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!

*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….

have you been following ohdeedoh’s small kids, big color contest?

zoey’s homemade haven is my favorite by far.

i think i love everything about this nursery.

i want those drapes..and rug..and chair…ok, everything.

not your typical nursery print but i love them.

a banner, what a great way to personalize a space.

this nursery wouldn’t be complete without a chandelier.

i should buy a lottery ticket today because today is my LUCKY day.

i scored 4 faux bamboo arm chairs for $75.00 total!

i am so excited.

kinda giddy actually.

now i just need to decide what to do with them.

should i paint, re-upholster, and sell?

should i keep them for my dining room?

or use them as accent chairs by my fireplace?
