One Mama's Junk is Another Mama's Decor

I like to consider myself very Thrifty & Crafty.... Yesterday morning I decided to get my 3 Monkey's up & go to my sister-in-law Roxanne's Yard Sale ( and today just Happens to be her Birthday!..Happy Birthday!!) I made out pretty Great at the Yard Sale..... I got several home decor items, 2 Shirts for myself, 2 Summer Dresses for Tayden, a 3 piece Winter Fleece Outfit for Tayden, a CUTE pair of Brown MUDD dress Shoes for me, Tayden found 2 toys, & Daxon found a Toy..... All for $15.00! I don't have a photo of any of the clothes or toys but I did take pictures of ALL the home decor items, because I knew I was going to transform some of them into something special & functional for our household! As the Hog vs LSU game ( in the College World Series) was a complete Blow out from pretty much the start I decided to go ahead & update all my new items as I watched the rest of the game).....Here they are & I hope You Enjoy!

I knew the second I picked this up at the sale that this would be PERFECT to put in my kids bathroom for them to hang their towels on ( considering they can't reach the hooks that they have now that hang over the bathroom door )!

All I needed to do was paint the 2 outside knobs to match the trim & cabinets in their bathroom!

I think it was a great idea & will function Perfectly in their bathroom!

Decorative Planter.....AFTER.... I promise it doesn't look as Silly as it does in this picture ( I guess it's just so close up) We started out with 8 Goldfish on my Birthday ( January 21st ) and as of this past week we are now down to only 2 fish.... So I decided to put away the big fish tank for now & have gone back to using just the classic fish bowl.

I Loved the Distressed Frame & Had no intentions of changing it, but I knew I could scrape the remainder of the paper off of these "chalky" squares & paint something on them. I thought all day yesterday about what to paint on them... I wanted something that was a reflection of our family since I planned to hang it in out Living/Family Room.....

What better than The Arkansas Razorback Signature A & The St. Louis Cardinals Logo - since we are Huge HOG & CARDINAL fans & we watch all televised games that we don't attend in our Living/Family Room!

This is a photo of the table that up until this past week did house the Big Fish Tank..... Now you can see the Updated Decorative Planter & the Updated Frame ( I also Purchased the Candle Holders & the Decorative Bowl from My sister-inlaw as well...... I will now be on the hunt for the Perfect Candles for the Holders!

I also purchashed a Cute Tall Candle Holder, but I haven't decided where to put it yet ( I don't plan to update it, as it will work perfectly with the decor that I already own) .... I just have to find the perfect spot for it & then I will post a photo!
