The bedroom redo - Part 2 (giveaway has ended)

This giveaway event is now over.
Winners will be announced shortly.
Thank-you for entering!

Yay, you made it here! Did you see Part 1 of the new bedroom series? Let's get on with it!

Tadaaaa! Here's my surprise headboard... it's a real authentic horsegate! Oh yes it is... I'm brinin' that dream barn right into my own bedroom. :)

I've had the gate in my front entry for several years and loved it! But, well, a new challenge that was set before me made me do it. (I can't say no to challenges...)

The deal - Apartment Guide, which is a US listings service for apartment and home rentals,  challenged me with:

 "DIY on a Dime: Easy Design Projects for Every Space"

 A decor "hack" type project - re-doing or upgrading a centerpiece or some antique item, thrifted object, IKEA furniture, etc. in your home with a $100 budget. 

Under $100? You're on! :)

Not many can purchase a brand new headboard for under $100 plus I wanted more than just a headboard... I want the whole room done! So I'm going for the full meal deal... I'm gonna give my WHOLE BEDROOM a new look for under $100 even though the sponsored part of this challenge is really about the bed. Can I do it? We shall see. :)

There we go, now we're talkin'! Feel better, boyfriend? :)

So... as a thank-you for your undying patience as we work into the other parts in this series, as part of the kickoff Apartment Guide and I want you to have a chance to go shopping!

Up for grabs is a $50 Home Depot gift card! 

Want a chance to win? Here's how...

 1. Tell me a dream room element you want to buy in comments below and you're in!

May the Home Depot force be with you! :)
