Bedroom Makeover 2009

4th Wedding Anniversary was in April...I asked hubbie for a family photo session...and I wanted to be tan 1st and get my haircut 1st and yada yada yada...so at the beach last week...we got some really good family pics...so good that I ask if I could change my wish and redo our bedroom if I did it on a budget...wish granted. Yesterday I went to Old Time Pottery...and made magic happen...

Before...and we have a stripey Pottery Barn duvet comforter set...that is usually on the bed...but not in this pic...

After...Cream colored bedding? with a toddler in the house and hopefully he won't be the last? Yeah...I thought it would lighten up the dark green walls that we like...4 piece comforter set $40.00! 2 shiny brown accent pillows $6.00...soft Stripey Brown Chocolate Sheets $30.00...(I am going to re-do the curtains too...I'm not sure how yet...)

2 new 24 inch buffet lamps...$24.00.

2 new urns and fake plants...$25.00...(I still need to hunt down my Spanish moss and punch some down in those...

Sorry you can't hide a humidifier...

3 new pics $12.00...and robbed Peter to pay Paul the other 2...(and I am going to paint a few words up there to...to fill it in....and the huge frame...mom bought it at the thrift store for $5.00 a while back)...(and I guess I should replace the fake couple with one of our wedding pics...and touch up the old picture holes)...

I love this framed picture...sorry it didn't photo well...it reads "Come unto me and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28...

And lets not forget to be real here...I just took the pack and play out because he is too long for it and replaced it with a corner palette (we are working on it...he is napping is his bed in his room as I type...day 2...he went down kicking and screaming but only for 10 minutes) (He was hard to get on the way, he was hard to keep in my belly, then he was a preemie...and yes we have loved having him snuggle up to us for the last 2.5 years...)

Maybe I should put some pictures in that frame...I just keep waiting to put the next baby's pictures in it...

Did you add up the cost?...less than $150.00...$137.00 plus tax to be exact...not too shabby.
