Design Challege: Follow Up

Ady's birthday gift from her Daddy and I was an updated room. I had been wanting to do this for months, and her birthday was the perfect motivator. Once I started prepping the room, I realized it was going to be more of a task than I could take on at this time. All the walls needed to be repainted and her furniture also needs a good deal of TLC. I opted to paint the walls, and leave the furniture for a not-so-humid time of year.
Before:
 |
| Yes, that is full bedding on a queen bed. Don't judge. |
 |
| The bed takes up the whole room. Those picture on the wall are her with a friend -- I think she was 2 at the time. |
 |
| How about all those awkward doors? |
 |
| Those are her baby hand a foot prints and her beloved butterfly from Aunt Val. |
 |
| Not only did we deal with weird door placement, but how about that air vent on the wall? |
 | ||
| This wall art was a wedding gift. It used to be brown. I'm looking for a small desk to go below this. She doesn't quite need one yet, but she will soon. |
 |
| I don't love these rugs, but we already have them, so I'm making them "work" for now. |
 |
| The Beloved Butterfly painted pink and photos of the ones that love her the most. |
 |
| One of my favorite photos of the 3 of them. |
 |
| Decoupaged wooden letters -- I'm sure there are fancier ways to do them, but this was a fun and easy craft. |
On the short list of things I have left to do:
Window treatment
Refinish furniture
Paint the mirror above the dresser w/chalkboard paint
Find a matching ribbon board
Mount 3 hooks for her jacket/backpack/etc.
And yes, I was able to make my budget...not withstanding the additional 3 walls I had to paint. Hooray!
