Room makeover can now be revealed! Happy Birthday Taylor Rae!!!!
What I started with...blank slate!
What she came home to......
TA-DA!!!!
This shot is the same angle as the one at the very beginning of this post showing you what I started with.
I took Steve's drafting table and made a vanity / work space for her here. The mirror was old and had some oxidation on it so to salvage it, I painted it black and put some polyurithane on it to make it shiny and then bought some wall decals in the form of a dandelion and put them over most of the problem areas on the mirror and then had them "blow" across the walls to the right and left of her mirror.
I made her a place to hang her earrings and play the role of "art" on her walls. I bought an old window ($10) and then put window screen on it with nail heads and hung it with green burlap ribbon from a crystal door knob. I bet this entire project cost me $15 tops. and it's so cute and functional. I need to make one for my
myself.
This is a close up of how the dandlions look on the wall. I love this color so much, it's like a buttery avocado!
We can't let her forget where she's from....
And THIS....believe it or not, was Izabella's changing table. I took off the top, sanded it down, painted it and put on some new knobs and vio-la! a brand new piece of furniture. This is where she'll put her TV and I'm going to get a piece of plexi to put on top of it to save it from scratches and I thought she could put pictures under it, too.
These are the 2 sayings that are hanging on the wall behind her bed....
And remember this? Because I did Tay's room, Izabella was jealous so we re-ARRANGED her room and now it's like a brand new room all over again...........
I love you Taylor Rae, you've been a blessing in my life and contiune to amaze me every day!
Love, Susan
NOW........................... when will Mommy and Daddy get a makeover?!
