I mentioned in my last post that once Alexia's room was done, Megan was ready for her room to be redone. She mentioned that she wanted a Dora room, so I had planned to head out this past weekend for some Dora decor. However, last Wednesday I was able to shop at the consignment sale I participate in each season and I hit the Dora Jackpot.
So, on Wednesday evening (while the girls were at Scrimmage), I quickly added all of the Dora treasures I picked up at the sale so that Megan would have a nice surprise waiting for her when she came home.
Here's the finished project (and the incredible savings from the sale)
$5.00 for a new comforter...
$6.00 for a Dora chair... (and a bin of Dora toys, books, dolls, etc that we already had)
$3.00 for a Dora alarm clock...
An entire new room for less than $20...Awesome...my mom has trained me well :)
Now, back to that comment ~ As Megan was playing with her Dora guitar tonight, she turned to me and said..."Mommy, I think I want a Tinkerbell Room." I laughed out loud and said that it would be a while before we would be able to redo her room again...well...I guess it will at least be on hold until the Spring Consignment Sale :)
Oh man, when Emily sees Megan's room she is going to flip out! I got her Dora pajamas at the same consignment sale and she was the happiest girl on the planet. I also got her a Dora backpack, which I'm saving to give her as a reward for getting through these next 2 weeks of feeling terrible. Somehow a backpack doesn't seem like enough for what she must go through, but I'm pretty sure that she will be pretty pleased with it :) Great job on Megan's room - it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe room looks great... And when you do re-do it you can sell at JLNK.... But at her age she will change her mind at least 4 times a year.... You did good Dear...
