Host Joan Steffend and designer Susie Burke redo an 11-year-old boy's bedroom in a lodge-style design.

The walls below the chair rail are painted a soft green hue to coordinate with the red and tan wallpaper already in the room.

$46 - Flashing and Trim
A magnet board made out of flashing is put up below the chair rail around the perimeter of the room. Burke paints the flashing off-white and wipes on brown glaze to darken it. She uses wood trim (painted and glazed to match) to finish off the rough edges.

A matching headboard and footboard are created out of three bi-fold doors, four 4x4 posts, four fence-post caps, four casters and miscellaneous trim.

Window valances are created out of scrap wood and two colors of polar fleece fabric. The fabric is stitched together then stapled to the box. Nailhead trim and leather belts are used to add a finishing touch.

The magnet board is decorated with framed photos and accessories. Burke removes the heavy backing from each frame and replaces it with basic cardboard to make it lighter, then attaches self-adhesive magnet strips to the back of each to hold it to the wall.
