Our daughters room is nearly done

NB: Warning this is long with pics :)

Since we rent we can't do much to this place , but we are lucky that the landlord will let us do a lot. We are allowed to put nails etc up. So I have done our daughters room up as her birthday present last year.

She used to share with her brother and we used this room as a study. But since she is growing into a young lady asked if she could have her own room. Moving was out of the question so we changed rooms around, we moved our son into our old room and we moved into theirs and put our computers in the bedroom as ours was now the larger room and our daughter has the study. It is small and have to walk threw it to the toilet and it still needs a few things done but she is happy with it so far. We have De- cluttered 2 shopping bags of things to the bin and 6 items to the op shop. We still have her desk draws to sort and paint the top of her desk(going to paint it pink and add stickers) and a couple of other things. 

We did all this on a very small budget, you can get bargains if you look for them.
