this is our kitchen table which we love (it was a gift)...and the centerpiece is really cool but i didn't get a close-up. ben found it outside our dumpster one day & brought it home so it was free...
the shelf... (ikea, $30)
my favorite thing on the shelf, i wish the green came out more clearly, it's really vibrant (savers for $8)...
the little blue teapot (savers for $0.99), the green frame (target clearance for $3.98), the little vase (ikea for $1.50), the flowers (ikea for $0.99/each)...
purple frame (clearance from target for $2.98), small silver frame i've had for years...
(again, blurry picture, sorry) vase ($1.99 from savers), white antiqued frame i've had for years...
monet plate (savers for $0.99), green vase/bottle (savers, $2.99)...
the glass bowl (savers, $3.99), the only thing bought full price were the cherries to fill it (target, $7.99), the mirror...free from out by the dumpster...
frame, a gift from my mom...vase, i've had for years...little marbles (target clearance, $1.99)...
another thing i love are these endtables. you can fit a ton of stuff in them! we were able to get 2 of them for 70% off in the clearance section outside of a furniture store...
and this vase i bought at savers for $2.99 and i love the colors of it too...
and there you have it. i think color has been really important to me because i don't have the option to paint my walls & it feels plain with everything so white. it's still a work in progress but i'm liking how it's all turning out so far.

Gorgeous! What a thrifty little decorator you are! I rarely buy anything full price....but am also not much of a shopper. Especially with kids. But I love to find a good deal when I do happen to be out and actually can spend a little money. I was so sick of neutral walls for so long that as soon as I had my own house, I painted colors everywhere and had bold colors to decorate. I love it! You did a great job!
Those shelves looks great - very electic and cool! I love that you're incorporating some funky designs and colors into your decor.
And what I'm dying from jealousy over is your beautiful dining table and those criss-cross chairs! Can't wait to see the place for real SOON!
Cute, come and decorate for me :)
So cute! Thanks for sharing with us! I always feel too poor to spend money to decorate, but maybe I need to learn a few tips from you. It looks great. Love the shelfs!
That looks great! I love the cherries in the glass bowl.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who finds outlets in writing. I've noticed your comments on Rachel's blog but taken the opportunity to come and "visit". Thank you for letting me know that you read. I love surprise comments like that! :) You totally made my day, so thank you!
I meant to say that I've never taken the time to come "visit" [your blog].
Proofreading is good. I should do that before I hit 'publish'! ;)
Thanks again!
I wish I lived by your dumpster. It almost gives more than it receives!
