Folks love to post their idea boards. Wellllll, I thought I might need one to stay on focus with just a little more direction.

So far:

• We have the $5 chandelier from the thrift store and $4 orange spray paint
• The $18 striped bedspread from Freds (SO DIRT CHEAP I'm hate sharing my sources!)
• The Think Happy, Be Happy $14 clearance aisle hobby lobby giant canvas wall art. (This may stay in my living room. I'm LOVING it in there now!)
• $10 gallon can of grey paint from the clearance section at Lowes
• $22 of Navy Chevron duck cloth Fabric to make some (fabulous in my head) curtains. (My splurge.)
• $12 Orange chevron pillows (That have been on my living room couch, and will be relocated to their new home)
• $10 Turquoise chevron lamp from Freds (A treat from my dear Mama)

What I'm still searching for the guest room:

• A fabulously cheap rug that is orange or aqua and FUNKY. Found a great source on Ebay. I just haven't made the leap.

• The perfect frame dirt cheap from thrifting or yard sale so I can DIY my own Dr. Seuss look-a-like print. I've got it in my head that I can have my Office Depot connection print it jumbo size on the cheap.
• I need accent pieces. I love anchors and owls. They go together, right? 

 I've finally decided that I am going to make my house what I love, and say to heck with the rest. Why not?

If you know me, you know I LOVE color. And lots of it. But I've just now decided I don't have to be scared of color.

What are you most afraid of with decorating? 

Guest Room Redo - Colors

Thank you, clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby. ;-)

I now have more room direction.

Me likey.

And...that's all for my decision making skills today.

I totally heart THRIFT STORES

To mix up my lunch routine, I went in one of my favorite hole in the wall places. The Salvation Army Thrift Store. And I MAJORLY scored!

If you know me, I am obsessed with all things Jenny Lind and spindle. We've painted a cradle and crib turquoise, and a high chair yellow. And I've been on the search for a jenny lind style spindle bed for our guest room. Who found it for $10??? This girl, that's who! I'm seriously so excited I could cry. Totally beats the Land of Nod one I wanted!

I scored a ton of other stuff, too. My total bill? $30. That's it!!!

Bed, CHANDELIER, little house terrarium, moss for another project, a topiary, cute napkin holder.....yep. Today was a very ON day! Woop Woop! Apparently the entire section was 50% off today. I'm one thrilled chica!! Time to buy more spray paint. ;-)

Best part? I was in and out, stopped by Chickfila and still had time to post this (thank you blogger ap!) on my lunch break. Yippieeeeeee!!!!!
