Sarah is making some sleep shorts in Aqua Bliss at school. I made a couple of matching mats to put on her bedside table and drawers.
We even found some red and white lanterns at Typo, our new favourite store that has recently opened in WA. I love the Eiffel Tower mirror that we found in Sportsgirl.
I gave Sarah the jewellery tree for Christmas and it is perfect for storing/displaying her long necklaces. It is a "Paint your own Apple Tree" from Red Revival, we plan on painting it white in the not too distant future.
Sarah has organised her desk with lots of red and blue accessories. She was fortunate to receive a Mac Book last week at school as part of the Government's Laptop Program for high school students. She customised her cover with red and white polka dots.
This afternoon Sarah has made up a batch of cupcakes with a chocolate ganache - I am looking forward to having one for afternoon tea.
I photographed the cupcake using my new portable light box that my husband bought me for Christmas. It is so quick to set up near a corner window for great macro shots.

Sarah will only come out of her room to cook now and who can blame her it looks lovely.
oh such a gorgeous room!! I love red and white polka dots!
Love Typo too :)
Your daughter's room looks lovely - she'll never want to leave! The Eiffel Tower mirror is great and I love the cute little notepad. The light box is fantastic- I always think the Australian light is too harsh!
I love a co-ordined room especially for young/teen people. It allows for their personal expressions (ie. mess) without driving you nutty. You have the perfect colours going on here too. Cherrie
That is a very nice room for a teen! I love the quilt and the Eiffeltower mirror and the jewelry tree...
My little girl is turning six this year and we plan on doing a makeover in her room, too, because she will need a desk to do her homework at and some other "big girl" things instead of her little play table ...
I just decided to make her a new quilt also, because she is outgrowing her bed quilt that I gave her for her third birthday ..
Oh my, she is growing so fast.

It has all come together so beautifully ;) Off to find Typo VERY SOON.
Girls after my own heart you are - have always had a soft spot for the red and blue bizzo!
Every little detail is so sweet. I'd never want to leave that room.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your color combinations. I have aqua and red in my livingroom and kitchen. I LOVE the red and white polka dots and have been adding polka dotted accents to my kitchen. My MOm thinks I am nuts but they are sooo fun!
Great room!
Sarah's room looks fabulous! I LOVE that quilt -- Love, Love, Love it. And all the fun touches from your trips are just perfect!
oh the japanese doll prints - where di you get those. they look lovely and suit the room so well.
I'm loving Sara's new room! Makes me wish I had such fabulous decor when I was a teen. I especially love how the mat for the bedside table coordinates so perfectly with her beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing!
love, love amping up linens to embellish a room. Sarah is indeed a lucky girl!
Sarah's room looks amazing as do those cupcakes! Yum!
That room is so fantastic - I know plenty of grown-up girls who wouldn't mind such a room either! And nice to see the laptop scheme actually at work.
Sarah's bedroom is so perfect for a young teenager, and all the love you've poured into each item is obvious, Lisa!
Love that Eiffel Tower!!
Hugs

Sarah's room is gorgeous! Love the red and aqua theme.
That lightbox is really cute- the shot is really nice :-)

Love the make over. Did Sarah enjoy the book Gemma and I are Picoult fans. I have just ordered a light tent thanks for the inspiration.
Just found your blog today by way of Craft Gossip. I LOve a lot of your ideas! This room makeover is awesome. You could certainly come and makeover any room in my home. LOL
Can I ask where you got the portable lightbox? Thanks so much!
It looks very pretty. I'm sure Sarah loved it. Those little geisha are also adorable. I wish I can come up with something amazing as this when I decorate my daughter's bedroom.
