I have completed what I can for now on my room. There are a few more things to do but I will have to wait. I want to get an Armoire for our clothes and get rid of the dresser. The dresser takes up way too much floor space. We need to go vertical with the Armoire and have more floor space. I also want to paint the mirror black and frame some Paris photos, get another nightstand for my side of the bed, and an area rug. Most of those are wants that will have to wait.
(you can click on the photos to make them larger.)
It took me a while to find a pillow that matched that I liked. Many stores were visited but I finally found the blue pillow at Pier 1 on clearance. It was a little pricey at $19.98 on clearance but it was the last thing to buy and it was exactly what I wanted so I got it. I love the beads.
Here's a run down of the costs:
nightstand- $10
lamp- $10
lamp- $2
candles-$3.50
candle holders- $1
sea shells-$3
curtains- $3
vase- $1
mirror- $20
chair- $7
black pillows- $20
blue pillow- $20
comforter- $37 (clearance + 20% off)
throw- $23
sheets- $10
paint $15
Total $194.50

Great Job, Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI love how your room turned out. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the transformation, it doesn't look like the same space.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what was so attractive about the wood paneling that everybody had to do it. It's fine for a Swiss cabin, urban dwelling? Not so much.
beautiful! i have paneling on the wall behind my bed and have been planning on painting it robin's egg blue. i really like your color. what is it called?
ReplyDeleteThe paint color is Bridgewater by Color Place (Wal-Mart paint). It is a blue gray color. I know some people don't like Wal-Mart paint but I have painted my whole house inside and out with it and it works great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the wonderful comments. I feel so blessed.
