For her room we kept things pretty simple, using a lot of what we already had, re-purposed different items and purchased only a few select new ones. We didn’t have a specific budget for this room, but we knew we wanted to keep the budget low and the room simple + beautiful. I think we accomplished exactly that!
Mike and I started by painting the once pink ceiling back to white and added the shiplap-like accent wall. We created the accent wall using 1/4 inch plywood ripped into 6 inch wide strips. We didn’t fill the nail holes as we wanted to keep all the imperfections of the wood. Our biggest debate was paint color. We went back and forth whether we were going to flip the wall colors: paint the shiplap the green and the rest of the room white. We’re so happy with our choice as the color on the walls makes the room so cozy!
Olivia’s windows really needed curtains and what I wanted was more than what we wanted to spend. I ended up purchasing IKEA curtains for $9.99 per set of two panels and picked up black pom pom trim from Hobby Lobby where I was able to use a 40% off coupon. I did a basic stitch on my sewing machine attaching the trim to each side of a panel. Compared to $100 per panel, ours cost us a total of $12.25 per panel. A great little DIY to save tons while still getting the look we wanted!
The show stopper in Olivia’s room aside from the accent wall and my favorite piece is the beautiful Darling My Darling print. A fellow high school classmate and friend of mine, Ashley DuBois, created this print for her sweet daughter’s nursery. She very graciously shared her gorgeous art and I’m so thankful because it makes Olivia’s room.
The last piece we want to add to Olivia’s room is crown molding. We haven’t been able to knock this off our to do list due to our current schedule, but hopefully we can cross this off the list very soon! We are so in love with her room and we would do it all over again! The total cost of her room came in just under $225 which mainly included paint, plywood for the wall, curtains, trim, and few a accessories such as her wall hooks and framed wall art!
