Our New Bedroom (finally right?)

I know it's been forever since I've updated on the house. Last week we finished our bedroom. Well mostly. We still need to put trim around the windows and put in a bedroom door. I still need to make the curtains and the curtain for the closet doorway. But it's done otherwise.
If you remember it was a mess and not a room in the beginning. Then Firefighter built the one wall before we moved in more or less to keep the kids from falling. Those posts can be found here, here, and here.
We got a new bed. Gma called shortly after we moved in and asked if we wanted her "old" mattress and foundation. It wasn't that old. She said it wasn't supportive enough for her. I said yes. It's free right? It's awesome too. So cushy. We built the frame for it. I like my bed to be a little higher than the standard metal frame.

This is where our once non existent wall was.

Please ignore the mess in the hall and Prissy Pants room. Her new window went in the day we brought our foundation up. There was some drama in that. Like the boxspring was about 3 inches wider than the window was tall. We got it up though. It will not be leaving with us.

This is what I had planned all along for our bed. It actually is supposed to drape a little more than it is in the photo. The photos truly do not do it justice. So if you want to see a great view of it just hollar and come on over :)


My Mamaw gave us the comforter, pillows, and shams. The rods holding my sheer faux headboard were from the old house's living room. The wood from our frame was cedar left over from a work project of Firefighters from over a year ago. I have the fabric that I'm making the curtains with in a box. I originally bought it for something else. The sheer cost me $11 on the clearance rack at Walmart. The paint cost me $17 or so at Menards. The sign on the wall between the windows cost me $13. The total cost to my decorated room was $41.
The comforter is temporary or semi temporary. I am planning on making a quilt to go on our bed, or buy the comforter that I really wanted. Time and money are issues right now so this is what is staying.

I'll update with more stuff later. I have to get photos of them still.
