Cheap decorating

unique bottles to put on my plant shelf. Bought a ross and thrift stores.
I wish I would have got a before pic of this bread box. It was ugly! Someone had wrote on it and it had ugly wood knobs. So I painted it and put new knobs. It was seven dollars.
These were gold frames I found at a thrift store, two dollars each. Painted them and put scrapbook paper in it to make trays.

Painted all my red accents in my kitchen white and yellow. They look like new and it was only a few dollars for spray paint.
side table, bought for five bucks at a garage sale. I'm going to paint it soon. mirrored tray for holding remotes, thrift store three dollars. decoupaged scrapbook paper on a dollar store frame for the pic on the table.
found this a thrift store for a couple bucks. It had a gold clock in it, and I took that out and turned it into this.
Accents from tj maxx homegoods store. love that place!
Rug from ross, sixty bucks. love it!!


Here are some more pics of my house, and projects I have been working on. Thrift stores are my new favorite place to shop, well actually I have always loved thrifting. The satisfaction of finding something plain and boring and seeing the potential is amazing!
