As Jennifer explains, "When I began this project, we were faced with the issue of combining two sisters into one room. Initially, there was only one girl in this room with a lot of heavy & dark built-in furniture. The challenge was providing more space for both girls to accomplish their school work as well as storage for all of their toys." <a href="http://www.agusinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Agus</a> used lacquer furniture, which is really durable for children, and softened the room with fun upholstery for the headboards and roman shades. She covered the ceiling with a lilac color that made the room look lighter and taller. With a dedicated color scheme and adjustments to the sizing and spacing of new bedroom furniture, <a href="http://www.agusinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Agus</a> was able to pull together a design that offered the most space for both of them while introducing a bright red, chocolate, hot pink and white color way – not your average color combination. The bottom image gives you a sense of the "before"... I can never lead with the "befores"...(should probably call them <i>afters and befores</i>).</span></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtl89YBOkXmUWn3AT7XSSp9mWt2Ijk5l2ey8UllUuyaVu04cfQkbYmwVQ3sXXBLO0TJ2q1u1NcsXgWbbRo5YsYAxfm9s-LThA-kQ7raUPq5Lsi0KX-Ide7hEHr8fJDiVQyINkHYIOTu-mt/s1600/-42.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtl89YBOkXmUWn3AT7XSSp9mWt2Ijk5l2ey8UllUuyaVu04cfQkbYmwVQ3sXXBLO0TJ2q1u1NcsXgWbbRo5YsYAxfm9s-LThA-kQ7raUPq5Lsi0KX-Ide7hEHr8fJDiVQyINkHYIOTu-mt/s1600/-42.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwfnvjfwBU210IrDX3EAhIOwnkFcUFLVJcVxeWfD4g7HdhLD3YLPmXSwt1uDP2WSejE38XX0vxW4UimaqNGJiB9EePTvRuq-tGcxh-ALfQqZoHFFlH4pT_WN9i6CFzS5M_B3RgwnVaouiV/s1600/-7.png" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfQJE-WQ-he6EqmOvlFl-OTu286y6-giTTFPD0s_e5KWl7pAl5QUFIpb6ehaarGXJdOdONR3wifA5LSHGkgFtLWX_RCKEAw4buH1ymGpK1aSwJ8stgf1ZvaJqTcupIVmTKNiWccE3Tr-3/s1600/-41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfQJE-WQ-he6EqmOvlFl-OTu286y6-giTTFPD0s_e5KWl7pAl5QUFIpb6ehaarGXJdOdONR3wifA5LSHGkgFtLWX_RCKEAw4buH1ymGpK1aSwJ8stgf1ZvaJqTcupIVmTKNiWccE3Tr-3/s1600/-41.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><br /></span></span></span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><br /></span></span></span></div></div>

As I start to plan her birthday party, I've been given some not-so-subtle reminders that "we need to start thinking about <i>her</i> bedroom re-do." If you're new here, when my oldest daughter turned eleven she was given <a href="http://thezhush.blogspot.com/2011/09/daughters-room-reveal.html" target="_blank">a room make-over</a>, turning her <a href="http://thezhush.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-be-tween.html" target="_blank">very young girl's room </a>into <a href="http://thezhush.blogspot.com/2011/09/daughters-room-reveal.html" target="_blank">a sophisticated pre-teen room</a>.  Apparently, this is now a right of passage in our home, and I've been reminded that it's time to look for the inspiration for her room's decor.  After scouring <a href="http://pinterest.com/sued/daughters-room/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and even creating <a href="http://pinterest.com/sued/daughters-room/" target="_blank">a board for this project</a>, I eventually turned to what should've been an obvious source...<a href="http://www.teenvogue.com/" target="_blank">Teen Vogue</a>!
