Slowly but surely I have been putting things up on the walls in my home. This has been a turtle moving process for me. One room at a time. It's been like putting together a 5000 piece puzzle; you work on it, then you quit for a while, but then you work on it again, and then quit again, and so on. Unlike a puzzle, money is involved in decorating your home which has been a factor in the delays. Oh and TIME too, never enough of that. ;)
Thankfully, summer has helped with the money thing. I've been able to find frames and different house things for great prices at garage sales. I keep thinking about how I used to wonder why in the world my mom loved garage sailing. I now understand, which ultimately means I'm getting old(er), or how about just more thrifty...yeah I like that better. I have to say Lynchburg has been full of great finds this summer. I am throughly addicted. Seriously. Today for example, got up at 6am and didn't make it home till noon. I scored 3 awesome vintage chairs for 20$, one globe, two vintage necklaces, a large mirror, an old suitcase which has this crazy awesome purple inside, some other vintage wall assessories (DIY to come with all this), and I think that's it. I believe the grad total was around 35-40$. Score!
Anyways, if you don't garage sale you should. And if you don't DIY projects, you should. Their easy, inexpensive, and end up being unique to fit you and your own style.
OK enough of me talking, and onto some pictures!
{ Before }
Please ignore Kevin's grumpy face. He was being silly. ;p
Oh and, yes, we do still have the plastic stuff from the winter up on our window. Not sure why.
{ Had to slip these pictures of my loves into this post;
they clearly would not get out of the way when I was taking before pictures. ;) }
{ Our babes }
{ Having some fun with his buddy }
{ After }
Painted all the frames except for the two with pictures in them.
{ Small mirror: from white to black }
{ Picture frame: turned chalk board }
{ Put this together with fabric, and scrapbook pieces }
{ Owl: from gold to black }
{ Made 3 of the flowers on here, other three were hair pieces turned decor }
{ Mirror: from white to black }
{ Complete }
Finally something. I might add more stuff, but for now it will do!
Wanted to mention...
The reason I chose to add purple shades to the frames is because the other wall in our bedroom is purple(ish) [not sure what color you would really call it].
