The key to minimizing credit-card damage is to update, rotate and hunt for a bargain. Almost everything in the room was bought at garage sales and the furniture cost around $220 all up.
Before
The bed also acts as a sofa and the lightweight throw is good for afternoon naps. I also added two big cushions to work as a headboard with small cushions to prop up the head when reading. The curtains are a similar tone to the walls to increase the sense of spaciousness. The floor lamp is placed between the bed and the desk, and can swing between the two.

Special touch
I turned an old wooden cutlery box into a welcome gift filled with photos of our family and placed it on a bedside table. I’m really pleased with the result. It’s a very personal gift and a lovely addition to the room. As good as it gets!
One advantage of this room is its south-facing aspect, so it doesn’t get the afternoon sun. Instead, it enjoys wonderful tree-filtered light all day.The only brand-new addition to the room is this custom ceiling light. It fills the room with a warm glow and its soft light is reflected everywhere. It’s a little touch of glamour in a softly feminine interior.
Dressing area 
With the addition of a few recycled jars for storage, floral-patterned cloth linings in the drawers and a vase of fresh flowers, the room offers the welcoming ambiance of a boutique hotel.Essentials
A carafe of water, fresh towels and toiletries, a laundry basket and plenty to read.Spoil mom
Scented candles fill the room with a subtle fragrance; a shaggy rug to keep cold feet warm and a straw hat for walking along the beach just two minutes from the front door.

We tried very hard to create a space that would make her feel at home, but most of all, a place where she can express herself and call her own.
