One more pink room for Jenna. Actually, I think this one's perfect for a 16 year old girl. Fun, fresh and mature. I'm in love with the pink hide rug. Enjoy! (Image via micasa)

Charmed
There was this movie once, can't remember the name, but the girl had a bracelet with a golden numbered tag. I've wanted one ever since and this bracelet from t8designs is a pretty close fit. Enjoy!
Jonathan Straley Designs
There are so many things I love about this space designed by Jonathan Straley. For starters, the room divider/storage cabinet made from the same material as the floors (which appears to be lacquered plywood). Lovely. I also love the green chandelier. It's so unexpected. And perhaps my favorite, the large pool photo. What a great way to bring the dazzling reflectivity of water into a room, life size. Wow. Enjoy!

from etsy seller drawflowers. A bit pricey at $160.00, but when you look at the apparent quality and compare it to the prices of the mass produced ones, this seemingly limited edition one appears well worth it if it fits your decor.

Reader Q & A - for Jenna
Jenna is a junior in high school and wants to redecorate her bedroom. She writes:
This Summer I am planning on redecorating my room! I really want to use pink, but I want my room to look sophisticated and not too little-kid-ish because I am a junior in High School. Also, my room is really small so I don't think that I should use a shade that is too dark. Do you have any pictures of pink rooms that I could use for inspiration because I'm feeling pretty lost!!
Jenna,
First of all, I say go with whatever shade of pink tickles your fancy. If it's a darker shade, no worries, just paint the focal wall pink and the other three white.
As to inspiration, I browsed the web and chose my favorites.
First up is an image I chose from Anna over at Absolutely Beautiful Things. It's short of a shabby chic eclectic look. 
The next comes from Terramia via At Home With Color. It has sort of a modern boheme look going on. I can see a hot pink focal wall with a blue bed frame, white comforter and a striped saltillo blanket across the foot. You could remove the fringe from the blanket and replace it with colored beaded trim. 
Third is this image, also from Terramia, via Canadian House and Home. It's brown and chocolate and all grown-up. I would pull bits and pieces from this room. Perhaps a brown focal wall with a pink bed frame and creamy white bedding. An affordable and glamorous small sized chandelier would be awesome, especially painted pink with clear prisms. You could probably find one at your local flea market. 
I hope this helps Jenna. Feel free to add your own advice for Jenna in the comments below.
Red Done Right
Fabric is Vesubio from Les Creations de la maison. I also enjoy the empty frames. I'm thinking of making an arrangement on my own empty wall. Enjoy!

Headboard Idea
This is a great idea for a twin headboard via Micasa. A tufted cushion with tabs for hanging from a rod over the bed. The possibilities are endless with this clever idea. I really like the look, the practicality and versatility. I want one now. Considering making husband get Ward and June beds. :) Enjoy! 
Bar Code Chandelier
from the design team of Antonia Pesenti and Tanguy Le Moing otherwise known as Mobilet. I rather like it.
