She can always Hello Kitty it up a bit (or whatever her thing is) - and then she'll be able to de-HelloKitty in a couple years when she's putting up a poster of whoever the current teen heart-throb will be. You're giving her great options for a solid, consistent platform that she'll be able to shift and tweak to her tastes for years.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619851518284122362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257436915472985599.post-80220734559781016562011-02-04T15:29:02.887-05:002011-02-04T15:29:02.887-05:00Great options!

I made the mistake of decorating my room at this age in a very little girl way then had to suffer with it into my teens. You are definitely heading in the right direction.Aimee@ the Functional Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181784668734041721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257436915472985599.post-52428484180347412262011-02-04T13:22:42.828-05:002011-02-04T13:22:42.828-05:00I love all three of them!

And most 10 year olds are much more mature than adults may think - by then they are happy to ditch the juvenile stuff and have something more in keeping with a teenager. Plus this won't age quickly and need to be redone right away as she gets older. :)lisaroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201063720578870254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257436915472985599.post-66924326950997380032011-02-04T12:02:39.597-05:002011-02-04T12:02:39.597-05:00They're great.

She can personalize with photos on an upholstered bulletin board, or simply her own fave collectibles on a shelf. Everyone will still know a kid lives there! Trust me! ...not that you asked, but 1 is my fave for a 10 yr old, followed by 3.

They're perfect. At that age, you want to create something that will grow with the child and 10 years old goes to 12 and 14 really fast. I think option #1 is my fave followed closely by #3.

Especially #3.<br /><br />Thing is she's going to be a teenager in the blink of an eye and she'll want something a touch more sophisticated. <br /><br />If she didn't she could just go get Dora the Explorer sheets at Walmart.The Townhouseladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585145114316931037noreply@blogger.com
