Fall 2009 Project - Bedroom Part 1

I'd originally planned to wait until I got my "big" paycheck next week, but I was working Ira through Target, and couldn't help but pick up a 'few' things..

I was excited to find an cheaper substitute to the baskets I'd desired to get from PB Teen. These baskets are meant for the Itso Storage System Target has developed, but they are perfect for under the bed storage!

Fabric Storage Bin - Khaki (Medium)

I have found it!

Sears.com



Kohls.com

I like both of them, but am leaning more towards the grey set I believe.......just seems a little more mature. ;-)

Fall 2009 Project

Since I'm "skipping" this semester, and will be working 40+ hours a week, I decided I needed something to do.

This is my house. Or the place I am "renting" from my parents. I have lived her since January, and it has provided adequate shelter from the heat/cold/rain etc..etc.. And I've bought somethings to kind of spruce it up, but never had the $$$ to do anything major.

I don't really have that much more now, but we'll see how far it'll stretch.

This house has 5 seperate rooms: Kitchen, Living Room, Bedroom, Another Bedroom/Study and a bathroom. Probably built in the early 1500 this house is ...what you call lacking a lot of qualities most modern day houses have. Some include (but are not limited too): level floors, closest, up to date electricity, windows that open....

BUT. For right now, I'm living here rent free. So I try not too complain.... too much.

The first room I have my sights on is my bedroom, as I feel its the room I know what I want it too look like it.

• The bed spread HAS GOT TO GO. I've had that for about 5-6 years, so its time for something else. I'm thinking pinks, greens, colors similar to what I have but, bolder I think. Despite searching all day, I haven't found one I've really liked.
  

• Nightstand probably will go its own way as well, and get a table.

• The Crates- Replacing the smaller crates with wire ones, as I think they look better and fold smaller!! And matching crate pads instead of a bundle of blankets....

• Poster needs to say good bye: Photos blown up I think...of what? Probably my dogs :)

• CURTAINS!!! :)

• Under the bed baskets. {One of the few affordable things from PB Teen!}
  

Would love to replace the carpet but I don't see that happening anytime soon, as I'll have to deal.
Paint! Something Creaminess I think,also shelves for my stuffed animal collection. I used to keep them on the floor..until I got Texas; and another lamp as wellll....

...I think that about cuts it for starters!!

I Believe I can do this without breaking the bank as well!! Now to find "ThE" Bedspread....
