Room Makeover on a Budget

Bedroom Makeover a Budget

I have been promising the kids I would redo their rooms since last year and finally this year I go started. I didn’t really have a huge budget so I had to get creative.

Last year Kiara wanted the room to be orange and pink but this year she decided on turquiose and I am so glad she did it – it really worked out so well.

I made over her chest of drawers to match the colours. I think I need to get white knobs though – the gold are fine but I think white would work better.
Cost: Only cost was the turquoise paint which I used on the walls, we had the white paint.

Their room was very cluttered previously and I really didn’t want to put it all back but she was adamant she wanted it all so I tried adding these suitcases from our wedding as a bedside table and luckily she loved it which meant there was no more space for the book shelves she wanted.
Cost: Two of these are from my mom but the other one I bought at the Hospice shop for our wedding for R10

She had a really grubby lamp shade so we decided to give it a little washi tape make over. It came out so well but we do actually need to reglue it – the washi tape doesn’t stick for very long.
Cost: Washi Tape is around R30 a roll and we did use an entire roll

We have a Typo factory shop of sorts nearby, it is so great because EVERYTHING is on special all the time! I pop in often to see what they have and got these lanterns for R50! I thought it was a bargain!
Cost: R50

She already had two of these little mirrors and Shayne bought me an E when Emma was born and I found a K at Typo for R20 I think. So they each have a set like this above their beds on the windowsill.
Cost R20

I painted the walls white, with one wall striped turquiose! It came out SO SO well. I was a bit worried since I have never really tried to paint anything “fancy” but it was pretty easy once David measured the stripes for me!
Cost: Turquoise paint R125 (1l) plus white paint R250 (5L)

Total cost so far R485.

We still have a few more things to do – I am busy with a frame for the white wall but so far it has really come out so well.

Have you done a room makeover before? How did it end up?
