Elizabeth's $20 Budget Makeover














These pictures are absolutely terrible!! They're hardly visible. I have to figure out what Elizabeth did to my camera. Until then here are the crappy pictures.
I set a $20 budget, but the biggest improvements were free.
#1- getting rid of an entire black trash bag of stuffed animals. Allowing the lid to FIT on the toy box. Slight miracle.

#2 Rearrange the bed, and get rid of old bed canopy.

#3. Make valances out of scrap wood from home depot, and a boa from her birthday party. Used the batting out of an old torn quilt Andrew's grandma had made, and 1 old towl, for the valance batting.

#4 Make new table lags to bring bedside table up to bed's height.

#5 Built shelf in closet to "showcase" "special" things that were crowding dresser.

#6 Score Vinyl on clearance at JoAnn's.

#7 Rearrange wall hangnings.

#8 Ditch old book basket, and arrange books in closet.

#9 A bit of organizing.

We still have a couple of things to add. I need to tile the top of her bedside table, assemble her memo board, and hang the other valance. But she was happy and hopefully this will keep her room clean for a week.
