I am so excited to show you the room that I created for the $100 room makeover challenge-teen boy’s room.

My son is a huge Auburn fan, and his room has been decorated in his team colors since he was 8 years old.  He is getting his driver’s license next month so he needs an updated room.  Can I just stop and say that I can not wait for him to get his license.  I had him when I was forty and my daughter was 14 years old so I have been driving someone to school since 1990.  That’s 26 years straight!

This sleigh bed makeover with chalk mix and paint was a quick and easy way to update a bed, and it is gorgeous!

On to the room

First thing was to paint the room with the paint that we used to paint the entire interior of our house.  It is Revere Pewter from Benjamin Moore.  I found this sleigh bed at the thrift store 12 years ago, and it is still in great condition. Use the chalk paint and color of your choice.  The step by step photos and directions are included in this link. $100 Room Makeover Challenge

The white Ikea chest in his nursery was purchased when my son was a baby. You need some boards.  Cut the boards and glued the boards with wood glue onto the drawers.  I do not recommend doing this to a chest if you have small kids because it added weight to the drawers and could fall over very easily.  We know to only open one drawer at a time but I would add something that is not heavy next time.

I wanted to cool shelves for above the chest.  I had two pieces of wood that I brought home from renovating our lake house.  I painted them black but I needed something to hang them with that was different from anything that I had seen.  I took my husband to Lowes and he came up with using chains to hang the shelves.  You can see how we made and hung these shelves in this post.  I decorated the shelves with items he already had and a few things I took from other rooms in my home.

I wanted a tripod spotlight type lamp like I had seen at Dot & Bo and Restoration Hardware so I went to the thrift store in search of something to make one with.

This DIY floor lamp is so easy to make. All you need is an old telescope and a clamp lamp.

I found a telescope with the stand that looks exactly like the lamp I wanted.  I went searching for something to make a spotlight with.

I found this clamp lamp and all I did was clamp it on the tripod stand after I removed the telescope. You can see the post here.  The total lamp cost was $9.

I purchased the midcentury modern chest and night stand from the Thrift Store for $38 for both pieces, and they still had the old furniture tags attached.  I paid $10 for the letter “C'” on the wall.  I purchased the mirror for $15, and I brought the deer picture from our lake house to use in his room.

Cost of Supplies

Paint for Bed $3

Dresser and Nightstand $38

Tripod Lamp $9

Shelves $15

Mirror $15

Navy Pillows $3

Geometric Pillows $4 and $2

Total Room Makeover was $89

    He’s a lucky boy, his room looks so great! The bed is gorgeous now and I’ve loved that lamp since the first time I saw it show up Pinterest. You have mad skills for spending little money and getting big style. I think our local thrift stores pale in comparison to the stuff you’ve found. Great job mom!

    Sherry the room is a dream! I love all the details, the lamp of course, and the decor is perfect for a teenage boy! That Ikea dresser is so so beautiful, oh my and not to mention the bed! You did an amazing job, making this room so cozy and cool at the same time!

    Oh my goodness Sherry! Your son’s room turned out amazing! I have an old telescope similar to that one in my basement. Never sure what exactly to do with it but absolutely love the idea of turning it into a lamp. Might have to give it a try!

    P.S. I hear ya with the driving stuff. I have 4 kiddos over a twenty year span. Been driving kids to school since 1995 and have several more years to go. I might be a little too excited when my youngest finally gets her license. 🙂
