I finally have one room "finished" in this house! To me, "finished" means that the room is at a point where I can live with it for quite awhile. Katy's room was probably the easiest room to decorate. I was basically starting from scratch in her room since I completely changed the color scheme. Her old nursery was pink and brown (as you can tell by her sheets - I'm not buying new sheets until she's in a twin bed!) and this room is purple, green and blue.
Before:
After:
Quite a change! The white curtains were the last thing I bought and really look good. I'm happy with how it turned out!
*I just remembered that we have to put outlet and vent covers on yet. Ooops. That's a job for Curtis. Mostly because I don't know where they are.
In my opinion, her room was done pretty cheaply, especially since I really had no ideas beyond the wall colors!
Budget Breakdown:
2 gallons and 1 quart of paint from Ace: $40
Wall letters 50% off at Hobby Lobby: $6 (painted with the quart of paint)
Flower stick-ons from Bed Bath & Beyond: $20
Mirror from garage sale: $1.50 (painted with the quart of paint)
Picture frame: free from Mom's basement
Clock from Home Depot: $10
Lamp from Target: $16
Tissue paper ball: $1ish for the paper?
Curtains from Walmart: $17
Furniture: my bedroom set from when I was at home
Crib: borrowed from my brother-in-law
Of course, we put in new carpet throughout the whole house, but I don't know the room-by-room breakdown!
So, for $111.50, Katy's room sure looks a whole lot better than it did when we bought the house! Love it!
