Preppy Style Inspo (Home & Gifts)

Preppy and pink has taken over 2023 style in a big way (But really, has either ever been out of style?!). Whether we can thank the reemergence of ‘90’s fashion, or all things Barbie Movie, preppy style has taken over!

Yeti just released the Power Pink line. Pinterest is filled with pink bedecked rooms. And teen boys everywhere are channeling their inner Zach Morris complete with preppy swimsuits turned shorts down the school halls.

Our tweens and teens have totally hopped on board this trend, and one is very into making lists of things she loves for ideas, and came up with these two inspo boards.

We love seeing these trends through our kids eyes (and are simultaneously impressed that we’d actually live in a room they virtually decorated).

We can’t wait to see what trend emerges next amongst our younger Magnolias.

And share with them how we wore it first. 😆

Girls Bedroom Refresh

Some of you might remember that last month I shared my oldest daughter's bedroom makeover. That included her getting a new bed so we decided to move her old bed into my Blodie's room. She'd had a daybed since the was 2 and was excited about switching up things a bit. We didn't do a full make-over, but just a little refresh. It feels new to her and she's happy with it, so I'm happy with it!

I took both girls to Board and Brush with my sweet friend and they made new signs for their rooms. I was so impressed with their creations and they loved personalizing signs to coordinate with their new rooms.

We picked up a few other new accessories to spruce up her space. Most everything came from Tuesday Morning and Hobby Lobby.

Putting it all together was pretty quick and totally changed the look of her room! She was most excited about having a big bed to sleep in.

For her birthday we gave her a bungee chair. Apparently these are all the rage with kiddos these days and she as so excited. My other two sneak in her room just to sit in it!

From the time she could walk we called her our little tornado. It's like a path of destruction anywhere she goes. She's full speed ahead, leaves her stuff everywhere and her room is usually a mess!

She's done a little bit better about keeping her room neat since the refresh though.

Her soccer trophies and medals were starting to take over so we decided to display them above her desk. I found these scalloped shelves at Michaels and just spray painted them white and attached little clear command hooks under to hang the medals on.

She's really happy with the refresh and I am, too. It was an easy transformation and gave her a space that felt new without putting to much money or effort into it! Now on to the next room project...

Tween Bedroom Makeover

A few weeks ago I shared that we were redoing my daughter's room and it's finally done! I've been so excited to put the finishing touches on it so I could share all the details!

Just to recap, she wanted her room to be peach/rose gold and teal/aqua. We found these color palettes as inspiration and went with it!

We had so much fun shopping for all the things. I found a lot the bedding, rug, pillows and frames at Tuesday Morning and then we checked out Hobby Lobby and got a lot of the other fun accessories there.

A few weeks ago I shared how we transformed a plain full length mirror into this pretty one with flowers for her room.

As for furniture we got her a new bed and dresser. She loved the upholstered look and so we decided on this bed from Pier One. It's so beautiful in person and I love the nail heads on it.

She also wanted one of these big knitted blankets so instead of buying one my amazingly talented friend, J, came over to help her make it herself!

The dresser is also from Pier One and it is really nicely made. We hung the monogrammed sign that she made at Board and Brush above it and I love that it is one of the first things you see when you walk in her room!

I kept her side table and desk because it was already painted the correct color and just used spray paint to paint the desk chair.

I found the sheets and bed skirt on Amazon and LOVE them both. I've never seen this kind of bed skirt and it was SO easy to put on. I did it by myself and didn't have to worry with lifting up the mattress. I will never use another type of bed skirt!

The sheets are from California Design Den and area also available on Amazon HERE. They are such a great value and are so soft. They are 100% cotton and remind me of expensive luxury hotel sheets. They are so nice!

She really wanted to have a lot of succulents and flowers in her room so we made sure to add those touches here and there.

I also love that she picked out some positive and motivational accessories. It totally goes along with her personality and drive!

I love the way her room turned out and more importantly she loves it. It feels like a more grown up space than what she had before, but still girly and really just so her!

Best of all it didn't take any major changes. Paint color stayed the same, curtains stayed the same and there were only a few furniture changes. It forced us to really clean out, organize, and purge though, which felt great!

I'm still putting a few finishing touches on her little sister's room, but will be sure to share that as soon as it's done!

Girls Bedroom Makeovers + DIY Flower Mirror

We're coming at you with two home decor posts in one week! Yesterday Jen shared about her kitchen remodel and today I'm talking bedrooms. My oldest decided a while back that for her birthday this year she wanted to redo her room. I was excited about this because it means I get to decorate a room! She has also recently declared that she thinks she wants to explore the world of interior design as a career so she has been really on board with helping plan her new room.

She had a lot of ideas swirling around in her head so the first thing I did was set her up on Pinterest to search, browse, and pin everything her heart desired. I always do this when I'm getting ready to do any space because I feel like it is a great way to collect all your ideas in one spot and it also helps with looking for trends in things that catch your eye.

She originally wanted to do blush pink and black with gold accents, but that would mean repainting her walls and that is something I really didn't want to do. So, we started talking about other color combos and she decided to go with aqua/teal and peach/rose gold. I love it! We found these two palette inspirations and went with it!

Because we are buying some new furniture for Big Sister, that means Little Sister gets her hand-me-downs. Which also means we kind of get to do a mini-bedroom refresh for her, too! Last week I took the girls to Board and Brush to make signs for their rooms.

They had so much fun loved it just as much as I did. Each of them picked something that is so very them and I was super impressed with how well their signs turned out.

I couldn't wait to come home and look at everything together. I'm pretty sure I jumped up and down when I saw how perfect it was all going to be.

While they were off school last week though I knew I wanted us to complete one little DIY project with Big Sis that she had found on Pinterest. She is all about plants right now. She wanted flowers, plants and succulents to be incorporated in her room and found a cute idea to dress up a plain full length mirror.

I'm pretty sure this mirror is one that was mine in college and was just as plain as it could be. First up we taped off the mirror part so we could paint it white.

Then she picked out two bouquets of artificial flowers that matched the colors she wanted it use in her room. We pulled off all of the flowers from the stems (Tip - the usually pop right off if you give them a little tug) and just had to snip a little of the extra plastic off to make them flat on the back.

Then I just used hot glue to attach them to the opposite corners of the mirror.

So easy and dressed it up so nicely! Here it is laying on her new bedspread (still waiting on her headboard to arrive), but I think the colors look so pretty!

For now I just have it sitting on the ledge of the baseboard in her room, but may use these Command velcro strips to hang it once I know where everything is going to go in the room.

I asked Little Sis if she wanted to do something similar to the full length mirror in her room and she gave me a quick, "no thanks" without even hesitating. Just made me laugh because those two couldn't be more different.

I have a few other projects happening for both of their rooms and can't wait to share the finished products as soon as it all comes together!
