Under $300 Bedroom Makeover | Mr. Kate Decorates on a Budget - Summary

Summary

The video is a step-by-step guide to decorating a bedroom on a budget. The host, Mr. Cake, and his friend Alex are working within a $300 budget to transform Alex's bedroom. They start by identifying items that can be repurposed or reused, such as the bed, boxspring, dresser, and a chest that can be repurposed as a bedside table. They also plan to repaint the dresser and replace the old lamp and bedding.

They then set off to shop for new items, starting with a bed frame, comforter, sheets, and accessories. They also need a quart of paint and artwork. They visit several stores, including thrift stores and a hardware store, to find affordable items. They also use Google Assistant to help them with their shopping list.

During the shopping trip, they find a bed frame for $20, a Parisian Eiffel Tower sculpture, and a lamp. They also find a piece of wood that Joey will use to make a drafting table. They buy a piece of canvas for $6 and a frame for a print. They also find a comforter on clearance and a throw pillow.

Back in the room, they start painting the wall with a quart of paint to create a headboard effect. They also sand and paint the drawers of the dresser. They then start creating a shelf from the excess paint and a piece of wood.

Finally, they hang a canvas with a print on the wall and use a piece of plastic to cover the area they don't want spray-painted. They spray paint the wall gold and use the plastic to cover the rest of the wall. They then hang the canvas with the print on the wall and frame it with the thrift store frame.

The final result is a beautifully decorated bedroom with a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The host and Alex are thrilled with the result and express their pride in their work.
