You may remember Emory’s DIY loft bed from her old bedroom.
Well I still love it but it doesn’t fit in her new room.
Her bedroom in our rental home is tiny and the loft bed would cover half of the window. Instead of getting rid of it, I have decided to convert it into a daybed. I still need to work out all of the details, but I am really excited.
I want it to look something like this one…
You can buy this daybed at Walmart for $299.00, which actually is a pretty good deal, but still a little out of my budget.
I found this delicious fabric at my local Home Fabrics store for $5.99 a yard. Emory loves the color and I think it is the perfect fabric for an upholstered daybed.
I am also in the middle of making her drapery! I spent the weekend sewing drapery and adding this black pom pom trim. I am not a very good sewer, but luckily these have been really easy to make.
I can’t wait to put them up.
My color inspiration for the room comes from the fabric on this pillow.
This has to be one of my favorite fabrics. It will look really great on the her new purple daybed and help tie everything together.
Since I can’t paint, I am also considering these stars for the wall behind her bed.
They are only $32.00 for 128 of them, not bad at all.
I must admit, there is something about creating a space on a tight budget that I love.
Crazy right?
Hey Danielle!
I just can’t wait to see what your upholstered daybed will look like! (along with the rest of the porject) i LOVE your ideas!
And you are not alone my friend! I too get a rush by working on a budget!
Just gives me such a huge sense of accomplishment, which would not come otherwise!
Keep up the great work! Happy Blogging!

That inspiration fabric is gorgeous, I can’t resist anything with pom-pom trim these days. And yes, the challenge of pulling together a great space on a budget is so gratifying!
Love love the direction you are going! That inspiration fabric is perfect!
That purple fabric was a great find! I love the crosshatch texture in it. Can’t wait to see it come together!
Love the direction – it’s going to look amazing! That purple is the perfect shade too!
I have black pom pom trim curtains on my blog — I used fabric glue. SO easy!

Love, Love, Love it!! That purple fabric looks like what I made Ad’s curtains out of! Is it Serena and Lily? If so I’m jealous that you got it $4 cheaper than me! I miss Home Fabrics!
Love it! All the little touches really make it extra special. And that day bed?! Crazy, I can’t believe it came from Walmart!
Love your plan for the space! I can’t wait to see it!
Crazy cute! I love the purple . . .and wow. That daybed. The floral is so cute, too.
Love the plan. Can’t wait to see how it comes together.
