2 Girls and a Boy Bedroom Update

So I have delayed posting more photos of what I have accomplished in my kids bedroom. I think I need to face the fact that I am not going to have everything I wanted done before the baby boy comes a long. The good thing he could careless and won't even be sleeping in the crib for the first few months. However I have accomplished a few projects and would like to share them with you. Now remember my style has completely changed since I found the Pottery Barn headboard covers and skirt marked down more than 75%. Also I am not a decorator and have no idea what I am doing. Here is the progress so far. Click here for before photos.

I found this frame and small table at the local Goodwill.

I then turned the frame and table into this.

This is where I have hung the painting from my friend Beth.

I did end up painting the room yellow changing it from that blue color. I will have to go back and fix all of my errors when I am not pregnant and impatient. However I think it turned out great.

This is what is completed at the moment. Things on my bucket list. Change bedding to white adding some colored trim, complete crib, create photo wall of photos of kids after baby boy comes, create workstation in dormer, make these pelmet boxes for the windows, and create reading corner. I wish I had someone that knew how to reupholster because that chair really could use it. I am pleased with how it has turned out and hope I can continue along the inexpensive path of creating a bedroom for my kiddies. Now if I could only figure out Craigslist so I can stay on the inexpensive side.

  1. Check on Jennica's site. She has some good suggestions on how to re do the chair. No more free advice..she is charging now. I'm glad I got mine while I could. (although I went a different way than suggested). she recommends a book for redoing the chairs.
