With planning a wedding, pretty much all of my money is tied up. But that doesn't mean I don't want to spruce up my place. I was searching for cheap ways to make decorations, and I found a thread on http://www.milspouse.com/. I used two different ideas I found on there!
1. I found some scrapbooking paper I really liked, and wrapped it around foam squares. It makes a really fun, artsy look.
2. I took an old mirror (I think it was from Walmart) I had from college, and hung it up sideways.
The result:
I also just got this table today! I ordered from http://www.kohls.com/ last week. It was on sale, plus I got 30% off and free shipping. AND....I put it together ALLLLLL by myself! I even had to use a screwdriver and wrench!
Now I have a spot to put the gift my parents gave JS and I for our engagement :-)
OK, so what do you think? I really wish I had another set of eyes here!....but I guess I have more than that....I have all of you :-)
I love it! It seems so simple, but I would never think of it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good! I might steal your idea for the foam squares thing, I love it.
