We live in the two bedroom half of our duplex: Master bedroom and Brylee's bedroom. This was all fine and well except that we're staying in this house until December and are having a baby in March! That's 9 months that this kid doesn't have a room... what to do. Well, 2 years ago, Braden built me a walk in closet in place of the hallway into the master bedroom...
We were discussing how to arrange our room or Bry's room to fit this little guy into our home when Braden had an AHA moment... what if the closet was a bedroom, not a closet? He's a genius! In just 2 days, we went from the closet above to this.
We put the closet shelves out in our room. We shortened, finished, and painted them. And see that green satin curtain in the corner? Pull back that curtain and you'll find This!
I recovered our black chair and green footstool for $2! Braden thinks it's too girly for a boy's room, but I think it's definitely an improvement!
I recovered a bulletin board that we had lying around to put on top of the shelf and put ribbons on it and along the walls too - $4. I repainted the "Sweet dreams" arc - something else that we just had around and put some sporty stickers on it - $2. Then I just repainted a few frames that we had, put some pix in em and tied em up with ribbons - $2.
And finally, I bought the bumpers, sheet, and quilt at a consignment sale last summer before I even knew it was a boy! Haha - $15.
All in all, we got ourselves a brand new nursery... for $25 might I add. I'm pretty proud of that! Now we just need to pick out a name and I'll put that up in vinyl on the wall on the left.
