{Making my home a HOME}

I have to show you all what i am working on. I am REALLY trying to make my home a HOME. Trying to do it cheap! So, take a look at what i am working on AND how much i paid for it all!! EEEEE...i am so excited. :) I am so excited b/c i have never done stuff like this and now that i am, i am LOVING it! SERIOUSLY, loving it. My uncle owns a consignment furniture store. He and my cousins are extremely good at designing. I wish i lived near them. He has awesome stuff that kind of reminds me of inspiredroom.com and a few other design blogs i like. Anyway, i will see them this weekend and all i can say is i am going to have waaaaayyyyy too much fun in his shop! :) i cannot wait! i will show you what i get when we get back! :)

Warning! Pics are not that great! sorry!

First up....this framed mirror i bought for $5.00 at a garage sale! It's a good size and heavy duty. $5.00!! I already had the black paint for this. I bought some sandpaper, which is like $2.00. Cheap. So, total for this i spent $7.00

BEFORE: AFTER: I distressed the mirror, but still have to add some finishing touches to the parts i distressed. I have plans for this mirror, which i will show you after i get it all set up where i want it.



NEXT UP: I have plans for these cute four pieces of scrap paper. I will show you when i am done!! :)

THIRD: I have plans for this weird hanging wall thing. I got this at a garage sale about 4 years ago b/c i liked something about it. After i got it home i didn't like it much. Never used it really. Soooooo, i am going to paint this(something other than black) and turn it into a chalkboard for my kitchen!! I will show you that when i am done!

I bought this frame for $5.00. BEFORE:

AFTER:

I have big plans for this thing! I will show you after i do it! :) This frame is LARGE...if you can't tell! Oh i cant wait!



I bought this for .25 cents at a garage sale. It was old ugly gold color. So cute now. I will show you where i put this when i get everything set up! :)
