My Tuscan Master Bedroom

You guys (yes, all my wonderful readers) really blew me away these past few days!  In response to the last post (How to Make Money Blogging) you guys clicked so many ads that I can not only take myself out to coffee, I can take a group of friends too!  I honestly, did not expect that! My plan was just to share how bloggers do make money, then you guys have to go and make me feel all special :-)  So thank you, really.  All the comments were fairly positive with the ads, I had a gal discuss on my facebook page that ads on blogs really bug her, but she still enjoys my content.  I really do appreciate all my readers and you did make me feel appreciated. Thanks again :-)


I waited a little while before showing the master bedroom to you guys because I was hoping to find the perfect chair for the corner, but I can’t find a good deal on one right now, so here is the room, and for all practical purposes, finished!

Do you guys remember the post about turning an old 60’s canvas from the thrift store into this modern piece above our bed? If you haven’t seen it, I promise you’ll be inspired to pick up the next cheap and ugly framed canvas you find! OH, and the 2 thrift store lamps that were pink and gold that simple got spray painted! You’ll never buy another expensive new lamp after see how easy it is to transform ugly thrift store lamps!

Next post I’ll show you have to quickly make simple pillows. One tip, just re-use the pillow forms from pillows that no longer fit your décor! If you do that, you can really make them inexpensively.

If you are wondering, this bed set is from the Pottery Barn Grace collection. I personally really liked our moss green set we got as a wedding present 14 years ago but Hubby said it was time for a new one! (that was really out of character for him, he normally doesn’t care WHAT décor we have!!!)

Make Large Canvas Wall Art Out of An Old Map

Image
One of my favorite things about thrift store decorating is finding something unexpected and giving it a new life. When I came across an old vintage map, I immediately saw the potential for unique wall art. Instead of leaving it tucked away, I cut it into sections and mounted it onto canvases to create a custom piece full of character and history. If you love decorating with vintage finds and creating budget-friendly home decor, this simple DIY project might inspire your next thrift store makeover. I had previously picked up an old slightly laminated MAP from the same thrift store for a few dollars. I began to wonder what I could do with my map???? Tick tock, tick tock, my creative juices were coming……. Ah Ha!  My son needed something on his wall in his room and since that is where I put the globe how about matching wall art!  I went to Michaels and picked up a bunch of canvases at 40% off.  I traced around the canvas and cut out each rectangle.  The ov...

Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the GIANT price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  Yep, that’s right, this next project cost me around 6 bucks.  When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: Now how I got there.  :-) First I distressed the plastic and wood by sawing the edges, hammering the center, and quickly sanding the entire circle.  I didn’t spend a lot of time doing this because I had another idea to help with the distressing which you’ll see in the next few steps. Next step was to figure out the best way for me to put on the Roman Numer...
