Budget Land of Nod Inspired Girls Room

My daughter and I are so excited to reveal my granddaughters Land Of Nod Inspired Room! While I was visiting my daughter in the frozen tundra of Idaho (seriously it’s like she lives in Alaska it is SOOOO dang cold) We kept busy planning, sewing, and decorating her kids rooms.

Toddler Bed

Madeline bought the toddler bed from Ikea in the “as is” department for only $55.00 and the antique dresser from an estate sale for about $20.00 and her dad added little legs and they painted it white… You can see the before and during pictures here. The polka dots are vinyl! We made them using a cricut machine!

Here is the link to this awesome EASY CHEAP cornice tutorial!!

Paper Garland

Madeline found a tutorial for this garland and made it to hang on Ella’s wall. Here is a link to the tutorial. Madeline also drew a the geometric heart and put it in the octagon gold spray painted shaped frame. The gold deer head was made using a cricut machine. Then she pasted it onto thick white paper and framed it.

Metal Shelving

This metal shelving unit was also found in the IKEA “as is” section for only $7.00! Madeline spray painted it gold and it adds the perfect place to display things that are special to my granddaughter. Madeline is seriously the deal finder! 

Fun Details in the Land Of Nod Inspired Girls Room

Don’t you love this little sparkly gold Christmas tree! This was purchased at Target in last years after Christmas sale. Ella uses it as her night light. I think that is such a sweet way to light up a dark room at night. 

Thrift Store Finds

The chair, lamp and gold frame are all thrift store finds. The big white canvas is getting ready to be painted by Madeline and her daughter to make a cherished heirloom piece.

You can shop this post below to get certain items like the comforter, octagon mirror, A cute white side chair and few other similar items.

 

We had so much fun pulling this room together and can’t decide which part is our favorite! Let us know in the comments what you love the best!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
