I have a lot to catch up on since I have been putting this blog off for so long ! So this week was my moms birthday . I only have one sister and she lives in Maryland . She randomly decided to come down to AZ for a quick 2 day visit and surprise my mom ! How sweet is that ! . My mom was so happy when Teyanna showed up at the restaurant , it all turned out perfectly . She was able to stay with me, which I was so happy about since I have 2 spare bedrooms that need to be cleaned and fixed up and this was just the kind of motivation I needed. (: SO with less then one week to get it finished along with a pretty limited budget I set out to decorate this bedroom .
Before , gross wall color , cheap ... broken blinds ... no decorations ... all I had to work with was an old sewing desk that I picked up at a garage sale about 6 months ago that needed some serious TLC and a full mattress . I was fortunate enough to have an amazing lady from the wives club give me a box spring for the mattress for free !! yeah
After !! Nothing fancy but I loved the way it turned out . First things first, I painted it an off white , no more gross chocolate milk brown !! I sanded and stained that old desk and it was such a cute addition . I got some drapes, a quilt, a lamp, rug, cute milk jug for flowers , a decorative pillow , a clock that is above the bed, and made a head board out of some pallets that my hubby got from his work !

I also made a mirror out of the same pallets to match the head board . I spray painted both of them and sanded them down .

That is it !! I am so glad to be done with that and i am happy to have a nice clean guest be
