All Star Makeover!

Several months ago, my sister in law Jolynne asked me if I would help her decorate her little boys room.  After many failed attempts at trying to get together...We FINALLY did it!

I asked her to send me some pics so I could get an idea of what we would be working with...

This is his room before...with cute little him (Talmage)

The walls were already painted, one a light denim blue, and the other three just a light neutral tan.  This is the furniture we would be working with, and she told me she was planning on getting new bedding!

So after a little shopping we got together one day...and this is his room after

Painted dresser, new bedding and headboard, and some accessories!

This is the wall his bed was on in the before pics...this is where we got it to that day, and then she added the stars to the shelf later. (pictured below)

These cute letters on the wall are a thin mdf from Hobby Lobby...$1.99 each (unless you can wait, and get them for 1/2 off when all unfinished wood is 50%, and it does that often.)

We mod podged cute sports balls paper and plain cardstock to match the bedding, and hung them with straight pins and painters tape...yes, they are that light, plus bonus...teeny tiny holes in the wall.

Here is the shelf with the cute stars, sports pegs, And, I'm not sure if it's just the picture...but we might need to adjust some of those letters, not sure they're straight, good thing it's just teeny tiny holes! :)

this is the headboard Jolynne made...after I told suggested his bed, and the wall would look better with a headboard. 

 It was sort of a last minute idea, and I told her to google padded headboard...and this is what she made!  She's the best kind of person to help decorate...I tell her to do something, and SHE DOES IT!

She did awesome...

Cost Breakdown:

Bedding $95.00

Brown Paint: $20.00 (and she has "enough left to last for the rest of her life"...hmm, maybe I should go look around the rest of her house and tell her what else to paint! (yes, she is THAT obedient!)

wall decorations, lamp, and accessories: $60

Headboard: wood $10, fabric, $10, buttons $8

Spray paint for dresser handles: her hubby already had in the garage

Making one little boy feel like an ALL STAR...priceless!

So, in case you forgot...

After:

She loves it, he loves it...that's what I call success!
