Desiging my place AGAIN!

Here are a couple of things that I have been doing to our place.....I am really liking it!! This is a long mirror that I was not looking in. SO I spray painted it and hung it up on a wall in our bedroom across from our closets and on the way to our bathroom. I still want to put some something up with the Silhouette. I can't really decide on what it is going to say. I am thinking about "We are all created in his image"This Mirror I have had forever, I got it at Wal-Mart for $5 about 5 years ago. Mom, Lacey, Aubrey, and I went shopping at the Idaho Youth Ranch (If you have not been ya gotta go!!) I found this wreath for $2 Killer deal. So I spray painted the mirror and hung up the wreath over it. Above it I found some dub ons at the dollar store and it says Always Kiss Me Goodnight!! These are old pillow cases that we really don't use. SO I decided to use my super cute new sewing machine and make them into window covers and now it matches our comforter! It just makes the room look complete!When Dan and I went down to St. George his sister and I went to Thai Pan Trading!! I LOVE THAT PLACE. I found this jar for 75% off. I called Dan and asked how much I was able to spend and he said whatever I wanted. Turns out it was $9.99! I was super excited!!! BUT when we were loading up the car to go back home I set it down on the floor (it was wrapped up in paper and in a bag) the bottom broke! :( SO I got it home and super glued it back together. It kinda looks takey if you get close. BUT far away you can't really tell. I got these balls at the dollar store and spray painted them and I AM IN LOVE!!! It is way better than I expected it to turn out!! I am going to use Lacey's Silhouette and print out a BIG H and put it on the front!

These plates are from Thai Pan Trading as well. They were each $2.94, I say a steal of a deal! I got the plate holder at Idaho Youth Ranch for $2 It is hanging up right before you go into our dinning room.

All in all I am really happy with how everything has turned out!!

You have a great talent for interior design!!! So, to respond on the series, yes you can watch all of them but The Tudors on Netflix (all of them are "watch it now" too). Tudors is on HBO. I rented them at Hastings, but seriously SAD, sad sad and bloody and gross, frustrating, too much skin, etc. but I personally have always loved King Henry the VIII, Bloody Mary and Elizabeth 1st stories, so... Let me know what you think of the shows as you watch them, I would love to talk about them with someone!!!

SUPER CUTE! I especially love the apothecary jar, even if it is broken. The painted balls look great in there! The "h" will complete the look!

Where did you get your decorating gene from? Sure wasn't your Mama. I'm still waiting for you to come and play like you are from HGTV and redo my whole place.I really need to just gut the house from top to bottom and start over. Now if I could just get my money tree to bloom. What?! You say my thumb is black not green! So much for a total redo :(

You are so crafty and creative! Question ... Where do you do your spray painting? I have this side table I got back in MN and want to spray paint it, but I'm nit sure where to do it here in our apt complex.
