i’ve been working hard trying to finish emory’s bedroom.
one of the frustrating things about designing on a tight budget is how LONG it takes.
searching the city for the perfect piece of used furniture and re-finsihing it is way more time consuming then pushing the purchase button at an online store.
fortunately, in the end it is SO worth it.
i am getting very close to finishing her room.
so far i have spent $284.00 on her room.
i still need to purchase a couple frames but hope to finish it for under $300.00!
things left to do:
*paint nightstand
*sew pillows for bed
*hang art wall
*finish chalkboard
*paint & re-cover child’s size rocking chair
ok, so maybe i have quite a bit left….
I am super impressed! It is going to look fantastic, and is something she can grow with. I love that headboard!!
It looks like it’s in a magazine! Tell me more about those plates. LOVE the headboard fabric. Show some more pics!
Wow! Not only are you able to do it on a budget, your picks look expensive. For example, the urn shaped lamp w/a custom looking shade!! Great! I’m dying to know your source list!!
This room is fabulous… I cannot believe how much you spent!? It looks like a million bucks 🙂

SO cute! Really love those plates 🙂
Looking great…can’t wait to see the end result!!
Danielle, it looks so adorable so far!! I love those plates. I’m not sure if you have posted on them before, but did you make them or buy them?
I’m loving this so far, increadible!!! Good luck finishing it up!
Thanks for your visit!

It’s looking awesome so far…can’t wait to see the end result! All for under $300… impressive!!! AP just had a post on buying new or DIY…it was funny b/c I am sure most creative people get into the same rut. I don’t want to pay a lot, so I’ll do it myself, but then my ‘to do’ list becomes enormous and almost insurmountable!
It is so enchanting!! I can’t believe that headboard only cost $46… WOW.
I love how eclectic and fun it looks! Did you do the headboard yourself?? I like the nightstand color- are you changing it up? Your daughter is adorable! I’d love to see where you got everything. I’m already collecting ideas for a big boy room and my son’s only 8 months. Maybe I should slow down! 🙂
julie & shannon,
i made the animal silhouette plates from plates i picked up from a thrift store, card stock, and mod podge.

super simple and emory loves them!
Wow- love! I think your DIY plates are adorable; well done you! The headboard is my favourite part of the room- the fabric is so fun for a little girl. Can’t wait to see it all finished:)
megan,
I did make the headboard myself. one of my easiest diy projects to date!

I am not changing the nightstand color, i just need to paint the other one 🙂
I am loving her room. That headboard is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see it all done.
This is such a cute room – looks like from the pages of Domino. Adorable headboard!
Very cute ! Great job on the headboard.
I think it’s coming together really nicely! It seems age appropriate for now, and for later when she’s a little older. Great job. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
