I'm showing this to my 11 year old. He's due for a room update and this might fit the bill. Plus, even though it's a 'theme', it looks nice and would last him for quite some time since it's not too juvenile.

My "office" is a corner of the living room, configured much like the photo above. It's not ideal but it works for me. I just try to schedule conference calls when my kids are in school so it doesn't sound like I live with a herd of elephants.

My 14 year-old daughter has this in her bedroom and uses it for all of her makeup, hair accessories, etc. The color is very pretty and the quality is good. It is a great piece and, as marinkaetzel noted above, very versatile. It could work in any room of your home, that's for sure.

I, personally, wouldn't paint it but it's not mine to live with. If you're on the fence about this particular piece, maybe find a cheaper, crappier nightstand at a thrift shop or on Craigslist, and do a practice run first. I'm not the best furniture painter by any stretch of the imagination but I've gotten better by practicing on some things that didn't matter.

This is a great house! I especially love the use of plywood throughout. It can be such a beautiful and economical building material.
