My Dad decided that since I was on my way, he better get started on my room. He was going to make this extra room a Nascar/Family room. Good thing he never got that started. He packed up all of the nascar stuff and started building my closet/armoir and wall shelf with another dresser. He also made sure that a window seat was part of the plan. When Mom & Dad started looking at furniture, Dad couldn't believe the prices for what he said was borderline junk furniture.
Soooo, with a few hundred dollars on wood and a couple on carpet...he built and remodeld it himself. Papaw Jeff and Mamaw Fleta (who own a commercial painting company) sent over a guy to do the painting when Dad was all done. He could have done that too but Grandpa knew he was a busy guy and did it as a gift to Daddy.
We got the changing table for $5.oo and the main dresser at Goodwill for $50.00 and Daddy painted them too. The little rocking chair was Mommy's when she was little. Mommy's best friend Donna had the window cushion custom made as a gift. The only big thing costly was the crib and crib accesories. Both of were gifts from both sets of Mommy's parents.
What a great room.........
