pbteen a-frame deskI can’t say that I often open up the pages of the PB Teen catalog. Considering I don’t even have any teens in my house yet, I’m not sure why it even comes, but it does, and the most recent cover caught my eye. Could that sleek gold and white lacquer A-Frame Desk really be from PB Teen? Indeed it is, and there were quite a few other pieces that surprisingly had me continuing to turn the pages. There’s no doubt that sometimes turning to kids catalogs will yield the look you want at a much lower price point, but that tends to work better when you are going for shabby chic and not glam. Not in this case! Apparently PB Teen is working with fashion stylists Emily Current and Meritt Elliot to create a new look, and it’s working. Here are a few of my favorites, and while they may not all be appropriate in an adult space, some of them could certainly pull double duty and all would make for a really fabulous girls room.

pb teen maison canopy bedI don’t typically love a canopy bed, but this Maison Canopy Bed is pretty appealing and comes in twin, full, and queen.

pb teen scallop gold leaf mirrorI’m also really loving the coordinating Scallop Gold Leaf Mirror and the matching Scallop Pin Board would take any office space up a notch.

pb teen nailhead shelvesThe Nailhead Shelves are also fabulous, although putting a sewing machine on top of them doesn’t exactly do them justice.

So if you’re in a rut in your search for a stylish piece at a decent price point, consider adding PB Teen to your list of sources!
