Kelly over @ Kelly's Korner Blog is having a children's room and nurseries home tour!
As you know, we don't have any kids yet but hopefully we will soon.

A couple of months ago I found a wonderful website where they showed many different types of baby nurseries. I feel in love with all of them. You can see the post here of my favorite ones!
Enjoy!

I am joining the fun at "Thrift Store Thursday" @ Homebody Hollys Party! This is the first time I've done this and I am very excited!

First, lets start by showing you pictures of my beautiful niece! Oh man.. I love her so much. She is so funny and is always laughing. She turned 9 months today! She has my eyelashes! ha..

So I went to Goodwill today and it went perfect! I found so many great items and the price was right.

I dont know for how long I've wanted a plant holder in shape of a bike.. I think they are adorable and look very nice by your front door. Well, today was my lucky day. I didn't only find one, but two! Mama bike, and baby bike! ha.. I paid $8 for both which is not bad. Good deal. They did need a little makeover.... sooooooooo.. with the help of my good ol' friend spray cans.. they turned from this.. into....

this!
I think they look much better. Im telling you blog friends, spray paint will do wonders! If there is an item you dont like anymore for whatever reason, spray paint the item and I promise you will never think the same about the item! It will be love at first sight all over again! :)

I also bought this cute hamper for $3. I might be painting it but I still dont know. Undecided!

I bought this little chair for my niece. It was only $1. I have big plans for this baby! Pictures coming soon!

I know, I might have bought a little too much but I couldnt help myself! The best is yet to come! I bought these four "not so pretty chairs" for $2.25 each. They will become "beauties" in a couple of days.

The recliner, I just bought it because it was $1. Really! Its ridiculous! I had no idea where I was going to put it but I liked it. It was clean, pretty and it was only $1.

It worked out great in my "reading area". It might be a little to big, but for now it looks good. Master bedroom moulding projects coming soon!

This is the best deal! Do you have an idea of what it is? Its a headboard! A cool looking headboard! You might be thinking why I have it in the kitchen, right? Well my plans are: turning this headboard into a wine cellar! Ok, that might have sounded to fancy!

I am planning to paint, remodel and embellish this headboard to hold wine bottles and wine glasses. Doesnt that sound interesting!?
Believe it or not, it was only $1.. I know.. ridiculous! We dont even drink wine but I have many wine decorations around the kitchen. It will go perfectly.

Well hope you have enjoyed my Thrifty Thursday finds.

Really..... $1 floor lamp???

You are not going to believe this! I went to Kirkland's earlier today looking for a floor lamp for the seating area in our room. Remember I told you I didn't want the T.V in our room and instead I wanted a seating area? Well its coming a long great! The floor lamps are beautiful at Kirkland's but the prices are not right for me at these moments. I was hoping to find a good deal, but the deal was not there. I was a little disappointed but I knew I would find something quick.

Oh boy oh boy... did it come quick! I took a trip to the Goodwill store and look what I found! This not so beautiful lamp with a lot of potential. I immediately thought " I could paint it, and cover the lamp shade with a pretty fabric etc... In matter of seconds I had everything planned out how I wanted it. So I check the price, and guess what.... the price was right! It was originally $7.99 / Week 14 tag. Today all week 14 tags were .99 cents! I quickly put it in the shopping cart. My husband was laughing at how funny it looked "driving" a shopping cart with a 5 1/2 tall lamp! ha.. I laughed at myself too!

I also found this pretty fabric (1 1/2 yd) for 1.99. It is beautiful!

How to cover lampshade:

I measured the lampshade and cut the fabric according to size.
I used spray adhesive (it works great)
I adhered the fabric to the lampshade and smoothed it out as much as I could. The fabric is kind of wrinkly!
I hot glued the fabric to the top and bottom of the lampshade.. and shazammm.. I had a beautiful elegant lampshade.

Its very simple! You should try it!

I took the lamp outside and gave it a little makeover with spray paint! I love spray paint! I choose "Espresso" color. Its like a rich chocolate color.

The middle part of the lamp started bubbling and I did not like how it was turning out as it dried. So I cut a long strip of the same fabric as the lampshade and glued it down.

Here is a close up of the lampshade. Isn't it beautiful? I love it!

Here is the final piece! So.. what do you think? Its amazing that spray paint and fabric can do so much! It looks like a brand new lamp!

I am still not done with the seating area but I just couldn't wait to show you how great it is looking.
Thanks for visiting! You are more than welcome to leave comments!
Thanks!

Just a little something....

I'm exhausted. The last two days we have spent it mostly at the hospital. Valerie had her c-section yesterday. It was tough for her and the rest of the family. She did get a little panic attack before going to the operating room and they needed to calm her down. Everything went well. We had the chance to keep the baby for one day. He was handsome! I wanted to share this picture that I took yesterday. This is Valerie holding her son's hand. He weighed 3 lbs. 11 oz. -- 16 inches. He was so beautiful. I will never forget his little face. I love him so much! Please keep praying for Valerie and her family. We will be going to the hospital tonight to spend some time with Valerie and her family.

