Some after shots

September 14th, 2010 at 03:43 am

The Christmas 2008 frame now houses a monogram (simply printed from the computer) of our last name... doesn't it look nice!?


The old ugly bronzy picture frame holder got a good coat of black paint and voila... looks much better (It's holding up the 'F' picture frame. That picture frame started out HOT PINK but again, black paint to the rescue-- same with all the other frames you see.)

Oh, and see that mirror in the background? Not the cheap $1.50 one I got this past Sat. but this one is much bigger and is another thrift store find from last week - priced at just $20 but I was able to talk down the store manager to $12! It fits perfectly above our mantle.

The cheapo, but new pillar candle I got for 0.25cents, looks nice on top of the $2 tall rod iron candle holder I got from Goodwill last week!


More to come with all my other goodies from the yard sale find this weekend... but in the meantime, look what I found at Goodwill today for just 0.50cents each --- aren't they purdy!? NOT! Just wait to see what I plan to do with these...

    Nice job with the frames. I really need to find some cheap frames. I would paint them black, too!

    I am totally lovin your decorating style. I have been perusing garage sales and thrift stores also looking for the diamond in the rough. Please keep the pictures coming.

    Can u tell me what website you got the "M" from?

    Thanks for the nice responses, guys. I have never ever been a decorator but for some reason, I really got into it for this Fall season. Smile DH thinks I've gone crazy. Since I really had zero items to use, everything you see was purchased/made within the last couple of weeks and for CHEAP!

    The "M" as well as the letters in FALL were all simply printed in Microsoft Word. I just picked out a font I liked and used a font size big enough for whatever frame I was working with. The "M" was like a size 500 or something like that -- so, very simple way to decorate with absolutely no money involved.
