I found this darling vintage chandelier for my daughter's room at a garage sale on Saturday. Yea, my first garage sale of the season. It just needed a little TLC and the addition of a few crystals. I brought home and she did not like it! She had something completely different in mind. She wanted something silver and modern. So here is the compromise. I took a brushed nickel chandelier and added glass plates from another chandelier that I had previously taken apart (after I broke the arm off of it) and I actually like the combination of the modern nickel with vintage parts.
Then, we had the dilemma of whether or not to add crystals. So, we tried three different styles and agreed on the first one. And, to my surprise she loved it. 
Then it was a trip to anthropologies for new knobs. Since we couldn't agree one knob we ending up getting a different knob for each drawer. Once again, it turned out pretty cute. Unfortunately, I just discovered that I did not post the pic of all the knobs. I will have to post it later. (Side note: I wish blogger would make an upgrade so that you could go back and add a pic in the middle of your post rather than having to re post the entire post - sorry for the digression)
Final decision, paint color and bed linens. Once again, we bought one I like and one she choose. The paint color is just two shades darker than the color I picked but hey, it work out too! I just my survive the tweens after all!!!