I wanted to share this cute project I did a while back. This is my pencil holder I have next to my computer. It turned out so cute. Again, you cant go wrong with pink and brown!

This is the hair bow holder I did for Stacey. She won my "Hair Bow Holder Giveaway". The colors she choose are awesome! I love the color combination. I was glad I had the perfect ribbon to match the bow holder! Its so cute!

Several weekends ago we found these beautiful items at a yard sale.

This first item we bought it for only $5! Yep, 5 buckaroos! The family we bought it from used it to hang coats. As you can see in the second picture, the back board had hangers.

Now let me tell you the story how it fell apart. We kept this beautiful piece in our backyard since I still needed to paint. This afternoon I walk outside to take some nice pictures to post and what do you know; my beautiful piece laying on the ground, the backboard laying next to it broken and the glass door, all shattered! Last week was really windy! So windy, it knocked this piece straight to the ground! Good thing that its still ok. I will have to figure out how to fix it. What do you think about this piece? Im thinking of making it into a giant jewelry organizer! haha.. I have that much jewelry!

We bought this beautiful metal art for $2. Its beautiful! I loved it! Today my husband and I, hung this metal art in our bedroom!

What do you think? You cant really tell, but it looks much better in person. This little trick made the ceilings look higher. It looks awesome! Our master bedroom is coming along beautiful!

We bought these for $5. I still don't know where to place them! I'm thinking placing these on the sides of our mirror in our bedroom. I guess we will see how it works out.
Well, I hope you've enjoyed todays post. Thank you so much for visiting!

Milk Glass

Love it or hate it? I personally love it! I bought these beautiful pieces at an antique store today. I didn't know milk glass could be so expensive! I have my eye on a beautiful milk glass bowl but its $110! Thats a little too much for me. I don't get paid that much too afford a $110 bowl. :) But its beautiful and I want it! Hopefully they could put it on sale soon! Cross fingers!


I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy these. All of our decoration in our home have normally dark colors. I didn't know if they would go well together. White does go with everything, doesn't it? Well I tried dressing up my entry way table with the milk glass decorations and it looks funny. Maybe because I am not use to having white decorations in my home. Spring is just around the corner and I want it to have a "spring-e" feel ( I know, made up word). Fall is over and so is winter! I want to incorporate more lighter colors this spring. So, what do you think about the new "spring-e" look? I am thinking of buying a antique white lamp and replace it with the darker one. Does it look ok? To tell you the truth, I like how it looks in person, but when I saw the pictures I did not like them at all. Should I replace all of the darker decorations in the table with lighter ones? Should I just keep the old decorations? I never thought it would be so hard to dress up an entry table! Leave comments, be honest I wont get upset promise! All comments appreciated! Also, if you own milk glass decoration, I would love to see how you use them to decorate in your home!
Thanks!


BEFORE

AFTER

So pink...

Remember this candle holder I bought at the antique store? I loved the original color of it, but it doesn't match my other decoration. So I had to do what a crafty girl does. Spray paint!
It went from this....

to this!
Isn't it beautiful? By the color of it, what room do you think its going in? Yep, my craft room! Its coming out great! Just wanted to share quickly! Hope you are having a great Tuesday!

Antique Store?

I was kind of bored Saturday morning I decided to drive around and visit local stores close to my house. I drove for a good 10 minutes down Main St. and found a great Antique store. I've been living here for almost a year and I did not know about this store! Im glad I found it! :)
I decided to stop by, not to buy anything but only to look around. Well guess what? I ended up buying two beautiful pieces. The best part, they were less than $10!

The first piece I bought is this beautiful shabby chic candle holder. It was originally $10 with 40% off, so I got it for only $6! I couldn't believe it! Its a good size candle holder too! I love the look on this candle holder, but it doesn't really match my other decoration around the house. So, you guessed it, spray paint time!

The second item I bought is this beautiful clock stand! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I seriously ran across the store to get it before someone else did! ha... I loved it so much once I saw the clock, it seemed the ladies around me saw it at the same time and wanted the clock too. Thanks to my long run, I got it! I was a little scared at first thinking, this must be a fortune! When I saw the price I couldn't believe it! It was only $10!
I am not kidding, I walked for about an hour around the store, and every 5 minutes I would look at the price tag just to make sure I was reading it correctly! I thought, maybe they wanted to write $100! It was only $10 though!

I still don't have a place for my clock stand but when I was looking where to place it, I realized I have several clocks around the house. I think I am in love with clocks!
Here are a few pictures of some of the clocks I have.

This was originally a clock, but I am using it for something else!

Just wanted to throw in a picture of our new baby palm tree! Isn't it cute?

Thanks for reading!
Have a great day!
