The Music Room had been pretty much done for a while now but I haven’t posted because I was waiting for THEE.  PERFECT.  PILLOWS.  But alas, I haven’t found them yet so I’m posting without them and I few other details. That might not happen for a while so I wanted to show you the mostly complete Music Room.  It’s nice to have you all there to motivate me to get the job done!  So here are the shots –

Music Room Before –

And after –

Pretty sweet, huh?!  I love it.  Here is a photo of the chairs before we recovered them –

They are my favorite thing about the room!

One thing I’m unsure of is this painting… Here are the before and afters of it.  The frame (which weighs a ton!) I found next to a dumpster.  I painted it with chalkboard paint so the girls can color all over it.  But it seems to “heavy” for the room.

I saw that quote on a blog I like (Shutter Sisters).  I like the thing overall but I just don’t know.  What do you think?

And now for the tally –

Goodwill

Chairs – $15 each

Foot stools – $8 each

Rug – $60

Quilt – $13

Basket – $2

Fabric Store –   This included all the fabric, special buttons and trim – $85

Hardware Store – All spray paint, picture hangers etc. – $27

Upholstery Gun Rental – $10

Grand total – $258!

Not bad for a whole room redo!  It helped that I had the art and the lamp and Lora long-term lent me the table but still!  Plus we found a personal check for $1200 in one of the chairs so I’m way ahead of the game.  Haha!  Just kidding, of course.  Wouldn’t that be great if we found that in cash!!

Happy thrifting!
