Guest Room Makeover

This summer I have a goal to decorate a few rooms in our neglected basement. When we moved in we focused all of our energy on getting the upstairs put together and just left the basement alone. Originally we had put the guest bedroom upstairs but decided that it would be nice for guests to have a room downstairs with some privacy.

Here is the guest room before...hot pink on top with a white pattern on the bottom of the walls...Complete with a built in vanity...
And a Cinderella sticker on the wall...
Did I mention that the people who lived here before us had 4 little girls!

The downside with loving to decorate is that it costs money so we tried to do this bedroom as cheaply as possible. Everything in this room we either already had and refurbished, found at the DI, or made ourselves. Thank goodness for my mom..she came to my rescue and painted the room and hung up the curtains! Without her this would still be a work in progress!
Here is the finished result!! I love it!

This was an old dresser of Andy's (sorry I didn't take a better picture.) We spray painted it with Krylon Bahama Sea and added new glass knobs...

and wham bam...looks like a totally different dresser!

I found these old pillows in my mom's house..washed them up and made slipcovers for them...

and they turned out so cute!

I still have one more to make but am debating on the design!

Overall with paint and linens and everything in the room we were able to redecorate it for under $75! One room down only about 20 to go...
