Everything you see was cheap.
Let's break it down.
At Goodwill I was able to find the rooster clock for $4 (that will be a decoupaged project coming up when I find the right paper), the two brown frames at $1.99 each (8x10 and the hinged 5x7's), the tall square glass vase at $.99, the red bowl at $1.99, the red plate $1.99, and the red basket at $.49.
At the Dollar store I have the three pictures in one frame and three little frames. All $1 each.
At the Garage Sales I got the basket on the bottom for $.50 and my husband found the table for $15. Woo hoo!!!
Last but not least I found the gold tray at Target for 75% off at $3.50.
Total=$36.50 (about)
Not bad huh? My colors for the living room are black, red, and gold. The side colors are brown and beige. (furniture pieces) Now I have to figure out how to decorate so that it doesn't look like there is too much. I do have bookcases on the other wall that I will be putting items on too. I want to get a table runner too.
Also, what should I put in the basket that an 18 month old won't get into all the time?
This beauty is also a garage sale find and I got it for $5. I seriously have the best garage sales around. I just love what I can find.
This last thing is FREE! That's right. My husband got it through freecycle which is a yahoo group. Check it out. It's basically people trying to get rid of or get things for free. Not a bad little deal. See if it is in your area.
This is the reason it was free. I am not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions? I thought about making a little fabric sock for it but I think that would look ridiculous. Should I sand it down and repaint it? Or should I sand it down and do something totally different?
