My Flea Market Finds!

twice in one day. wow! let's hope I can keep this up! :)

Jonathan and I had a GREAT day today looking at different Flea markets! I had no idea what cool stuff they have if you just look beyond all the junk!
Well as i said earlier my Better Homes and Gardens magazine/website http://www.bhg.com/ has inspired/taught me how to decorate our apartment cheaply with things that I get from flea markets or antique stores. So i put what i have learned into use today!


These were .99 cents each!!! They are a bit dusty but with a little love (and pledge) they will be perfect to arrange on the walls in our bedroom!



this is how they will be mounted on the wall! :)
Jonathan is going to get some wood for us to treat and paint to set on top of them so we can actually store stuff on them! I'm so excited!!!


Along with the 3 iron wall mounts I got 2 'certificate frames' (each .99 cents as well) that I am going to paint white and either use as actual picture frames or arrange scrapbook paper in them and make a neat collage for our bedroom. (another idea from BHG).

Since I already have the paint for the frames and the iron wall mounts need no fixing up (for now) I can decorate 2 out of 4 walls in my bedroom for only $5!!!


Well what a busy but fun day it has been. :)
Pictures of my flea market finds once they are put to use will come!

Today's Adventure.....Flea Market!

Lately I have been uuber interested in redecorating my living room and bedroom but being poor seminary students we definitely don't have the extra cash to blow so Better Homes and Gardens has directed me to the flea markets and antique stores. SO that's my adventure plans for today. To go shopping for unique (and cheap) things to use to decorate our apartment. this should be interesting! Have a great day!
