A while back my daughter, Beth, and her fiance, Matt, wanted to re-do Matt’s youngest sister’s bedroom. Matt’s youngest sister, Hannah, is now a teenager, and has since outgrown her little girl’s light blue bedroom with a flower border. I wish we had a picture of the room before, but we didn’t get a chance to take one. Hannah wanted to change her room into a more elegant and classic feel. Hannah chose a greyish-blue tone from the Valspar collection at Lowe’s, as well as Olympic Premium Interior latex paint with gloss finish for the trim and doors. She was all set!
Matt, Beth, and Matt’s other sister, Tara, began taking off the wallpaper, which thankfully came off pretty easily. The wiped down the walls and then applied the primer. Matt, Beth, and Tara rolled while I trimmed. The color was beautiful,and the white glossy finish trim really made it look elegant. Hannah was so excited about her room, but she definitely needed a new light fixture. She had asked about a chandelier, so Beth and I went out looking for some. The cute ones, of course, were too expensive for our budget. The cheapest chandeliers at Lowe’s were even out of our budget. It just so happened that Beth and I came across a little chandelier at Essex (the bargain hunt store, haha, we love bargains) in Cookeville. It was the perfect little chandelier! It was white with clear crystals, and the price was perfect! The retail price of the chandelier is almost $79.99, but thankfully we only paid $25! I love a good bargain!
The chandelier came from a company out of New York called Tadpoles that specializes in bedding, room decor, and accessories for children. So even though this chandelier was probably meant for a nursery, it fit perfectly in Hannah’s room, and she loved it!
