Here is reminder of what we started with:
(And it was actually less than what is pictured. We didn't keep the daybed frame, so we were really starting with a twin mattress (no box spring), a brown reading chair and some accessories.)
And here is what the room looks like today:
Here are some close up photos of the last few room additions:
I added some poster frames (just like the ones I posted about here) to add some personalized photos.
We also hung her 'L' hook:
She loves being able to hang up her own towel at night.
And we added an embroidered prayer that my Grandma made for me just after I was born. It was in my room as a little girl for as long as I can remember.
And remember my original inspiration for the room? Well, I found a hat stand on Craigslist for one buckaroo, and I had to snatch it up to display the hat behind the room. A perfect finishing touch!!
And here are a few more things that we'll be working on in the future:
We had a little problem with one of the drawer knobs already. I think we tightened it too much when we installed them and one cracked. No one was hurt and I replaced it with a cheapo white floral pair from the Michael's dollar bin section. I may try to spray paint it a similar blue to the others, because I really don't love the look as is.
And this canvas will be one of my 'hibernation' projects this winter after I find some inspiration. It's a big canvas that I've had for quite awhile, so I'm not sure how much it cost, and I didn't include the cost for the room since it's not finished (or even started actually).
All in all, I'm very pleased with the way this room came together, and I learned so much in the process!!
