What girl doesn’t love a good makeover? After living in our house for a year, I decided it was time to get rid of the “no cost decorating” we did in our bedroom, and go with something a little more our style. I got some really excellent deals, too. The bed (which is solid wood) was $299 on sale at Value City Furniture. The birch gallery wrap canvas was free from my friend Jeremy who runs a print shop and used my project to test new canvas paper. The little red nightstands were a steal at Ikea for $40/each. And I got the bedspread (which is patchwork corduroy) on clearance at Target for $39. The curtains (which are velveteen), were $30/pair at Overstock.com. We’re eventually going to replace the white dresser with a lovely Craftsman style one, but even with all my bargain shopping, it’s not in the budget right now!
