Halloween Decor

I know it is after Halloween, but I wanted to get pictures of this fun Halloween Decor. I put together the picture with wrapping paper and words printed from the computer.


I used black and white beans for filler and a glitter skull from the dollar store.

I found the pumpkin at the thrift store, put scrapbook paper in a clear vase and the crow came from the dollar store.


This is our countdown to Halloween. A frame from Michael's painted black with scrap book paper and a small wooden clip.


Than Mantel...I love the black/white and green theme. It was perfectly frightening.

Decorating on a Dime... Sports Themed Room

My good friend's little boy loves balls. She has been doing his room in a sports theme. The other day while I was looking at scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby I found this awesome vintage ball paper. I knew I had to get it and do something for his room. I found these wood frames with mats at Family Dollar for $2 for the large, $1.80 for the long one, and $1 for the small ones at the Dollar Store. The paper was $0.44 a sheet. I cut the letters out on my silhouette cutter. I love how his name one turned out.

Isn't this so cute....

Here are the small ones.



Didn't they turn out cute. Most of all he Loved them.

Decorating on a Dime and a Dollar

I love decorating. But I am on a really tight budget too. I think this works as an advantage to engaging my creativity. I also realize my kids are learning how to have beautiful things but be thrifty too. We just finished Mini Boden's bedroom re-do and she and I decided to change the color of her desk and chairs. I let her pick. She went out to the garage and rummaged through the spray paint and decided on metallic chairs, and a Watermelon Pink table. We picked up this table and chair set at IKEA last year for $24.00 They are just natural wood color out of the box. I think they are super darling with the color added.


The chairs look like metal ones. I also had to cover them with a clear Krylon seal spray, because the metallic especially kept rubbing off. I am moving them into her room today. Super cute huh?

I have been needing a new Living Room Rug for awhile. My regular one is completely shredded on the edges. I keep cutting back, but I have been saving for a rug and looking for awhile. I found for $90 that I thought would work, and have been putting money away for it. Then a few weeks ago I went to Lowe's with my sis, on a project we are working on. We found the most amazing clearance items and I decided it wouldn't hurt to take a stroll through the rugs. Most of which are out of my budget right now. I was so glad I looked. I found this beautiful thing for $25. Yep that is right 25 buckaroo's. I almost did a happy dance in the aisle. I brought it home and I AM IN LOVE with it. It is super soft and makes me feel sooooo happy. What do you think?





I was at the Dollar Store the other day and found these great fall flowers and greenery. I thought it would be so stunning in some of my crocks. Take a look at our new fall additions.

I am loving the colors and feel like they add a lot to our little Family Room. What are you decorating for a Dime and a Dollar? I would love to hear.
