It Appeals To My Inner Voyeur....

Now, before you go off thinking I'm some kind of pervert, I am talking about Nester's PRICE MY SPACE PARTY!!!



How genius to give us all a chance to see the price points on each other's rooms! I love it!

So, without further ado, here is our "master" bedroom (we took the smaller second bedroom and gave the bigger master to the boys )!

First up, solid wood dresser with tons of character, plus the mirror....*drumroll please*
$40! I searched on Craigslist for a nine drawer dresser for months until I found this one. I want to sand and repaint it eventually, but that will have to wait until later.


(Please excuse the dust on the mirror...)
The weird little finial-ish looking things on the dresser I found eons ago at a TJ Maxx...I can't remember how much I paid. They have gone from hanging on the wall (their original purpose) to bookends and now dresser art. I really should get rid of them because they aren't really our style any more, but for some reason I still keep them.


This is my hubby's side of the bed. I think we paid $50 for the "nightstand" (it is really a file cabinet). The large glass hurricane was free as a gift. And the picture frame was $10...I think..
The leaf votive candle wall thing was a gift from my sister.

Now onto my side of the bed. We got that picture frame when we first got married so we could put our marriage license in it. It was probably about $20 (that was back before my frugal change of heart...LOL). The weird thing hanging on the wall is my cheapo necklace holder...a thumbtack. I am running out of room on it though. The nightstand was a hand me down from my mom.


The bedspread is just a comforter that I purchased with two pillows for $23.49. The black pillow cost $5 at Ross. The curtains I made, and the fabric cost me $18 total. The curtain rod was $2.39 at Home Depot and the curtain rings were $14 for two sets of 7. The wall color is Anonymous by Behr..$23.47 for a gallon.

And so the grand total for this space comes to:

$188.35!

Yes it is a simple room...that comes with a limited budget. :) If you wish to see what it looked like before I redid it, you can see photos here.
