Hello! :) How are you doing today? How was your weekend? We had an amazing weekend that including apple picking!! That is one of my favorite things to do EVER!!! We had a blast.
I showed you a couple recent posts of our house changes and then was inspired to do a whole home tour.
Today, is my daughter, Grace's room! Her name is in my blog name after all, hehe!
The first room in our house to paint use our daughter's, room. I always wanted a pink girl's room and so did Grace. I was even more excited to find the perfect color paint in the "oops" section of Lowes paint department...SCORE!
I am also proud to say that I didn't have to buy even one item at full-price in her whole room. Actually, it was all second hand or "new" from the Goodwill.
Her room is simple and girly! I bought this bookshelf 9 years ago from a garage sale and we painted it white.
These baskets are also from a garage sale and are great for storage.
Again, this basket was from a garage sale for a dollar and again... great for storage!
Her American Girl dolls were actually mine when I was a girl.
I saved a lot of my old things for her.
I just love these Pottery Barn Tins that I bought at a garage sale. They are the cutest and she loves to keep her little "collectables" in them.
I love all the bedding! She actually had 2 sets that we rotate. We pillow and blanket (not used in photo) are Pottery Barn that I got from my neighbor. She LOVES stuffed animals! Pillow Pets are the favorite!!! Her comforter on the bed is also from our neighbor and it is Laura Ashley.
Her shelf (actually a mantel shelf) is from a garage sale for $15 and I placed sweet flowers ($1 each) and some photos of her on it. (The frame are also from a garage sale.)
I am not kidding when I said that EVERYTHING was second hand!!
We got married at 19 and bought this house when we were 23 so didn't have have any money left for furniture and things without using credit. (We hate credit!!!)
This little dresser was $5 and I painted it white. The tall standing lamp is Pottery Barn and was $15 from a GS (garage sale). The other lamp was a gift from my Mom and the frames, baby crib, and chair were also from garage sales.
Her nightstand was mine as a girl and her bed was my sister's.
I bought this Pottery Barn kitchen set for $30 from a garage sale and the little, white, doll clothes cabinet was from my Grandma.
Also, her curtain was from a garage sale and rod and holdbacks were from the Goodwill. She also has Pottery Barn flower rugs that I bought from a garage sale for 50 cents each... I know...CRAZY!
So, there you go!!
You can totally decorate your home without spending a lot of money!
It takes time to put together a whole room from garage sale shopping and you might not find exactly what you were looking for but I am happy with how it turned out, Grace LOVES, and we saves a whole lotta $$$!!!
Do you shop second hand? What is the best deal you found?
Have a great day!
xoxo,
Bonnie :)
it's very cute Bonnie. You always seem to score some great deals at garage sales.
ReplyDeletelove her room. so girly and fun. i love all the crisp white too. love her bed as well. i love finding a good deal second hand. i always look there first when shopping to decorate rooms.
ReplyDeleteHer room is lovely! I agree you always find good items. I think it depends on where you live ~ I never find anything very good in our neck of the woods. Our thrift stores never seem to have anything good either....
ReplyDeleteHer room has such a gentle and peaceful feel, it's so pretty! I just had to share that I also had a lot of American Girl dolls. Samantha was my favorite.:) I still have them all too and planned on passing them down to my girls but I have ALL BOYS.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Super cute, and I love to be thrifty. Now I want to go out and redo the girls rooms!
ReplyDeleteI love that you repurposed so many things. And the Pottery Barn rug for $.50, seriously...that is a great deal! I also like that you handed down your dolls and furniture. So sweet! I love purchasing used as well, although I don't do it very often. My best score was a reproduction mirror...I bought it for $39 on Craigslist and it turned out to be worth thousands. I'll never sell it though; I just "liked it".
ReplyDeleteWhat is the paint color on the walls? i'm having the HARDEST time picking a color for my daughter's room and LOVE the one you used!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI see now that you said it was an "oops" ... if it wasn't an actual color they typically have, do you mind giving me the color values so i can get them to recreate it? thanks again!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! :-) I still have my AG dolls, too (plus a new one. Ha) including Samantha, with her sailor dress.
