Callan's room

Well, I can happily say that I'm about 95% done with Callan's room.  Just a few more touches and it will be complete.  It might be a while before I get around to those last touches, so here's a peek at what the room looks like at nearly finished.

But first,
let's take a quick look back at what Callan's room looked like when we moved in.

{BEFORE}

Remember those lovely 1970s intercoms?
Yea, those are GONE {thanks to my father-in-law}.

{BEFORE}

Ok, on to what that formerly purple/grey, dingy room looks like now.



{framed monogram inspired from here, painted CA inspired from here}




{pendant inspired from here}






{US map inspired from here}


{paper airplanes inspired from here}




Left to do in the room:
add a shade to the arched window
add some sort of valance to the other window
buy/make a curtain panel for the closet doorway, and install it
{eventually} replace the carpet or hunt down an {8x10} area rug
paint the door



I think Callan approves.




**{Note: This room was re-done on a ridiculously small budget.
The cost of a can of primer and a can of paint (my parents bought the second gallon of paint), and maybe $15 for maps and fabric.  Everything else we already had - items were repurposed, repainted, and reused.}**
