To Bed I Said.

I am a slacker. I will admit this here and now. A few (ok many) months ago I redecorated my bedroom and never posted pictures of it like people had asked me too. I spent probably no more then $2,500 on the whole thing, which is actually quite amazing when you think about it. I knew I wanted Purplish-Greyish walls and Grey bedding, as well as a fabric headboard. From those requirements it snowballed into this. I'm still not finished with it, but It looks pretty good for being almost complete.  Here is a rough estimate of everything and where it came from.

Brocade Home Crushed Velvet Headboard and Draperies: $210 (The company donated the items to a local Habitat For Humanity Store. Jackpot)
Target Coverlet, Shams, Pillows and 500 Thread Count Sheets: $225 (The Sheets feel the same as the $300 Restoration Hardware Ones I almost got. The only thing, These are Made in Asia, Restoration's are made in Italy.)
West Elm Night Stands, Shelves and Dresser: $1,699 (Investment pieces. I put it on a West Elm Credit Card that had no interest no payments for a year and got $125 gift card in return.)
Moroccan Lanterns: Free (From one of the many Charity Ball's thrown in Nashville. I snagged them For free back in high school (7 years ago) and my stepfather wired them. *Fun Fact: Tommy Lee has the same ones if you ever saw MTV Cribs)
Target Table Lamp Bases and Restoration Hardware Shades: $90
Various Mirrors: Free (I painted them silver, they had all previously came from stores like TJ Maxx)
Paint: $35
Accessories: $30
Total: $2,289



There's a window to the left as well, I just couldn't fit it in one Picture.
