way anyway. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
