Project One: Almost Complete!

I've been wanting to share with you our progress so far and can't wait until it's finished as there are a few jobs that will have to wait until after Christmas now. I need to put in a panel under her window to paint or paper and add blinds/curtains. I also have plans to paint her wardrobe door next summer. I guess we can never be truly finished with a project can we?

Anyway so far it is all painted and most of the furnishings and accessories are in (of course until I find more!) I added the bed canopy which was £7.50 from IKEA to make the bed a bit more exciting. The bed itself was a bargain a few months back, just £10 from a charity shop so we just had to buy a mattress. The bedding I reviewed on my other blog a few months back from BabyFace UK (You can read the review here). I bought the Toadstool Cushion from Asda for just £6. I also bought the hanging to tidy for £3 from IKEA again along with the pretty paper ceiling decorations which were £10 each. I have found them much cheaper online since! The Expedit shelving unit is another old buy. We've been using it to store toys since Gracie was a baby, they hold so much and look great too with a large range of coloured boxes. The shelving unit in white is just £20 and the boxes are £2.50 each. The Wigwam is another review item this time from Garden Games Ltd and it costs just £48.95, the review will be available shortly. Oh and the cute fairy lights were a bargain from B&M reduced to £2.99! (Please ignore the window area! It is in the process of being done).




I have a few plans for some fun crafts to make some nice accessories for her bedroom which we will be making sometime in the new year, including some handmade fairies to hang from the ceilings and a knitted patchwork blanket which I have already started knitting squares for! Also the Bench pictured (in front of window) is going to be upcycled, it is currently being used as a dressin up box and just needs prettying up!

So the room is very almost finished! What do you think?
