Since this house is a rental, we couldn't paint the walls. I love to paint and I love color, so not being able to paint was a challenge for me.
The room is in the eaves, so add slanted walls and we had a second obstacle.
I still have a dresser to finish, but we're so close to done now that I can share!
Before
Here is the room as I found it.
Remember the recycled art print? I found this ceramic lamp for a dollar, primed and spray-painted it with a satin black and added a shade the homeowner already had.
I sewed this Jolly Roger flag for the wall, but it was so cute on the bed that it's become a throw.
I picked up this fishing net on vacation just to have on hand, and it works perfectly for stuffed animal storage.
I sewed roman blinds out of some black and white striped fabric picked up on clearance and turned the pattern vertically to add a header, then added red webbing to bring some more color in.
and After...
A rug
Hardware for the chippy dresser (not seen)
Pirate's chest (next on my redo list)
Pin It
I adore this. That little sign is adorable. We just redid my daughter's room on a budget so I hear you on that. I would love for you to share over at Sunny Simple Sundays. http://sunnysimplelife.blogspot.com/
