Not too long ago a designer quoted me $6,000-15,000 to finish the playroom. The room that only kids hang out in.
That was not going to fit our budget, considering we had no budget and no plan to overhaul the room at this point.
We simply shut the door and went about our lives.
As you saw this week, we redid the playroom. And we did it on a budget. I share this, because if you have an ounce of DIY blood, you can accomplish this.
IKEA Couch $325, new slipcover $100, back up slipcover $10.
Clock $5, Goodwill
Armoire $50, birdcage-free, suitcase $1. $5 knobs from Hobby Lobby, on sale. All other accessories we had.
Rug $20
Magnetic boards and magnets $32
Picture $3, Goodwill
Curtains $30, rod $8
Wall hangings $5 x 3=$15, Hobby Lobby
Lamp base $4, Goodwill. Had the lampshade.
Cabinet $7 from GW. Knobs $5, Hobby Lobby on sale.
Rummage sale coffee table $5 (yet to be painted).
TOTAL:
Couch $435
Armoire $55
Cabinet $12
Rug $20
Curtains $38
Coffee Table $5
Accessories $60
GRAND TOTAL: $625
So, if Hubby is reading this I saved $14,375!
Have a great day!

It certainly LOOKS like you spent more than $625 on this room! Great job!
It looks fantastic! Your white colours wouldn't stay white for long at my place, but you know your kids better ;)
