Lucky's Room Budget Breakdown: An Update

Here is an update to this post from last week about our intended budget for Lucky's Room Redesign.

Our initial budget gave us $425 to make/purchase a long list of items for her room.  We also added $95 to that initial number by selling a few items on Craigslist this week.  These pieces of decor looked marvelous in our old home, but they didn't work in our new house.  (I paid $130 total for these items initially, so I didn't feel awful about making $95 on the sale.)

So our new running budget is $520 which makes me feel much more comfortable:)

Here is our updated 'Items to Purchase or Make' List:
1. Twin Bed Frame $10 Craigslist



2. Twin Box Spring $50 Brand New in sealed plastic bag from Craigslist (Bill was removing the plastic when I took this picture...see his shoe:) He's hiding from the camera):

3. Twin Headboard/Bed $29 Made with canvas frame, batting and fabric



4. New Bedding (Comforter, sheets, bed skirt): $90 in bedding and $15 bedskirt = $105

5. Night Stand $10.80 Goodwill



6. Another Lamp FREE (found in old nursery)
7. A furniture piece for toy and book storage
