Hi….I wanted to make sure to tell you upfront that I have received no product or compensation to promote these products - I wanted to share with my readers great ways to decorate and stay within a budget. Thanks for visiting.
When I decided to redo my spare bedroom I wanted to redo the room and be very economical. I wanted to show that YES decorating can be done on a budget. Here is the final room pic.....well not completely final I have a antique clock from my parents to hang on the wall on the right side of the curtains by the bed.
Everything in this room was what I already had, purchased used, or purchased from Walmart - Big Lots - Menards - Back to Bed - Hobby Lobby.
To start the adventure we tore out the carpet and found natural hardwood floors in terrible condition. Years of paint spilled all over the floor. We plan to totally redo the hardwood floors - but I want to wait until the other rooms in our home have been painted and redone. I want the same hardwood do go throughout the home. I wanted to make the old floors look the best I can. I am still getting the paint off....this is a huge task. But hopefully a few more days of scrubbing and I will have all of the old paint off. I will be posting how to get paint off old hardwood floors. Make sure to check back you are not going to believe what product worked the best!
This post I want to tell you about the furniture in the room.
I purchased the tall cabinet with drawers at a Farmer's Market - $30.00 While shopping with Isa we found a cute round table at Walmart for $15.00 perfect for a bedside table.
I wanted the bed to be a high bed so King would not jump up and sleep on the bed. I purchased a tall bed frame from Back to Bed for $61.00 - no headboard.

At a Farmer's Market I found a really neat old music chair for $25.00 - The wood details on the chair are amazing - but the cushion needed to be replace.

My upholstery job is not the best...this is only the second thing I have ever upholstered. Last year I redid two chairs for our RV. I think it looks really nice and I am pleased with the chair.
There were four items that I already had ... my sewing machine cabinet - our exercise bike, antique chair and a trunk that was restored by my dad.
Total cost of furniture for my room: $142.00 - not bad!
Make sure to check back...I will be explaining each area of the room and what the total cost was to redo!
