My dollar store inspired decor

  


   I have decorated my entire kitchen with either cheap or free (hand me downs from mom) stuff! There really is no theme for my decor, I call it eclectic. It does have kind of a country feel, at least to me It does. I tend to fall towards the country look  because that is where I really want to be, lol. I want a big Contry house with acres and acres of land. I even want chickens so I can fetch my own eggs. Hey, you can never find a coupon for eggs, and everyone knows I dont like buying anything without a coupon.

Partylite vase- Free from mom (Apples $5  at walmart)

My counter as it is now. Nothing special, but I think it looks cute. I think It is about to get a fall makeover.  I was never one to decorate seasonally, but I am just feeling it this year.

What do you think I should do to the counter for fall?

                             My diy finds and redos

I found this goldish metallic star at the goowill for .99. Couldnt decide what to do with it at first, but after painting it black, I decided to hang it near my computer and use it for pens, and important papers. Cost: $1.50

My next find was from a garsge sale. My mom actually bought this for me for $1.00.

I didnt care for it at all, It had a dark wood top before I sanded it. I thought it looked like

something someone would put their cotton balls, It was to say the least, ugly. So, I sanded it down, banged the lid up a bit, and put a knob on it that I already owned. Total cost to me: Free!  Except the bag of oreos I filled it back up with that cost me .50.

This is my favorite, I love the way it turned out. Jeff and I have actually come uo

with the idea of selling my projects and craft shows. This one though, I am going to keep.

Cost: $1.99 for frame

.99 for paint

About .50 for the cardboard

.97 for the paint

$3.00 for the nails

$1.00 for the decals

       This is the partylite vase my mom gave me. I got some stuff from the dollar store and just exchanged them for this suff from the dollar store. 
                                          Cost:  $1 for the moss
                                                     $1 each for the cattales, flowers $3.00
                                                     $1.00 for the leaves

Dollar store hurricanes

I came across these beautiful hurricanes made by Socalifornialife. She found the hurricanes at the dollar tree and glued on the candle holders on the bottom that she also found at the dollar tree. I am going to order a case of both of these on the dollar tree website. You get 12 each in a case. I am making these as Christmas gifts and giving a set of 2 out to each person. I will post them once I complete them.
