Big Boy Room!
Submitted by danielle on February 6, 2009 - 9:43pm.
Well, since poor Evan never got a proper nursery due to his sudden arrival and since the girls' room was already decorated for Miriam, I decided to give Evan his big boy room instead of doing a nursery for Katie. So after almost 2 years, Evan finally has a room just for Evan (it was also a guestroom in its previous life).
The theme is "Transportation" and the breakdown goes like this:
- Primary-color Furniture (bed frame/headboard, desk & chair, and shelf) - $50, used from friend
- Fabric to re-cover chair & make two curtains - $7
- Dresser - free from neighbor
- Hardware to make dresser gender neutral - $17
- Paint to cover gold on dresser - free, re-appropriated from other project
- Multi-color ceiling fan - free, already in room
- Mattress - new, $100
- Box-spring for bed - free, was mine growing up
- Canvas to cover torn bottom of box-spring - free, re-appropriated from other project
- Bed skirt to cover rest of old box-spring - $12
- "Transportation" theme sheets - new off ebay, $17
- Train blanket - gift from Mimmi
- Bed-rail - free, off freecycle
- "Transportation" rug - free, off freecycle
- Pattern for wall murals - free, created myself off of online pictures
- Paint/brushes for wall murals - free, re-appropriated from other project
I think I did pretty good if I do say so myself! :) Have a look see.
