Hello my friends.
I hope you all are having a lovely weekend. Today I would like to share with you the bedroom hubby and I recently re-did! I wanted a room for Katie and Addison to stay in when they came to visit. But since we had quite limited funds, we would have to be creative!
But first I would like to show you a before pic. The dark color is one that Katie had picked out while still in high school. I actually liked it but since Addison was going to be staying overnight sometimes, I wanted it more light and airy. When Katie moved out she took her bed with her, so I needed something quickly! I found the old headboard at a garage sale and painted it a Colonial yellow. I knew that I would have to work around that color as a new headboard was not in the budget.
And here's that same room now after our $106 makeover!
We painted the walls a color called Spa. It's a slightly aqua blue.
Then we purchased the wallpaper that looks like wainscoting. It's the first time we tried it and I am happy with the results!
Hubby put the wallpaper up and I cheered him on! hehe.
I did paint though.
The paint was $20 for one gallon and we just made it with that!
The wallpaper was $26 for 2 double rolls and again we just made it!
My talented hubby made the chair rail from scrap wood that he had so there was no cost to that.
I bought the quilt at Wal-Mart on clearance for only $20. I found the sham at Kohl's for only $12 and the bolster pillow was only $7 at TJ Maxx.
This is Katie's 20 year old crib. Not only did Katie sleep in it, but 4 of my sisters kids slept in it as well. Needless to say, it was in kind of rough shape. Dan did some repairs and we used 4 cans of glossy white spray paint to give it a new look! Total cost $16 for the paint.
The bedding is Pottery Barn that my sister found at a garage sale and gave to me to use.
The colors worked perfectly in here and best of all the bedding was free!
Katie bought me this little sign to hang above the crib! Sorry the pic is a bit blurry but I think you get the drift!
Over on this side of the room is Katie's old high school desk. It's kind of a catch all but I wanted to show you the shelf above it.
I found that large seashell platter marked down at Kohl's for only 3.50! Originally, it was $45.00!
And the apothecary jar was purchased at TJ Maxx for only $7.
A close look at the shelf.
A little nightstand that I bought years ago at a garage sale. The cute little tray stand was a gift from the lovely Gloria at Happy to Be!
So there you have it! Our room redo for under $110!
And here is the breakdown.
1 gallon of paint = $20
The color is Spa.
Wainscoting look wallpaper = 2 double rolls= $26.00
Paint for the crib. 4 cans of spray paint= $16.00
Quilt = $20 on sale at Wally World.
Sham, rolled pillow, plate and apothecary jar. = $30
For a grand total of $106.00!!
And the best part of all of this is the little girl that gets to visit her Grandma!
