From “Meh” to Magic: Dylan’s Dream Room Glow-Up with Pottery Barn Teen

If there’s one thing I’ve learned raising teens, it’s that their bedrooms are more than just places to sleep—they’re their sanctuaries, creative zones, and hangouts all rolled into one. So when my daughter Dylan told me she was ready to refresh her room, I knew we were about to witness a full-blown glow-up. And let me tell you—it did not disappoint.

This wasn’t just a new comforter and a couple of throw pillows. Oh no. Dylan (16 going on HGTV host) had a full vision board moment. She dreamed up a space that was not only gorgeous and totally her vibe, but also sustainable and mindful. And thanks to Pottery Barn Teen, her Pinterest board came to life!

A Bonding Moment—With a Bonus Bed Buddy

One of the sweetest parts of the process? Her dad rolled up his sleeves and helped build the bed—a true DIY bonding moment between father and daughter. Honestly, watching them laugh, measure (and re-measure), and celebrate the final screw was one of those core memory moments I’ll never forget.

And once the final pillow was fluffed, guess who claimed the bed as her own? Our Frenchie queen, Darla, of course. She’s now convinced this dreamy new bed was made just for her. I can’t really blame her. The whole room radiates chill, curated calm—a total upgrade just in time for Dylan’s 17th birthday.

Style Meets Sustainability

One of the things I loved most about this transformation was Dylan’s intentional approach. She chose eco-friendly pieces from Pottery Barn Teen that look good and do good. From ethically-sourced bedding to mindful materials, it was important to her (and me!) that this makeover wasn’t just stylish—it was sustainable, too.
