this video is kindly sponsored by hoto tools hello friends katie here
from salvaged by k scott and i am about to start salvaging my 12 year old son's bedroom
welcome or welcome back usually here on the channel you will find me making over
worn out outdated and abandoned pieces of furniture but a few weeks ago i salvaged
my nine-year-old son lincoln's bedroom and now it is time to work on big brother ryan's space
this makeover for ryan's room is going to be just as real as lincoln's room
we are not tearing out carpet or scraping the popcorn ceilings but we are doing some
reorganizing of the furniture layout and making this space just more functional and a little more
grown up for my almost teenager by reusing some of what he's already got along with a few new things
first things first we needed to clear out this mess so that we had room to work and
as we emptied things out of the space we went through and decided what could stay
what could be handed down what was ready for donation and what just needed to hit the trash
he has an ikea hemnes dresser that still has plenty of life in it and it works well for
clothing storage so we're going to be keeping this and just moving it into a different spot
the matching nightstand however is going to get replaced with a new bedside
desk and this little school desk and chair
are headed off to the garage as well to get flipped and passed along to someone new
these led strip lights are the bane of my existence as a mother right now
but once we got the walls wiped down
that damage was a really good opportunity for young ryan to practice his spackling skills
i decided to bring up the shop vac and my little surf prep sander so that we could sand all of
our patches smooth without creating too much dust and that ended up working out perfectly
then we got to work on prepping for paint
we are going very dark and very moody in here with bear's charcoal blue gray color called nightclub
i think painting a room in such a dark color can definitely be intimidating but in here it's
going to give ryan a pretty cool look that is both sophisticated and still a little bit fun
do
i ordered an upholstered headboard from amazon and we got to use our brand new hote 18 volt brushless
drill to assemble it hotu was kind enough to send us this drill as well as their cordless
screwdriver to try out this drill is so sleek and modern looking and just perfect for getting things
done around the house it has an intelligent chip so it stops when your screw is perfectly installed
it's so easy to change out the bits and change up the speed with its led smart screen
the cordless screwdriver comes in this sleek alloy storage case with 12 bits
an led light so you can see what you're doing even in tight dark spots
and it has a four stage rotary knob to adjust the torque both tools are cordless and their
lithium batteries charge with just a simple usb cord if you want to check out these tools or the
rest of hote's product lineup you can find a link in the description box and use code ks for 10 off
next it was time to assemble this new ikea desk that we picked up
there's not a ton of extra space in here so
this desk is going to sit beside his bed and do double duty as a nightstand and a workspace
do
we literally did not have an inch to spare here but now ryan's got a good surface to work on and
a spot to keep all of his cords and accessories organized and speaking of organization i also
grabbed two of these headboards while i was at ikea i installed the first one here above his desk
i decided to hang the second peg board on this empty wall
and now he's got a really fun way to display some of his extensive
nerf collection and i guess it kind of doubles as little boy decor i think the next time at ikea i
might grab one or two more of these all that's left to do in here are the finishing touches
like making up the bed adding in a chair at the desk and hanging up a piece of art
um
i really hope that you enjoyed this quick preteen room makeover and it gave you some
inspiration or ideas for your own space
