Ever since Matthew was born, he has loved music. For his 1st birthday he got a play guitar and loves it! So we decided that he was an aspiring little rockstar like his daddy. These pictures don't have good lighting but here are a few shots from his newly decorated room. (the twins are going in his old room b/c there is more space). We had just painted this room a brown color about 2 weeks before we found out we were pregnant. Instead of repainting, we stuck with it and I think the off-white furniture looks awesome with it. You know I'm a bargain shopper, along with my mother-in-law, who is queen bargain shopper, so I think we spent a total of $100 for the entire room! If you are wondering how, I will explain!
The crib was borrowed from a very good friend. The crib bedding was $60 for ALL of it. Including the blanket on the bed and our basket to hold diapers. The twin bedding was pieced together from my linen closet and the bedspread was given to me by a friend who was taking it to goodwill. I bought ribbon for $1 and it looks like a pottery barn bed spread.
The curtains were half off at BB&B- $30 total. The chair was also given to me from a friend and I repainted it antique white to match. My sweet friend recovered the fabric as a gift. Matt hung his electric guitar last night to finish off the rockstar look.
We have had this awesome dresser since we got married, which was passed down to us by Matt's parents- matches perfectly!
And of course I had to paint something for his room- so I found some old paintings that weren't very good- primed them and repainted the guitars and initial. Voila! We have a new room for under $100!
