WEEK 6 ORC: THE REVEAL

Assalamualaikum & good day,

Alhamdulillah :) The reveal day is finally here. It's an accomplishment to be proud of to all the linking participants. Thanks Linda at the Calling It Home for hosting the challenge, a catalyst for us to complete our home makeover. I spent MYR230 or USD76 for this project, less than what I budgeted. Hooray! I leave the details of the expenditure at the end of the post. Now is time to see how the room has transformed into :)

Before & after

Let me remind you, how the room looks before,


A lot of potential :) After 1/2/3/4/5-week of continuous TLC, and props, you're greeted with this view when you enter the room.

1) The study desk is fitted with a medium size mirror. A night lamp is clamped on the desk. 

2) Next to the desk, are shelves to store Adik's books and toys. 

3) The wall on the right are covered partly with wallpaper and world map. 

4) There're frames to hang arts, poems, motivational quotes, etc. 

5) I put a flowery clock on the wall on the left side of the room. To balance the empty space, I put triangular shapes randomly on the wall. 

What next?

There're still few things to do. The major one is the toy-car display. I also want to add labels to the baskets and containers. Lastly, I'm so glad, I join the One Room Challenge. So looking forward to the next challenge in October. 

Okay, one last photo :)
