Since we've moved into our place (early November) I've slowly been decorating. With little to no money, it's hard to do.... that's where being crafty comes in handy. I go to the goodwill a lot, flea markets, garage sales, craigslist... there are unlimited craft projects within my budget just waiting for me to conquer!
There's a small, but awesome, second hand furniture store downtown. They have great prices and is owned by a very nice, hometown man. He's kind, trustworthy and friendly. Even though he sold this huge, beautiful, wooden-swirl mirror that I wanted... he has managed to hold onto the giant picture I want. No... I don't want the picture, it's very ugly... but the frame is large. Big. Huge. Giant!! (Probably 5ft x 4ft??) It's scrolly, wooden and painted a distressed white. The picture is some ugly, 70's scenery... I didn't really look that close cuz I considered it ugly and dismissed it quickly. However the frame is gorgeous and I've talked Chris into letting me get it!!
We've made a few small payments on it and now it's paid for and they will be delivering it on sunday!! (Tomorrow!) Now.... Chris says, "What are you going to put in it?" Oh... yeah. It's a frame, what goes IN IT? Hm... I've spent days thinking... and with my crafty brain, I've had tons of ideas. However my budget doesn't always agree with my crafts.
I have finally decided what to do.... I got the supplies and now I'm just going to get going! Not sure how it'll turn out... or how long I'll like it. But if it turns out like it looks in my head - I'll be totally satisfied! I'll post pictures and updates when I can!!!
