So, I painted (less than a quart of paint needed, I used leftover paint from my son's room) $0, and bought a wooden border for the window and painted it white $10, bought a collage frame from Amazon $9, replaced the bare light bulb with a fixture we took from the kitchen (we out a fan light in there) $0, and used a shelf and some other frames that weren't in use, plus made a curtain out of some leftover fabric. Hung the laundry baskets on he wall with simple hardware $5. Put down carpet remnants $0...It feels so much nicer!
