New Mirror and Lamp

This delightful arrangement makes me HAPPY!  I love the new lamp and mirror.  It's hard to tell from the picture but the mirror frame is a turquoise green metal (much the same color as the D) that has flowers interspersed.  I got the mirror and the lamp for $60.  They were both 1/2 price at Hobby Lobby.

Additional Touches





Here are a few other touches that I have added to the room.  I am not done but it is really coming along.

Mantel Added To Room

Found this delightful addition to my room on Craigslist.  Had to drive all the way to Lakewood but it was worth it.  Owner was asking $150 but I got it for $75.  Decided to leave the mantel its original color which was a taupe color.  Brought it home, sanded it some and attached it to the wall.  Here are the pictures.

Wall is painted!

I have painted the horrible pink wall!  I have also dressed the room with what I have so far.  The room is by no means complete but I am loving what I have so far.  I plan to add a chandelier, chair, a few things on the wall, pillows for the bed and I want to get a mantel to put where the dresser is right now.  I am also going to add window treatments.









Wooden Shutter

This was a $15 find.  I just cleaned it up and sanded it a little.  I used some vintage lace to hang old postcards.  I will hang this on the wall soon.


Reclaimed Window

I am going to use this window to display old black and white photos of my family.  This was a $10 find.



Here is the example from Pinterest.

Picture Frame Project - DONE

This whole project cost about $5.00.  I got the frame for .75 from Twice as Nice, the flower was an ornament that I bought after Christmas for .90, the lace was from Scrap and cost .50, and the postcard was a $2.00 find from the Mini Mall in Denton.  I am really happy with the final project.
