Room Decor for the "I Just Got Boobies!" Crowd - a list by tatorandtots

Options for This Page

About this list:

My 10-Going-On-30 year-old daughter is due for a room makeover. Something that will be her refuge in the angst-filled "GO TO YOUR ROOM" years ahead of us and hopefully be cool enough that she'll want to hang out there with her friends and thus stay away from alleys and crack cocaine. Fingers crossed. Anyway, this list has some of the stuff that will end up in that hormonally charged haven.

Qualifications:

I'm a recovering teenager from hell. Its a day at a time.

Set Of 6 Stencils

3 people recommended this item

Description

Perfect for not just my daughter's rock star room redo but also for dressing up some boring areas around the casa.

Throwing a party? Consider using stencils- not just for decor but as an activity. Cover an old table in a plastic tablecloth and scatter stencils, paper, art supplies- even inexpensive white tshirts- that your guests can have a go at. Entertaining and serves as a kickass party favor to boot.

Tallulah Patchwork Chair - Prismatic

First to recommend

Description

from Urban Outfitters:

"A comfy curvy delight, our Tallulah chair is welcoming and whimsical in all the right ways. Informed by mid-century designs, Tallulah effortlessly perches the organic form of a cushioned seat and back atop a quartet of iconic tapered wooden legs. Kiln-dried hardwood frame, with high-density foam cushions wrapped in hand-woven Indian fabrics. Each Tallulah Chair is unique, with the natural variations in pattern and placement expected from hand-crafted patchwork (but don't worry, we've carefully selected chairs similar in overall color). Curl up with great design!"

Rainbow Candelabra

Description

First off, this is a great and inexpensive decor item for your parties. Pop one on your bar table outside at your summer party and boom. Gorgeous.

Then there's the teen crowd...
I have two daughters under ten and a decade of Bad Karma monkeys waiting in a closet to spring out at me when they're teenagers. The phrase "Wait until you have a daughter this age" was a favorite of my mother's back in my So. California 3-inch-high AquaNet claw bangs high school years, followed by under-her-breath mumblings that suggested Gaelic curses and spells. And sometimes, by a clap of thunder.

Thus I am preparing. Aesthetically anyway. I've decided to take the looming Drama Queens decade I'm on the verge of and have a bit of fun with it. Perhaps Clapper-controlled mood lighting that will darken a room and shine a spotlight on their angst-filled soliloquies about how THEY WILL JUST DIE if I don't let them pierce a body part usually kept out of the sun due to sensitivity issues or that I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING because, like Mork, a giant flying egg just dropped me on the planet and I missed the whole 'growing up' thing that they are handling with such inelegance.

I'm also looking into the holographic thing that Princess Leia and R2D2 had going on.... Because how could you not smirk if a 10-inch high version of Air Supply could be summoned to break into the chorus of "All Out of Love" with impeccable timing next to your teenager who is doing that half shriek/half crying-so-hard-she-makes-huge-gasps-for-air thing as she describes how not letting her go out with her boyfriend on a school night is basically "the meanest thing EVER. EVER!!"

As with everything, it's all "in the details." Which is where this candelabra comes in. I don't know the details of what scenes it will be in as I dive and roll through the artillery directed at me in the years ahead but I know it will fit in. I just know it.

My Mash Game

First to recommend

Description

Oh my gosh, I spent countless hours playing MASH at recess. And am currently considering bring the concept back as an adult in problem solving situations. If I crank out MASH at a board meeting, I'll be sure to update you on how it was received.

Until then, I'm getting this for my daughter.

Product Description
My Mash Destiny Diary Game includes everything girls need for future-finding fun! Girls can predict their futures with this classic game that has been played for years, but re-invented for today's girls.

Girls can predict their futures with their friends anywhere - at a slumber party, in the car, and even over the phone. The Mash girl writes down four words in each of the nine chosen categories, then creates the spiral zone number, and crosses words off using the spiral zone number. The last word remaining in each category is part of the future. For example: Brittney will live in an apartment, marry Brad, have 362 pairs of shoes, go to Harvard, and Megan will be her best friend. The game includes the diary, 30 cards, pen, mini eraser, and spiral zone.
