New Room!!

So this is Scotlyn's new room...
I set it up a while ago and I didn't like it. So, I made some changes. I made some more things and did some finishing touches.
Now I LOVE it!!!
These are a few BEFORE pics....


Some AFTER pics....
This is of a headboard that I made into a shelf. All I did was spray paint it white and hung it on the wall.

The window.. I needed to spray paint the rod white and order an extra valance. I didn't have any thing to put on the ends... I'll show you a close up of that in a sec..



This is of the 'main' wall. We decided it needed some paint, so why not some stripes? Thanks to Scott that did all that for me.

A close up of the wreath I made. I love it cuz I think it's sassy. Made out of a feather boa.







THis is the close up of the end of the curtain rod. I wanted something cuter than the things you get at the store, so I just used styrofoam balls and covered them with fabric and shoved them on the ends.. I like how it turned out. Super cheap, especially when your sis already has the balls and I already had the fabric!



This is my FAVORITE part. I know it seems silly, but this is what really finished the room.
So we started out with just plain old regular base boards, they were actually really crappy.
So I saw on another blog what this genius girl did. She just got another piece of molding put it about 2 inches higher than her existing base boards, nailed them in, and painted the new moulding, the 2 inches between and the old base board. Now it looks like you spent big bucks and got the big thick moulding.
It cost us 40 bucks to do this room, we compared what it would have been with the real thick baseboards and it would have been 140!!! Saved 100.00 bones!!!!!






This is the curtain that was going to be hanging on the window, but it was too dark and enclosed the room, so I took it down and put it on the closet for a closet door.( the weird people that lived here before us took random doors) I just made rosettes and buttons to add a little extra flair.




















The lamp.. This was fun to make. Just made a couple ruffles and rosettes and hot glued them on.






















So my sister made me this 's'. But at first it was pink, but there was too much pink on this wall so we painted it blue and put a tutu around it. I thought the pop of pink was fun...












This is Scotlyn's first Easter Egg hunt. She had so much fun. She didn't realize there was candy in the eggs, but she really like shaking them and putting them in her bag. I know I'm a bad mom and didn't have her Easter basket, but I forgot. But she loved her sack!!!!!
The next day she was over at my mom's and she got her bag and went around the house taking all of the my mom's Easter egg decor and put it in her bag!! So funny!


































I hope everyone has a fabulous Easter!!

Holy cow! Love seeing it since you described it all to me. I love the stripes so much! Seriously cute! And the letter S is adorable. You're so creative with the darling lamp, the curtain door, and the "sassy" wreath! And I really did go back and look at your nursery post. Man you're good at doing rooms!
Seriously lovin' my hair. You always make it exactly what I want. And you're the best giving me a deal too!
