deceiving room decor

when we hear the word deceiving we usually think = bad.

but in this case, i am using deceiving in a good way--- how to make your home look glamorous, extravagant + expensive

and doing it all from items you bought at............. a yard sale.

yes, I'm serious.

this post + images are from view along the way blog [click to check out entire post]

I just had to share her knowledge and beautiful design style, here is what she has to say about what to look for at yards sales--

1. books // chunky, vintage, cute covers

2. goblets, bowls, vases, holders-of-things // milk glass, solid ceramics, or glass vases in pretty shapes

3. picture frames // spray paint is your best friend, find the right size/shape

4. plates // plate display?

5. decorative knick-knacks // 'nough said

6. furniture // repaint & reupholster if needed

7. mirrors // there is no limit to the number of mirrors you can hoard

genius.

a little preview >>> black fridayyy

we all love/hate black friday.

It's a day of pure madness-- people running around like crazies trying to snag the best deal, just after they had a "thankful" dinner with their family. I do participate in the day but I can't say we take it to the extreme of what I just saw on the news last night - people are ALREADY camping out at best buy to be first in line to snag those electronics deals. umm do you realize black friday is still nine days away...? man that's just crazy.

I know all the ads won't come out until thanksgiving day and you can search them all then, and scout out your plan of attack. but I have found a few "preview" deals on items for your home! check them out

happy shopping!

 

veterans day >>> where to find deals for your home

happy veterans day friends!

I feel so grateful for all of the men & women who have served our country [and continue to do so today], what amazing people they are, and all they sacrificed for us. I couldn't help but want to share this amazing video that is circulating. click on the image below to watch the video- it will literally leave you speechless.
