the big reveal.

i know. you've been waiting in anticipation for what the room would FINALLY look like. it's understandable, because i feel that way too. but it is FINALLY done. minus finding the changing pad cover, boppy, and another box of clothes somewhere in the garage/shed, i think we're ready. 

forgive my iPhone pictures. i'm far too lazy to go and get my real camera, only to have to upload them onto my computer. apple created a sweet thing with photo stream, that's all i have to say. 

i think i did pretty good with my $100 budget. it was tricky i will have to say. i repainted/reused a lot of what we already had, hence why i needed to add another color, because we have nothing orange. but i love the combination of the orange and blue, so it's really worked out quite nicely.

 the lamp in the photo below we bought from ikea for $20, my crayon art supplies were bought from michael's for $7 and my pom pom's totaled about $8

but this is the room when you walk in. i need to fix the blue pom pom, now that i'm looking at this picture. it looks a little deflated. 

i also need to get another set of curtains for the window because these ones have grommets and just barely cover the windows when extended. i absolutely love them though, bought them from walmart.com for a mere $12 a piece. ahhhh i miss that place. 

 greysen's name cost me $25 total, the letters were $2 a piece and spray paint was $6. The orange frames were originally black, bought from ikea for $3 a piece and painted orange. we had the sheets and the bumper pads, so those were easy peasy. 

because i love pennant flags so much, i needed to make one for his room. and with my coupons and such it only cost me $7 at joann's. score. spray painted the clock next to the closet too with the left over metallic i had, so that was free as well. 

this wall's a little bare right now, due to not having the ability to hang shelving or anything, so i did my best with some printables. we had the frames already, and the paint, so i repainted them and i found the printables online and printed them off, so that was basically free too. 

i think they're so cute. i kind of want to add some more frames, because i like lots, but at the moment i probably won't. maybe when i get bored in the upcoming weeks.

 i think i went a little over budget by about $15 or so, i didn't actually add all of it up though, but i like it a lot. as we go on, i think i'll add more things, like the orange rug i really wanted, and some more things to put on the wall, but my dental school allowance isn't allowing for it at the moment. 

in any case, i like to come in and sit in it right now because it's so cute and peaceful. pretty soon it won't be quite as peaceful but it'll be even cuter with a baby in it. =)
