I just painted Ella's walls two shades of gray. I love the gray, but with nothing else in there yet it looks a little sad. I'm thinking something silver and sparkly is needed. What 6 year-old princess doesn't love crowns? First I sprayed them with a hammered silver metallic paint. Then I added a little purple paint and glitter. Voila! |

These beauties are now awaiting a space in Ella's redecorated room.
This room is turning out to be a challenge. It's a small space and it has to function as her playroom and her bedroom. Also, I'm trying to redecorate it on a $200 budget. I'll have to upcycle, recycle, do whatever I can; but I want her to have a room she loves.
Money Tally so far:
$13 --chalkboard paint
$40 --gray paint for walls
$ 9 --fabric for curtains (9 yards)
$20 --spray paint
$20 --decorative hanging crowns
That leaves $98 and she doesn't have a bed yet.
The chalkboard has already been getting good use. I found the fabric for the curtains on the clearance shelf for just $1/yard! I sewed two sets, one set shown here and a matching set for the window. I hung them from ceiling to floor. I think it makes the 9' ceiling seem even higher and it looks dramatic. I'm thinking about putting up molding to frame the chalkboard...
