Teenage bedroom makeover & dressing table reveal.

This post is long overdue!!  Georgia's 14th birthday was over a month ago & I have only now gotten around to taking photos!! So, here goes.....




It's bright. It's cheerful. It's very Georgia because it also has a little boho thrown it.







A lot of things were handmade by me just for her. The fabric quote hanging above her bed that reads "Be honest. Be silly. Be kind" . She chose the quote & I love it! The macrame pot plant hanger was a surprise for her. The vintage crochet tablecloth that I used for a dreamcatcher was hand dyed using Tumeric for a lovely soft yellow colour. The clay arrow. All made by me just for her. 







Even little clay wall hangings that I made using her favourite purple colours. 




All of the other accessories were chosen by her to add a little fun & colour. 




But by far her favourite thing is the vintage dressing table that she found on gumtree. She picked this gorgeous Aqua colour & I think it suits it perfectly! She sits at it every day to do her hair and makeup. 




Even Miss Gracie gives it her seal of approval! 




There is plenty of room on the walls for her to fill with photos, quotes and little wall hangings. I can see that this room will grow with her. We are still on the lookout for a nice comfy reading chair and a gorgeous rug. But for now, the room is finished! 

Next is the eldest teens room which will have the complete opposite colour scheme!! 

From Jos with love. xx

Hang on tight & enjoy the ride!



So, I thought that my eldest turning 16 was a big deal. Don't get me wrong, it was a huge deal! But now I have realised that it is just the start. It was a week of stressful studying for the learners licence! Holy shit! She passed! So now that sweet little baby that I held in my arms just a meer 16 years ago, is now sitting behind the wheel of the family car. How? Why? What am I supposed to do with this? I will teach her, that's what I will do.
