The Room Thrift Built

The nester is having a "Price my Space" party. Check it out! My whole guest bedroom/studio was built by thrift. Doesn't studio sound more interesting than sewing room or guest room. I was telling my sister that this was the only girly space in my house. This is my refuge and probably the least used space in the house. That should say something. I didn't want to invest a whole lot of money in here. Hey, I live with the two man wrecking crew. Here is a little tour of the room:

Dresser was given to me by a neighbor. The mirror was purchased but the frame was found at a garage sale and repainted The rusted sifter was found by my hubby and holds my sewing scissors and whatnot's. I did purchase the rusty scale for $15. The spools of thread are in a ice bucket with the initial "H".

Everything with arrows was basically thrifted or re-purposed with the exception of the cutting table. The shutters were repainted with OOPS paint.

The wall above the bed needs some work. I would like a headboard and maybe some plates above the bed. The bed was a barter of babysitting services for the bed. The sewing table doubles as a night stand when I have company.
