So earlier in my blog I had blogged about redoing your house one small step at a time and just commit each week to do something to update your home that way it doesn't break the bank and step by step you start to get the house you've always wanted. Well over this past month I have to be honest it came out to be harder than expected with inheriting a teen and homeschooling and accepting a new job, Oh yes I accepted a new job and I love it but that's for another day.
We renovated our spare bedroom about 2 weeks ago which wasn't necessarily top on the priority list but it made it's way to top when we found we had a teen moving in (we couldn't have a teen move into a brown panelled room with small thumb tac holes all over) so we painted added new curtains, some small (and cheap) decor to make it look like the kind of bedrooms teens dream about. My husband being the amazing husband he is painted the weekend I was visiting home, and my mother in law hung the decor where I had left sticky notes to signify while I was gone. When we walked in it was absolutely stunning!!! (pictures below)
Where we got everything:
Bedding: Kohl's twin size set I used 15% off, plus it was already 50% off : $30 total
Curtains: Set of 2 at Christmas Tree Shop: $7.99 total
Curtain rods: 1 Large, and 1 small: Christmas tree shop: $15 total
Lighted Branches: Walmart, 50% off in the christmas decor left over section $4
Vase for Branches: Christmas Tree Shop: $6
Wall Hooks: Kohl's I used 15% off and it was 50% off: $7
Paint: 1 Gallon at Home Depot: $38
Total: $107.99
Why am I sharing this: To prove you can do an amazing room over with the stuff you have and with a little extra cash, when it came to decor we priced and compared to many locations and we also went through some of the decor that we already had sitting around the house to make the room look very fun and more like a home environment. Honestly though you don't have to spend much to make a room over, just a coat of paint can take a room you've dreaded seeing everyday and make it a room you never want to leave!
