So we have done a little "musical beds" at our house!! Julia now has Zach's toddler bed and then Zach got the bottom bunk and Caleb moved to the top bunk!! At the sales I was looking for a twin bed and mattress.....
I found this twin bed with frame for $10 but it had no box springs and mattress....I loved the look of the bed but it was all scratched up looked a bit dated....so here is the before!!!
Here is the AFTER.... I sanded down the bed with fine grit sandpaper by hand then put two coats of black paint on the bed.....I had some black paint on hand from a previous project I had done.....I am sooooo happy with the result it really looks great! Then I added a quilt to the bed that I made several years ago.....when I had the time and space to do so....I miss quilting!! So this is Lance's new bed....By the way Justin bought another twin bed for $5 at his auction on Saturday (did you all know Justin was an auctioneer??) and it had a mattress and box springs...not in the best shape but we think it will work short term until we run across one!! I am glad we also have a twin bed on hand that for now we can store...but will be great for when we are ready to again move Julia...I think I am painting that bed as well....white I am thinking...
Well here is my room...above my dresser...We have lived here over years and our room has never been a priority to decorate....It's upstairs and no one really sees it but us.....I really wanted to decorate it though so I have been keeping my eyes peeled at sales for things....I found the little spool candle holder on the wall (I still need to get a candle for it) $1, the basket $1, Watering can $2, the little berry wreaths .50 each...everything else I had..The saying I put on the wall is adhesive..I got it for x-mad and I been debating on where to put it since..
This above Justin's dresser, the yellow (which says "faith"and the red tins (which reads "hope") on the wall were $1 each....the crock I got for .25!!!! The dark blue trough was $1...the rest I had....So I spiced up the deco in our room for $8 TOTAL!!! I still would like to get some neat picture for above the bed and maybe add some picture frames with the kids pictures in them somewhere....I think I am off to a good start though...

So now I want to find some decoration for Julia's room and then work on the boys room!! I am so happy with the result of painting Lance's bed I am going to soon tear apart the bunk beds and paint them too, which will help give the appearance that match.....
