finally done... for now!

i've finally found the time (and money) to put the final touches on jakey's room and i love the way it's turned out!





{sorry for the lame photo quality... still working on my photography skillz}

this room is proof that you can have a fully furnished room without spending a lot of money!

for example...

these shelves are simply a vinyl rain gutter that i bought at lowe's for $7! tom sawed it in half and then i put end caps on each side! SO easy and such a great alternative to a traditional bookshelf!



also, this chair was another salvation army find! it was only $20 and is brand new! i actually went to a different salvation army and saw the same chair priced at $100 and it's currently for sale at target for $150!



{IT ALSO FOLDS OUT INTO A MINI BED!!!}

there's also lots of little things i did to save money, too! the 'i am a child of god' artwork is just something a made in photoshop, printed it on heavy cardstock and then taped over some fabric that matched the room.

the bedding was cheap too! the bumper was $1.50 from the salvation army. it was originally blue but i ended up dying it brown. the sheet was a wal-mart find. the skirt was also brand new from the salvation army for $2.00. the cute quilt was made by my mother-in-law and the comforter was handmade by my fabulous seamstress {a.k.a. my mom} from some inexpensive fabric!

amd notice the fun green suitcase on top of the dresser? that's my grandpa jakob's that my parents gave us after he died! i love that it's now in MY jakob's room!



and that's that!
