The cost of this corner

September 15th, 2010 at 08:42 pm



Just to give a bit more info on this corner of my house...

The table was FREE. I saw it at the county dumpster site (we have a swap shop there). I had to literally fight a lady for it because I would be darned if I didn't leave with it --- I saw it first!! Smile The table was in absolutely perfect condition and I didn't have to do a thing to it.

The books were FREE. My mom bought a boxful of books at a yard sale for like a buck. She gave me a few and voila.

The rod iron basket the balls are in was $1 at Goodwill.

The metal tray the books are on was $1 at Goodwill.

The 2 wooden candlesticks were just $1 at Goodwill.

The little jack-o-lantern thingys (I think they are luminaries?) were $3 at Goodwill... it was a brand new box of 12 of them and they are so blasted cute, that I had to buy them. I put a couple in this corner and I think it looks good.

The small pumpkins you see were FREE. A coworker gave me a basket of pumpkins and gourds a few years ago when she was cleaning out her stash. Love it!

I know you can hardly see it, but there is a huge rustic basket on the bottom shelf of the table holding our magazines. I bought a lot of 5 baskets at an auction recently for $1. So the cost of this one, I guess is like 20cents. I love this basket.

The Woodwick candle and Bath and Body Works candle below it (wrapped in jute twine) were FREE. I got these as gifts a few years ago.

There you go... proof that decorating doesn't have to be expensive.

    Your table looks really nice... The items that you have placed on the table look really good together.. And, the prices you mentioned are also really good. You did a nice job..

    I love those woodwick candles. The crackling sound is so nice. What is that under the candle tho? Looks like it is wrapped with twine.

    And i would fight for the table too! Smile

    The thing wrapped in twine below the woodwick candle is a bath and body works candle - Japanese Cherry Blossom - just thought it would look nicer wrapped in twine. All I did was tuck the ends under so that I could easily remove the twine for Christmas season or whenever. Smile
