Take a Tour: The Girls Bedroom (Closet)

 

Total $6

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a work in progress!  We have all 4 girls sharing the same room.  They refuse to sleep apart from each other (oh...how cute!).  But...this makes their room a challenge.  Things can get pretty dangerous in a short amount of time.  If you have girls you know what I mean.  Being extremely busy also makes getting projects done (like the girl's room) a challenge, so I do what I can here and there.  I want to keep their room simple....no, I need to keep their room simple or it looks like a hurricane dropped in for a play date. 

1.  We removed the closet doors to create more space in the room.

DOOR REMOVAL = FREE

2.  I put up a "window treatment" on their closet to hide the junk on the upper closet shelf.   

I used the curtain rod from their window. 

"WINDOW TREATMENT" = $2 (Goodwill-Dollar Day)

3. I created a desk area using interlocking cubes and the side railing of a bed frame.  The bed frame was free & I had everything I needed to put it together.

DESK TOP = FREE

CUBES = $4 (Garage Sale)

CUSTOM DESK TOTAL = $4

4. The desk needed storage so I used plastic tubs I already had. 

I put numbers on the boxes because 

each child has an assigned number-assigned by birth order.  

I found the number stickers in a pile of free stuff left out on some one's sidewalk.
STORAGE = FREE

5. The girls needed something to sit on so I made a bench that would fit under the desk when not in use. 

I already had all the materials needed for the project.

CUSTOM BENCH = FREE

GIRL'S ROOM CLOSET:

"Window treatment" = $2

Custom desk = $4

Storage bins = FREE

Custom bench = FREE

TOTAL = $6

This is what it is so far. 

I have plans to do more as time permits. 

You will see posts about their room (in the future).

The Girl's Room...to be continued!
