Day 3 & 4 Recap: It's finished!

I can't believe it!

Stephanie's room is finished. We finished early!

So here's how the rest of the room went down....btw, I apologize for the quality of pictures. I unfortunately forgot my real camera, so my phone's camera is all we had.

Day 3 was NOT successful. I went to IKEA (aka: The 8th wonder of the world) and found NOTHING. I was so bummed. It just was not my day.

Day 4 proved to be much more successful.

I can't wait to break this budget down for you, you are going to be amazed.


This lamp began all my inspiration for the accessories for the room:

I know...I Love it to. And SO did Stephanie, that's what was important. It was a splurge for our budget...$40, but we made up for it elsewhere.

Like here:

That's Cindy's husband, Mike. He was so great to do all our spray painting for us! Thanks Mike!

Ok...so are you ready? Let's start with before:

AND after!:

So...what do you think? There are still a few touches that need to happen, like baskets put back into the cubs and a small chair for that table, but we'll talk about that in a second.

Ready to break this budget down now...because that's what it's all about...right? [smile]

Let's start with the most expensive area in the room:

Chairs (the BIGGEST splurge in the room): $300 ish (From Tuesday Morning)
Table: FREE (we shopped Steph's foyer, which she planned on getting rid of this anyway)
Curtains: $50 (A little more than I had hoped for but they are lined-silk panels so it was a deal!) (Also from Tuesday Morning)
Rod: $19
Lamp: $40

Pillows: $5/each $10
Accessories: FREE

Total: $419 (Wow...like the whole budget. But wait!)

Area 2 (this is the kids coloring table, we still need to find a small chair for right here but that can come later)

Table: $10! (Consignment store) Yes, $10, that was a steal too! It's super cute too, I wish I had a closer picture of it, it's got a farm-style finish on it.
Lamp: $10 (Family Dollar...yes, they have GREAT stuff there)
Crayon holder: $1.00 (Salvation Army- 1/2 price day!)

And the only other thing we bought for the room was the rug: $37
