Halla – loo – yer, hallalooyer! We’re wrapping this room up. Thanks for all of the suggestions and thoughts on the curtain post.

 

 

I really thought we would go with the blush from Target and I was dreading adding something to the bottom and I even tried ordering some blush ones from H&M Home that Jodi R recommended on Facebook but then they were out of stock so I took that as a sign. We put up the BH&G ones from Walmart and she loved them, I loved them, they were the right length so they stayed. Didn’t even iron them! May is such a crazy month with 3 boys in baseball, end of the year performances, concerts, recitals, parties and I honestly wanted to cry adding one more thing to my list -- so I didn’t.

 

 

I don’t think the pictures do them justice, and we needed some pattern in there.  The lamps used to be in our master bedroom in Virginia and we spray painted them gold. The black framed print is from Hobby Lobby (only $6!!) and the flowers are from a local place called Taipan.

 

 

The dresser was also in our master in VA but we gave it a new coat of white spray paint.

 

 

This was a fun way to display some of her favorite Instagram photos – we found the bulletin board for $5 at the thrift store and then we had them printed at Persnickety Prints. It was the first time we had used them and I loved the kind of paper they used – perfect for display, it was $15 for all of these pics. Then we just hung them with jute twine and tiny clothespins.

 

 

I ordered this print from Minted forever ago because I loved it so much – it’s serene and restful and the hint of pink was perfect for her room. It’s called Mornings Away by Emily Jeffords and then we framed it in an Ikea Ribba frame spray painted gold.

 

 

The bed is from Amazon and we only paid $152 with Prime in March – right now it doesn’t look like Amazon is selling it, but watch and it may come back at a great price? Info on the board & batten on the wall is here. The chandelier is from my Grandma’s house ♥

 

 

 

The lamps on the dresser are from a yard sale in Texas FOREVER ago, $5 for both. The frames and greenery are from Ross and local stores.

 

 

The white & gold pillows are actually from Walmart for $13 each. The white coverlet is from a thrift store for $5 – I was going to use it as a display blanket in a cute basket but it was in such great shape we washed it and used it on her bed. The blush comforter at the foot of the bed came in a set from Ross – only $29.99. Here is a pic:

 

The bar cart is a crazy random find at Target – it was an after Christmas clearance find for 90% off! $13!! I checked a few more stores for my sister that wanted one but no luck.

 

The framed quotes by the bar cart are in Ikea and TJ Maxx frames, just printed out at Costco. The top one was from Etsy for $1.50 and I used some floral wrapping paper from TJ Maxx to wrap the mat.

 

 

That’s it! I returned all of the curtain choices that we didn’t use and this makeover ended up being easily under $300 since we had the mattress, chandelier, and dresser -- I think I linked up to everything as we went along – let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by ~ I’m adding it to the home tour tab.

 

 

Hello! I’m finally making it downstairs to my girls’ rooms. In February we were working on Lauren’s room, we here we go. I was at the local hardware store one morning and they were clearancing out all of their Devine paint for 75% off, so we bought 2 gallons of the almond color for $30 total. It’s a beautiful blue green color that shows up more blue in these pictures.

 

 

We need to talk about the painting. I had originally bought it at the thrift store for $8 to make it into a chalkboard but Lauren loved it and wanted it in her room. So we kind of went around that.

 

The bedspread is from TJ Maxx and the pillows are from Ross. The blue lamps used to be on our piano in our Virginia home.

 

These black frames with mats were at the thrift store for $1.50 each. I just had her choose a favorite picture and quotes to fill them with.

 

 

This desk has been with us since Texas (in our laundry room!) and has been perfect for my book lover.

 

We found the curtains at TJ Maxx – they are Tommy Hilfiger and were only $17.99/panel

 

The white chandelier also came with us across country:

 

and so did the dresser. It’s nice and chippy but I think that adds to the charm now

 

The headboard was $67 from Amazon, pillows are from Ross and the bedspread was from TJ Maxx.

 

The cool vintage eagle mirror was from my Grandma’s house and the jewelry hanger was from Aeropostale from a CME + Deals a long way back

 

And that’s it! It’s simple but that’s the way she wanted it :) We’re moving to Hailey’s room next!

 

Finally! I’ve been working on this room on and off for the past couple of years but we got a new mattress (we went with a King!) and that gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finish it up.

- Mattress – I thought it was so dumb to spend so much on a mattress but now think it was worth every penny!! I talk about it in my Favorite Things here

- Bedding - we got the ivory

- Pillows and throw are from TJMaxx & Tuesday Morning

- Ceiling Fan (we paid $157 when we built the house, these have gone way up! I so love a beautiful chandelier, but we love air flowage even more)

- Leaning mirror

- Pot is from Ross

- Picture frames on the wall are these ones and were just spray painted with Krylon antique bronze ( I adore this color but it only comes in the small cans. I have also seen them at JoAnn Fabric & Hobby Lobby)

Hello! This is our son’s room downstairs – finally! I’ve shared some of the projects along the way and now I am ready to add it to our Utah home tour. :)

Hello! I’ve been gradually putting together our mudroom to make it work for our family. It is the most used room in our home because it goes out to the garage, it’s the way we head out every day, and then come home, it’s the drop zone and quickly becomes a disaster, but everyone is at school/work right now so it looks like this:

Hello! I’ve been working on our laundry room to make it more functional, yet a pretty space to be in. C’mon – it’s laundry. It’s already not fun, so I wanted the space to be kind of pleasant to be in. I showed some pictures here of when we first moved in and the picture frame mats to bring some color and cheer in. It’s between the garage and the kitchen so it doesn’t have a window or any natural light, so this was hard to get pictures of!

I usually don’t fold laundry in my laundry room. I bring our laundry (me & my husband’s) out to the kitchen table and fold while I watch something or when the kids get home and they are buzzing around practicing or doing homework. For my kids, each has a different laundry day and I wash it for them during the day. When they come home, they take it to their room to fold. That’s our laundry system! So I didn’t need/want a huge laundry room because I really don’t spend too much time in there.

Anyway! I don’t know if you wanted to know all of that! Back to the room: I typed up a favorite quote, sent it to Staples and had it printed on an 18X24 print for $2. Then I found these great huge frames at Michaels (back in August, I really do take forever on projects) for $12.99! They still sell them and you can watch for a great sale.

 Hello -- come on in to our upstairs bathroom! This is the one my younger boys and guests use. I actually have a long, drawn out, melodramatic story to go with the decisions for this space, but that is for another post! Today is just to show it and make it look it easy :)
