Time for another Fantastic Feature, today it’s Cassie from Hi Sugarplum.
As you know, I’m in the middle of decorating my boy’s room, so Cassie’s spruced up space couldn’t be better timed! I do love an inspiring makeover done on a budget !

“It seems like only yesterday I was decorating my son’s nursery, but now he’s nine, so it was time to kiss the ‘sweetness’ good-bye. While he was visiting his grandparents for two weeks, we surprised him with a room makeover suitable for a big guy. And the best part is, by using items from our house, updating his existing stuff, and shopping smart….the total bill for the room came to under $300!

After:
Don’t you love the bold orange and brown stripes behind the bed? That’s a ‘wow factor’ indeed ! Cassie revamped her boy’s dresser (read all about it here), recovered corkboards in burlap and a map, and made curtains out of drop cloths ~ this room is perfect for a nine year old boy. Bravo Cassie ! The full story of the transformation can be read over at Cassie’s blog Hi Sugarplum, plus don’t miss the expression on her son’s face at the reveal ! PRICELESS !!
Coming up next, the winners of the last two giveaways will be announced, plus one reader’s question will be answered, so stay tuned !!

This is just gorgeous. I love the stripes and that fantabulous little gallery wall. I bet Cassie’s son is loving it.

Wow! Such an inexpensive way to add punch to a room.. Love that striped wall.
Oh how I love this space! Very cool for a 9 year old! The stripes are perfect!
TOTAL awesomeness!!!!! LuV it!!!
Happy Tuesday:)
Love the colors and the designs. It’s definitely youthful but not childish…leaves a lot of room for the kids to grow into the room and beyond.
Well done!
I love the color combo. It’ll still be a great room well into his teenage years.
P.S. THere’s still time to enter our give away.
Love this! I went over to her site too…AMAZING! And I loved the look on her son’s face when he saw it!
That is one fabulous bedroom! Thanks so much for sharing Kate!
Love the makeover! It looks so “grown up” now. Thanks for the peek!
That wall truly is fantastic. I am putting it in a file on my computer for future reference.
Thanks for the idea.

I love this. The stripes are great, and this room will actually age very well with a 9-year-old. My son would have enjoyed this room all through high school.
The striped wall is fantastic. It’s such a sophisticated space now, and it will totally grow with him. Love it.
