This post is the result of a comment from mamasmercantile.blogspot.com/ about our wardrobe in the background of my last post, Some people might have seen this before but we have updated the bedroom with some wallpaper so i thought i might do a breakdown of the cost to prove you dont need to spend a fourtune by using what you already have or buy from car boot and jumble sales.
you dont have to go without to have a nice home , I love all the pale colours of painted shabby chic furniture and the the very pretty pink , whites and pastel colour interioours but Trends Date so quick so i prefer to create an indavidual to me look that hopefully wont date , To be honest if it does i don't care f it does anyway as i have never been a trend follower

Sorry about the blurry photos the light in our bedroom this time of year is either to dark or to light.
The Bedroom.
The Wardrobes are our daughters wardrobes that dave made years ago, we bought with us from our old house.
Originally they were stained pine but i wanted something different
The red paint was reduced at Aldi a couple of years ago to 99p.
I always buy a stock of paint if i see it reduced dramatically anywhere as it always comes in.
We just bought one roll of wallpaper to paper the doors and give them a unique look.
I love bold florals and this paper on the walls was only £7.99 from the range.
Our friend mel gave us the bed and Dave made the frame for the Embroidery and the pair chest of drawers years ago too so we didnt buy new just used what we have .
The curtain rail is not high enough it needs to be moved.
