Big Boy Room!

Well, since poor Evan never got a proper nursery due to his sudden arrival and since the girls' room was already decorated for Miriam, I decided to give Evan his big boy room instead of doing a nursery for Katie.  So after almost 2 years, Evan finally has a room just for Evan (it was also a guestroom in its previous life).

The theme is "Transportation" and the breakdown goes like this:

• Primary-color Furniture (bed frame/headboard, desk & chair, and shelf) - $50, used from friend
• Fabric to re-cover chair & make two curtains - $7
• Dresser - free from neighbor
• Hardware to make dresser gender neutral - $17
• Paint to cover gold on dresser - free, re-appropriated from other project
• Multi-color ceiling fan - free, already in room
• Mattress - new, $100
• Box-spring for bed - free, was mine growing up
• Canvas to cover torn bottom of box-spring - free, re-appropriated from other project
• Bed skirt to cover rest of old box-spring - $12
• "Transportation" theme sheets - new off ebay, $17
• Train blanket - gift from Mimmi
• Bed-rail - free, off freecycle
• "Transportation" rug - free, off freecycle
• Pattern for wall murals - free, created myself off of online pictures
• Paint/brushes for wall murals -  free, re-appropriated from other project

I think I did pretty good if I do say so myself! :)  Have a look see.
