My Daughter's Bedroom

So every now and then I get an idea for a project and I can't seem to stop until I go about doing it. However, I am also really good at starting projects and never finishing them. This time I will upload photos in hopes that I'll soon be able to show the finished product.

This time my project is my daughter's room. She is about to turn 12, and is suddenly infatuated with zebra stripes. Of course she's still in love with pink and purple. So, I found this cool old place downtown that buys out massive amounts of stuff from businesses and such. I purchased an old red booth from a restaurant, a set of old gym lockers, and a big heavy old round metal table. Her room is in the basement and unfinished, so we are going to stick with it and go for an industrial look.

Here's the booth. Because the booth is vinyl I had my daughter choose a fabric I could make a slip cover with. Booth: $50

These canvas tubs were $2 each at Wally World...They'll look cute inside some of the lockers. I put my large flokati wool rug in her "living area."

Pink polka-dot chenille: 5 Yards $45

The covered booth! I made it last night...super simple to make a pattern for; one panel of fabric stretched from the back all the way over the front. Then I put the booth on its side and traced around it with a 1.25"  allowance for seams and some give.  I added elastic in the front across the 2 places where the fabric hugs the booth. There is also elastic on the bottom to stretch it tight around the base.

The zebra wall is a concrete unfinished wall. I found a large roll of zebra print plastic that is used to cover long tables. It was on sale for about $7 at Hoby Lobby.

Elastic: $6

Here are the lockers before.

Lockers: $170

I probably paid too much for these...but I really wanted them!
