Girls Room Makeover/DIY

 This whole summer, I worked and finally got our granddaughters bedroom made over and organized like I want it. I was not blessed with the home designer gene, nor do I have a creative mind. I took what I had and rolled with it. 

In their rooms I have play zones. This one is the baby station. They have dolls, and all accessories but it was just jammed in there.  They don't play in there by themselves anyway. They drag everything one at a time to the living room and I came up with the idea of rolling storage drawers and rolling carts. I found the storage drawers in the section where storage tubs and lids are in Walmart. The rolling carts were on  the laundry isle in Walmart. 

 They helped me separate whose things were whose and we organized it all. Each girl has their own drawers and cart now. Some of the pieces like the bed, high chair, stroller, etc. they share. 

It was so much easier for them to roll their things into the living room. We had a play day one day and played daycare center and baby sitting. 😃😉 They love it. 

The next thing I needed to work on was something for all their stuffed animals. They had so many stuffed animals on their bed up against the wall that the granddaughter that sleeps there had no room. So I decided to go vertical. I put the biggest ones above their bed and then I bought two nifty stuffed animal towers and hung them out from the wall using plant hooks. Nifty huh?

This one area was an eye sore and it had a different system but they had outgrown it's baby colors. So I went to Walmart and got two 6 cubed shelving units, put them together and stood them side by side. I bought all the cubby holders from Dollar Tree. I divided them among them and they have their own side. 

This little corner is now the dress up station. I had a three drawer storage drawer in their closet that was empty just begging for me to dig it out so I did. I bought the little mirror from 5 Below and added two lights to each side (not pictured). I got so many ooooohhhs and aaahhhhssss on this one. 😉

It was time to update their bedding for girls and new curtains. I bought a bed in a bag from Ollie's that had a comforter, queen sheet set, two pillow cases and two pillow shams for $29.99. Pictured above. Then I wanted to do something totally different with their curtains. My mom and I went to some thrift stores one day and that's all I was on a hunt for. I prayed before we left and asked God to help me find something.We'll, he did. Not just one but two sets of curtains. The one pictured matched perfectly with their bed set. The other is polka dotted with all different colors that I can use in the summer. I will buy a few sets of new sheets that will match and interchange them. I love the new rod and set up because I wanted to give the window an appearance of being higher. Dear hubby hung it for me. It turned out perfect and they are black out curtains as well. So is the other set. 

I am so pleased with how this turned out and they love it too. Now I just need to organize their drawers and I bought those organizers at Dollar Tree as well. 

Just goes to show,  you can still organize and decorate even if you don't have a creative bone in your body. And you can do it on a budget with functionality.
