Bedroom Work Space For Everyone

February 12, 2019

Some kids and adults are perfectly content with sitting in the family room or at the kitchen island to do work on their computer. However, in time, peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle is important for all of us. If you are looking for a suitable desk for your child or for yourself I have found two excellent choices to consider.  

Perfect Teen Bedroom Desk

My niece just turned 16 and for her birthday she asked for a desk for her new bedroom. I love decorating and helping organize so I knew I wanted to help with her new bedroom, so I started searching for her a desk that was perfect for her room. She gave me a few options of her favorites, and she decided on the Ameriwood Home Storage Desk .  

This compact desk is just the right size for her bedroom, but would also be perfect for a dorm room or apartment as well. The desk top can hold her computer, office supplies and notebooks comfortably. A slide out keyboard compartment and open and closed storage cubbies will keep your belongings organized and within easy reach. She added storage bins to the cubbies to match her room decor and also to give her even more storage space. 

She told me she finally has the bedroom of her dreams and the desk was the finishing touch. She loves it and now her bedroom is a space she feels proud of, and helps her prepare for what’s ahead. 

Master Bedroom/Office Combo

My master bedroom has been a work in progress. It’s a large space and I just couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with it. Finally it came to me. An office nook with a desk, that’s quiet, peaceful and most importantly all mine! 

Corners in a room can be awkward to fill and are often left empty and unused, I thought that it would be the perfect spot for an office nook. The Eastway L-Desk from Ameriwood Home is a great desk to be placed in a corner or even to free up floor space in the middle of the room. I knew this was the desk I needed for my master bedroom and the big empty corner that I had no idea how to decorate! With this corner desk, I can save on space and also have a beautiful and functional workplace in my bedroom.

The 2 shelves on the end of the desk are perfect for organizing or for displaying photos and decorations. The desk features 2 smaller drawers and a larger drawer that can hold all of my extra offices supplies and paper. The lower drawer can organize both legal and letter sized files.

Whether you work from home, have a child in school that needs a place for homework, or you’d like a spot that can double as a vanity as well as an office space, there’s so many benefits that come along with having a desk area in the bedroom. These two desks from Ameriwood Home are great choices to get started on transforming that empty space in your bedroom into a cozy office nook!

Middle School Bedroom Makeover: Before & After

June 26, 2018

I received our Ameriwood furniture for free, in exchange for my honest review. As always all opinions are my own. 

Starting middle school is a huge chapter for any “tween” girl. Mackenzie asked me to completely make over her room and I figured it was a perfect time to do it now that she has finished elementary school and entering 6th grade in two months.

First, let’s take a step back to what it looked like before. Very pink and white. Bunk beds and everything seemed very “little girlish” as Kenzie would say.

I knew the little girl look that the room was before had to go. I wanted something she appreciated now (at age 11) and all the way through high school. We wanted to give it a fresh, more mature vibe.

So without further ado, I can’t wait any longer to share!

Mackenzie has more of an opinion about her room now and her own individual style, it was time for a change. For her, a bedroom is a place that reflects her status as “not a baby anymore.” But a middle schooler has a different view of a bedroom than little girls, it’s beyond a place to sleep, it’s where she can escape from the world of demands and rules.

Kenzie has watched me makeover other rooms in our home and she always enjoyed the final results. She was so excited to help me with this and I was happy we could work together on this project. Our goal was to create a feminine look that would grow with her.

I realized fast that being girly doesn’t have to look like princess parties and Barbie doll houses. Being girly can be simple. Less is more.

To start off, we basically, scrapped the entire room and started from scratch, furnishings and all. So let’s start with that.

We picked out the Ameriwood Home Vintage White Dresser and Ameriwood Home Platform Bed in Vintage White. The lighter color furniture really brightened up the whole room.

Every middle schooler needs a desk to do her homework in peace and quiet, so we got a simple white parsons desk from Ameriwood Home to coordinate with the bed and dresser. Mackenzie bought the chair from her desk with her own birthday money from Amazon.com. I love the look of it, especially the gold legs!

She fell in love with this Serena Comforter Set from Lush Decor. This bedding is perfect for her room. It’s so fun and girly! I love it when one simple change totally freshens up a space! We based the color palate for the room off of the pink blush color of the bedding. Pink blush is her favorite color right now, so deciding on this bedding was super easy.

I found the cutest Gold Pineapple Sheets from Target that went along with the gold theme in the room.

One of her ‘must have items’ was the Gold BloChair from PoolCandy. She loves reading and she wanted a fun spot to sit in other than her bed. It’s actually really comfy and fits perfect in the corner beside her window! I have already caught her sitting in it on multiple occasions!

The lamp is another amazing Target find and it was the most perfect lamp for this room! The blush lamp shade is so soft and the gold base coordinate perfectly with the theme in the room.

On the walls, I used Sherwin Williams Repose Gray as the overall color. For the accent wall, we chose Devine Color by Valspar Paint in Pirouette from Target. The rest of her room has accents of pink blush, gray and gold.

One of my favorite accessories we added to the room was this Gold Round Shelf from Target. It is big enough to hold all of her Tsum Tsum’s plus some other things.

What little girl doesn’t love to hang up pictures of their friends? This wall was all Mackenzie’s idea and I think she did an amazing job! Her cousin gave her a Polaroid camera for her birthday and she hung up pictures of all her friends on this fun string of lights with clips to hang pictures or anything else you would want to hang up.

The most important thing is that my pickiest, most indecisive client, my daughter, LOVES her new room. What do you think about it?

Hi, I’m Jamie and I’m so happy you are here!

I started Boots Bows and Beaches a few years ago to share our craziness that is being married, working full time and of course being a mom of two teen girls.

Who knew I would learn so much and make such great friends while listening to country music and dealing with teenage hormones.
