Bling for my Room

Today I am going to show you my little “splurge” for my room.

I have tried to be really thrifty with my spending for my master bedroom makeover.

I sold my other bedroom suite on Craig’s list for $700.00, so that is the budget for this makeover.

(Click on each picture to see each project.)

So far I have spent:

$210 for my dresser

$90.oo for my armoire

$100.00 on bedding

$36 for my (velcro) burlap bedskirt

And now to add some “bling” to the room, I spent $140 dollars at Lowe’s on this little cutey…

I have never had a chandelier in my bedroom before, so I am still getting used to the “fanciness” of it. But I really do like it and so does my hubby.

I was trying to add a little silver/mercury glass into the room, and this really helped. But I am still having a hard time “swallowing” the 140 dollars I spent on it.

What do you think? Was it worth it?

I really wanted to find an old chandelier that I could paint or something, but I didn’t have any luck finding what I was looking for. Thus, my splurge.

Which brings my total spending to $576. I still have about $125 dollars left for my makeover.

Which is not a lot considering a need side tables for both sides of my bed, some lamps, and accessories for the walls.

I am trying to “shop” my house and use what I have for the rest of the makeover. I’ll be honest, it’s not easy.

My goal is to have my room completed by April 26th when I am taking place in a fun event here in blogland.

Say a prayer that I don’t lose my sanity in the process! (And that my husband doesn’t either. Hee. Hee.) :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for another great giveaway from one of my awesome sponsors!

I met her at Blissdom, and she really IS awesome!
