Hannah's room revealed

Hannah's room is finally done!

Still messy but done. And if you know Hannah at all you know that she is like a tornado passing through every time she enters a room.


We found the bedspread and pillows at a thrift store for $18. The new lamp shades were $4 each. We found the picture on the wall at a thrift store too. Then we painted the frame white and for $1.50 we had a cute picture to put up on the wall.



The picture frame here was $1 and all we had to do was paint it white. We bought the little decorations on it for $.10 each. The shelf was made by Rob from scrap wood laying around. I posted about them earlier.


This other picture on the wall was also a thrift store find. I think we paid $2.00 or $2.50 for it and we didn't have to do anything to it. The second shelf Rob made is also displayed.
This was a fun project for the girls and I to do together and Hannah loves it. It's much more kid friendly and cheerful than before. We tried to incorporate colors that were already in the room in order to finish on a budget. Originally this room was the same light blue on the top but it had ugly blue wallpaper on the bottom half and around the top of the walls. The border wallpaper had ducks on it. Ugh. When we first moved in I mentioned the ugly border and wallpaper and said that I didn't know how anyone could like that. Turns out Robbie did. Good thing he works during the day and doesn't know what I'm doing at home while he's not there. If I work fast enough I can have a whole room stripped before he gets home.
