Room Makeover!

Lee's little sister Xianna (pronounced like Zianna) had her 12th birthday last saturday the 6th! back in January we decided that she needed a room makeover so she had her own special place! So for the last 2 months Lee and I have been doing just that! His parents provided the money and we provided the labor! Oh boy what a project it was! you can see for yourself why it was such a big pain! not too mention the room itself wasn't square to begin with! But it was fun getting to do whatever I wanted to with the room! on her birthday we had a party and had the grand revealing of her room we had locked her out and she wasn't allowed downstairs until it was finished! It was fun to see her reaction! I've never seen her smile soooo big! she didn't know what to say but you could tell she loved it! It was all worth it seeing her smile like that!

BEFORE......



Her room was in the basement with no ceiling as you can see


she tried decorating her self haha thats what the green spots are on her wall



During....


her new closet lee built for her I mudded all the screw holes while brandon taped and mudded the seams! then me and lee finished mudding the entire room a few days later. I hate mudding.


yay for an actual wall instead of just the concrete from the foundation!



Brandon (lee's friend) taping up the seams :)

After....



Me! the room makeover extraordinare!


Curtains that I made :)




way cute pictures! My sister in law Kandice made them special



Her new closet and the dresser repainted and looking brand new!



gotta love the argyle wall! all my doing thank you very much! it was my masterpiece! I painted it by hand so i didn't have to mess around with tape! I think it turned out pretty darn good!


Her very own ballet studio in her room! complete with a big mirror and bar! we got a great deal on the laminate wood flooring at lumber liquidators it was only 59cents a sqft!!! and the new carpet was free!

what else could you do with a post in your room but decorate it with toulle and lights!!!

Her very own ballet comforter! Custom made by me!


I made her mosquito net above her bed out of curtains and an embroidery hoop! I just attached ribbon to the hoop and hung it from a hook in the ceiling! works like a charm and is cheap and way cute!

The Grand Unveiling of her room caught on Video!
