Decor Revamps for Tween Girls

Decor Revamps for Tween Girls: Take things from plain to pretty awesome with chalky finish paint.

All of the sudden, my baby is a tween girl! Some of the decor I picked out for her when she was a toddler is all wrong now. Plus she’s got her own passions and her space should reflect what she’s into now.

DIY Striped Wall Art with Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint.

That’s why I transformed some of her outdated decor into something fun and very “her.”

DIY Striped Wall Art

Supplies: Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in Delicate, Everlasting and Treasure. I also used painter’s tape (I was going to use masking tape, but then decided painter’s tape was a better bet). I also used Soft Touch Varnish. I also got a wooden “M” from Michael’s. The piece I wanted to update was something I picked up at Pottery Barn kids many years ago.

DIY Striped Wall Art with Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint

Directions

1. Do 2-3 coats of Everlasting on wooden piece.

2. Stick painters tape on piece, lining them up evenly.

3. Remove every other piece of tape.

4. Brush on a coat of Delicate on the exposed stripes.

5. Remove the tape and let dry.

6. Add a coat of Soft Touch Varnish.

7. Paint the letter Treasure.

8. Use hot glue to attach the letter to the wood piece.

My daughter is really into music and signing. When I spied this cool lighted star at Michaels, I was excited to integrate it into a new space I have planned for her in her room.

But I wanted to give it a little color and sparkle first.

Want to see the whole kitten caboodle? I’ll be sharing more updates to my daughter’s space (using DecoArt paint) next month!

      I am slowly making Mia’s room less little girlish… it’s a fun challenge. Would love to see what you do in your daughters rooms too!

    I love how these projects turned out. I’d love to do something like this for my daughter’s room. Pinned for later. I love chalk paint.
