Well, when I was a teen my room centered around my desk because I did a lot of things there, homework and I also was a writer, so that makes sense. Also the wall art that expressed my personality, pretty normal. Decorative touches that I liked. The only thing dramatically different that I see, is that the walls, other than the wall art, tend to be neutral colors. That could be due to rental conditions, or just the moms and dad's in this situation lowered the boom on outrageous wall coverings. I could not understand, when I was twelve, why my mom nixed so many of my bedroom "decorating" ideas. In the end I guess I wore her down, and we went with my aesthetic, which was WAY over the top. After I moved out, a couple of times friends visited me at my folks house and gave me no end of ribbing about my psychedelic bedroom! Especially since I became a very outdoorsy, crunchy person and my old bedroom screamed pop sugar! It had bright pink giant zinnia wallpaper, and purple shag carpeting and furniture painted bright white with purple, pink, orange, dark turquoise and lime green accents. It would be a "time capsule" bedroom for sure today, if it still existed. I do have a metal shelving unit in the garage with shelves painted all of my old color palette, if I ever wax too nostalgic about it. (Note: some MCM trends are better left in the past!) All of it was eventually changed, which required some work, but I guess for some, not that big of a deal. I inherited a teen bedroom in the first house I bought, which was painted with hyperlink blue trim (including the radiator which I had to repaint with two coats, ugh!) and blue splatter paint walls and red carpet. It looked like a Smurf had blown up in there! But the mom of the previous owners let the boys do the rooms themselves, so there ya go. It was a lot of work to change, but it was only paint, so I understood.

i believe the white is maybe as opposed to blue or black or the current gray? Whereas the gentleman who was interested in the pink was one of our punsters, seeking to play with us. I was told by someone older than us that pink for men was only for late 50s early 60s, only to us does it feel like forever. the gentleman in question has returned in several dimensions the name is mulder.

Lots of good ideas here already, but I don't think this one was mentioned, so I'll toss it on the pile. Desks that slide over a bed. Congratulations on your adoption! Friends of ours adopted an out of country sibling group of four this year, two of them teens. It's been an amazing journey! The kids have been such a wonderful addition to their family. It hasn't been without bumps, but it's been good. I wish you and your son the very best!
