Better late than never! Can't figure out why the pictures won't go in order, so you'll unfortunately have to deal. I know, I know, I make you wait forever and then I don't do the pictures right.
Someday I'm sure you'll forgive me.

We don't have real nightstands, just these cheap shelf-things.
Someday we'll be grown-up enough for them. |

I bought this little elephant at Savers for $4. It was nasty looking with streaky brown glaze. But I loved him so much I bought him and gave him new life with a can of Krylon. And now it's my favorite part of the room! |

The dresser side. I really like the height the free mirror from my parent's basement added, but I think I want to move the candlesticks a little further south. It would make the tall mirror even more dramatic.
Also, this is my favorite paint color that I've done to date. I'm desperately in love with gray. |

New fan! It only took my poor husband a bajillion hours to put in, thanks to a screw that just wouldn't let go.
It liked the nasty brass fan better. Luckily my smart hubby won that battle. |

I made those little stick things from the abundance of branches I have in my yard, tissue paper, craft glue, and beads. The milk glass vases I had, and the candle was $4 with coupon from Michael's. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself! |

That 8 foot wall of curtains only cost $65! We made the curtain rod out of conduit pipe, wine corks and store-bought finials and mounting brackets (bought on super clearance + coupons at BB&B.)The curtains are actually shower curtains from Target that I no-sewed ribbon loops on. They were slightly pricier than I wanted to spend at $20 a piece (yes, I'm cheap) but I loved them and never found anything else I liked better. But, it was overwhelming to have three panels. It made our tiny room feel very closed in, so I bought the sheer for $5 at K-Mart and was much happier. |

Curtain detail. I absolutely love them. If I didn't have curtains everywhere else,
I might have bought them and put them everywhere.
All in all, we spent $100 on this room, including paint and supplies and all the knick-knacks, but excluding the fan. I'm playing around with the idea of doing a darker gray on the curtain wall, but that's still just an idea in my head. What are your thoughts? |
How pretty! I think if the gray is dark enough, it would really make those curtains pop. Otherwise I think you'd lose them in the wall.
