Harry Potter Haunted Bedroom

In honor of Halloween, I'm showing off the Harry Potter bedroom that has recently been dismantled to make room for the sports room (pictures on that later).  This was a great theme we did on an amazing budget.  I picked up the bedding and throw pillows at a garage sale, then kept my eyes peeled for accessories that worked with the theme.  It's amazing what you can find once you have an idea in place.
The lamps were also a garage sale find.  Wrought iron curled like a spell had been placed on them.  We found the stack of books (really a clever treasure box) at another yard sale.  And the chilly accessories you see on the magic shelves came straight from an upscale home decor store, but I picked them up on the 75% off after-Halloween sale.  The curtains were purchased as separate sets of panels in the famed Griffindor colors that I paired together.
Finally, the headboards were my husband's brilliant brainchild.  He found plastic gates at the Habitat for Humanity store (where new and used items are donated) and welded brackets so that they would attach to the bedframes.  He also hung the Hedwig--which is really just a throw pillow--from the ceiling using chain from a hardware store.

The overall effect is a happily haunted hideout with a price tag of just under $200.
