This wall effect would be best done by a faux finisher with great experience. It's not easy to get this old, crusty appearance! For a teenage girl, I think this is a lot of visual noise, but if she's into the romantics and can keep the rest of her room soft and casually neat, this could be sweet. You just wouldn't want to go to all this trouble and then cover it up with posters.
