Other than hanging curtains, the office has felt no love from us in the almost 8 years we've lived here. womp womp. I honestly don't know how Joe works here every day. We are more than ready to change that! Our goals for the space include

Genevieve's pretty, pink teen room is complete! I'm calling it "done," although there a few things left to do and I know I'll tweak it down the road. I've shared a lot about kid rooms (they're my favorite!)- how to have a room you both like, how this one has been a struggle, and tips on designing kids' spaces in general. And I love that this project pushed me, but I also think Genevieve will see it as a space that was pivotal in determining her own home style. Here are some things to look for:

I took a walk down memory lane and you know what the first dupe I shared was? It was a pair of Juicy Couture sweats (remember the velour sweats trend that tricked us into thinking we looked like J.Lo?) back in 2009. I shared my first West Elm Look for Less in 2011. I love finding a good deal but specifically, finding on-trend home items at a price that fits within my budget. Kirkland's Home has beautiful home finds at budget-friendly price points and they always have something new. You're not going to believe these Dupes! Keep reading to see a few look for less Crate & Barrel, Anthropologie, and Pottery Barn Dupes! Plus see the items I grabbed and how I styled them.

The last time you heard about Genevieve's room, it was about what was working and what wasn't. Well I'm happy to report that though the scale is still a bit off in her room, we made some adjustments and it's coming along! We had friends over the other night and my girlfriend gave me the best compliment- she  said it was such a fun teen room and such a blend of my style with Genevieve's. I almost teared up. ha! It hasn't been easy to balance what I want with what she wants with the actual function and space we have to work with. But we're nearing the end and I have to say, It makes me smile when I catch a glimpse of her room from mine and she seems happy! Ok, so what's left?
