Makeover

I promised Stephanie last month that if she decluttered her room and kept it tidy until half term we would decorate. She succeeded  in the challenge. On Wednesday we went to B&Q where she chose a patterned wallpaper and a matching paint. Yesterday we took all of her belongings out of the bedroom except for the bed frame and wardrobe and pulled up the carpet. First job;

I am so pleased that my trusty old steamer works as half an hour later the wall looked like this;

Two coats of paint and two rolls of wallpaper, and an age shunting Stephanie's belongings back in their new homes and the bedroom now looks like;

Stephanie absolutely loves it, and I am pretty impressed too.

It does still need a new carpet but that needs to wait until I have saved some more.

Total costs so far:

2x tubs of paint £20 (2 for £20 offer)

2x rolls of wallpaper £22 (£11 each on sale)

Wall paper paste £5.12

Total:£47.12

I had a total of £45 in my quidco account so that pretty much covered Stephanie's room. Good job really as I am having the car door repaired on Tuesday which is costing £220 and the hoover broke whilst we were cleaning so I will need to dip into my savings to get a new one tomorrow. Always seems to be something doesn't there!
