Justice's Big Reveal

So it's all done. The sewing, shopping, crafting, building and painting. On the big day we packed everything into Pop Pop's pick-up truck and a car and drove it all over. Since Nana helped with some of it and was eager to see Justice's reaction she went with us, while Justice  was at school. Her parents started cleaning out the room before we got there.

I tried to anticipate any install issues ahead of time. The only thing that threw us off was the brackets for the full length mirror for the closet door. Which I do believe I forgot to mention in my accessories post. She wanted a mirror and we found an old unused one in storage in the workshop. It was FREE! Anyway, Pop Pop had to go buy new brackets because the ones we had didn't work with her closet door. Here are the before pictures.

Here we go! As you walk into Justice's room to the left is that large television that we could not get rid of. So we made it work for us by building it up with our homemade bookcase. This also helps to contain some of the zoo animals.

Can't beat it. Build it up.

Those are some large monkeys

Next to the television is one of two windows. We finally get to see the roller shade in all it's glory. We put a few of  Justice's many monkeys to work as well.

Monkeying around

To the right of the window is where we placed the desk. It also takes the place of a nightstand, holding the lamp next to the bed. The small shelf I found was placed above the desk to hold some of the accessories. The monkey art was hung above  and the ottoman cube makes cushy seating.

 

More after the jump!

We then come to the bed. This is where Justice's original bed was placed. I wanted to change it around some, but the room is a little small and it would have thrown off some of the other pieces. So I put it right back where it was. She likes it best there anyway. The fabric/beaded art work was hung over the bed along side some framed prints we already had. The burnt orange rug was placed on the floor. If I had thought about it I would have made the bed differently. I wanted it more tucked in so you could see the upholstered edges. There was a lot going on and I forgot to do that.

To the right of the bed is the second window. We once again employed some of Justice's monkeys.

Next is the refinished dresser.

Weird glare but it looks great in person LOL

A very happy Justice!

The total cost for the entire bedroom was $219.23 I think that we have done a great make over for such a low budget. We had fun and most important, Justice is proud of her personal space. I couldn't be happier.
