Before & After (Room Makeover for my niece)

So my niece lives in my brother's basement. You walked down the stairs and this was the first thing you'd see. Turn right and that's the laundry room.. Turn left and...

this is her room.. Boring AF. No privacy and she didn't mind but my brother's been wanting to build a wall to separate the rooms but he's a hard worker and doesn't have the time.

She had bedsheets and pillows but I was taking things down to start this revamp and almost forgot to take before pics...

She lives primarily with her mother and my brother has her on the weekends so she doesn't really have a bunch of stuff here.

AFTER PICS!
Now when you walk down the stairs and turn left, that's the curtain I put up to separate the room. It's a quick fix and super cheap!

I bought her this mirror and vanity the past two Christmases so here it is finally out of the box! I painted the walls myself and that's my writing in grey.

Now her bed is super comfy and girly!

Added some candles and hung the curtains closer to the window so she can utilize the shelf near the window.

I always loved seeing DIYs where they added twinkle lights with curtains and now I finally got to try it out. Super fuckin easy! Hooks, lights, curtain rod and translucent curtains. Done.
They already had the pedicure machine but had it stored in a corner being useless. (see pic 1) now it's like she's got her own salon down there.

Side by side comparisons

She loves her new space now.

I went down there the other day when I visited and she put up pictures and uses her vanity and now has more of her stuff there. My brother helped a lot during this process and he was so happy to finally be able to give her her own space. She's 20yrs old, in nursing school and volunteers a lot. Super good kid her whole life.

Definitely overdue but finally done.
