Playroom makeover: Part 1

We have since moved on to Phase 2 (hanging the tv, making a built in underneath and finishing working on the hide-a-way nook) but it has since been trumped by a million other side projects.  When AC goes to school in the Fall (is that angles singing "hallelujah" I hear???)  maybe we can finish up!!

Before:

In Progress (Phase 1):

• Painted walls (free - had the paint)
• Knocked down popcorn texture (not smooth, just less popcorn-y) (free)
• Covered futon with queen sheet and used flat sheet to make dust ruffle ($29.99)
• Shelving from Target in back: 4 units ($80.00)
• Added baseboards to bottom of shelving (approx $15)
• Made awning (free - had the fabric and used shelving braces we had to make the frame)
• Roman shade under awning ($7.99 on clearance from Linens and Things - reg $59.99)
• Covered toy box & made pillows to make a window seat (free - had all the fabric)

Phase 1 makeover cost:  $133

Considering the futon cover I almost purchased cost $159 I'd say I did pretty darn good ;)  I figured if it got something on it I could throw it in the wash, or I could easily change the color!!

Phase 2 coming sometime Fall 2011 ;)
