Baby Boy's Room

Getting started.  It was a plain room with tan walls and nothing in it.

We decided we didn't like the peach color so we ended up painting them brown.  The best part about putting boards up is you don't have to paint perfect lines!  

Filling the lines and holes.  Almost done!  

The chevron frames we painted over these hideous pictures.  They were from Tai Pan Trading for $2 a piece.  We took all of them they had.  No wonder they were so cheap!  They were so ugly!!

The curtains were from Hancock fabrics.  The frames were from Roberts Arts and Crafts which is now out of business but they have smaller ones kind of like these at Ikea.

The dresser we got for $50 on KSL and painted it.    

The crib used to be a natural color.  We painted it to match the material and wall.  We made the bumper our of solid fleece material.

 Finished!

Kaylynn's Room

Before

This was Kaylynn's room before. The headboard Lori and I stole out of a Down East dumpster. It was lots of fun! It had a big gash in the back but you can't see it. I sold it on KSL for $50!

These are the after pictures. We did an orange sherbet on the wall. It is kind of hard to tell what color it is. The headboard we got from a Downeast clearance store. I got some soft fuzzy material at 75% off from Hancock Fabrics to recover it. The curtains were made out of $1 material from Wal-mart tied back with ribbon. The quilt was from The Quilt Shop in Gardner Village. I had a $25 off coupon and then they gave me $25 off because I filled all the punches for a punch card and then $25 more off for a little stain on it and it was on sale. It was a great deal. Her bedroom furniture I got on KSL for $50. I got the chandelier for $15 and painted it white. I decorated the lamp shades with some fringe/tassel stuff from Hobby Lobby.
These decorative balls are made out of flowers and were from Wal-Mart. I got some craft paint and painted them in colors that matched her room.

Lori and I made these out of bead board. I love thinking of new ways to display pictures of my kids. You can never have enough pictures!
The quilt shop also gave me the girl statue for free for buying a quilt that day. I made the little skirt on her. Kaylynn keeps asking me when I am going to make her a head.

On the nightstands I tried to use things we already had. The lamps I got at Wal-Mart. I decided I was going to return them. When I did the lady said because I had my receipt I could get my full refund, but that they were on clearance for $2 a piece. I returned them for full price and bought them for $2. The jewelry box I got for a dollar from a garage sale. It had ugly material in it so I took that out and put in paper that matched the room. I painted the baskets pink to match. I love painting things.

This window Lori got from a lady moving out of the country. She had tons of old windows from a museum in down town Salt Lake. You can't really see in the picture but the glass has cut flowers in it. It's awesome!

The lantern was a garage sale find for $1.
