I am a decorator by profession, so I decorated everybody else’s room instead of my own. I decided it was my turn.

I already had the wallpaper (BOGOF @ $1.00 per roll, yeah me!) and the border (BOGOF @ $.50 per roll, yeah me!) I bought a comforter with matching curtains at a garage sale ($5.00, yeah me!). I bought 2 antique lamps (priced at $80 a piece, I paid $35. for both, Yeah me!) I already had items that I loved, but didn’t hang them because the wallpaper wasn’t done.

Anyway, my daughter and I went to work. She was learning how to wallpaper and we were spending quality time together. We finished the job, rearranged the furniture and hung pictures. The bedroom is absolutely beautiful!  I now have a sitting area that I can have my devotions and alone time. I received a reed diffuser for Christmas and I am amazed at how it infuses the room with scent. The end result is priceless! I can head down the hallway and know that my room is beautiful just by the inviting aroma!

All I have left is to make my tree for behind my bed.  I already have the items needed:  bushes, pvc pipe, spray paint, can, plaster of paris and basket.  I can’t wait!
