Kids’ Room (& How Cheap Am I?)

Here’s the almost finished version of Ava & Luke’s room. I’m not too cracked up about the blinds on the windows, but they work. And, I’m proud to say that I quilted almost all of Ava’s blanket myself. . . It’s not the greatest work of art, but I’m getting a little better at it. Also, note ceiling bravely painted dark gray.

 

Just as a note to how cheap I am –

• The red on the book chair and on the top of the curtains comes from a chair cover I bought at the Economy Shop — $2.
• The black on the book chair — 50% off clearance — $2.
• The white part of the curtains — Target bedskirt bought at Dirt Cheap — $1.
• The black dresser in the closet — from Mom & Dad’s hideous trailer — FREE — painted with black paint I already had and wooden knobs sprayed with silver paint I already had.
• The ugly fan — FREE — from our study, ugly brass parts sprayed with same silver paint.

Ah, the joys of getting a good deal . . . and using up old junk . . .
