Thrifty Finds

Hello everyone! Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is hosting a new party this week. I, like everyone else at this party, loves to go to yard sales, thrift stores, and just all out big sales. Heres a few things I have found in the last couple of weeks. We are redoing my daughters room. I will have more pics once we are completely through. But so far, we've been pleased with the results.

The first thing she needed was lamps. I found this one at a thrift store just up the street from me. It was a horrible brown/bronze color. Not very attractive at all. Sorry, I forgot to take a pic before. I do that sometimes. I painted it a nice shade of pink, which is the color we are adding to go with the green in her room. It looks totally different now.


For the other side of the bed, I found this little table that was perfect for a nightstand for only $6.00 at a yard sale. I haven't painted it or anything as of yet. Still deciding if I need to or not. I had the other lamp and spray painted it to match the thrift store lamp, then got coordinating lampshades.


Here is a pic of the two lamps together, what do you think? Can we get away with it? We might get the letter L monogrammed on the lampshades to bring them together even more. What do you think?



Lastly, the comforter was a find at Dirt Cheap. Its a small thrift store, so to speak, but usually its hand-me-downs from other stores like Target, etc. The comforter is a Martha Stewart find for $20.00 brand new. The pillows are from yard sales that I had put up for several months. I thought they went with it nicely. The pillows were .50 and $1.00 a piece.


Well, thats just a few thrifty finds of late. Be sure and check out Rhoda's blog at http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/ for more Thrifty Finds.

Whats on your wall Wednesday

I'm joining Barb at http://gritsglamour.blogspot.com/ for Whats on your wall Wednesday. This is the first time I have joined this party, I thought it would be fun. Of course I love pictures of my family first and foremost but I love decorating, period. So, heres just a few things for this first Whats on your wall.......

This is one of my favorites....my daughter's wedding picture. This picture was in the brides room on an easel. It now hangs in my family room.



And these are my favorites of the other three.....these still live at home, also in the family room.




My fireplace is one of the favorite things in my family room. When we first moved in about 6 years ago, I loved magnolias, still do, but I would love to put a family picture at the beach there.....




I love to decorate with plates, as I have seen other bloggers love that also, these were a christmas present a couple of years ago, I love these displayed in my kitchen...

Of course they are roosters too...a definite plus!


And last but not least.....this was a present from my oldest daughter when we moved in...it just needs some more things around it, I'm just not sure what I want to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's also in my kitchen.



Thanks for visiting my walls today. Be sure and take a look over at Barb's for some more walls to gander at. Debbie

My plate is full this week

Hey guys, Sorry its been so long since I posted, but with my grandson home, I've been helping out my daughter as much as possible. Also, this is Spring Break for my children. You won't believe this, but yesterday, me and my husband took our youngest daughter to see the Hannah Montana movie, yes, my husband went too. We all loved it, no kidding, it was a really good movie. I guess you just never know till you try. Anywho, tomorrow we will go down to Gulf Shores for a day of fun. It's suppose to be a beautiful day again tomorrow. I will be back in a couple of days. We are redoing my daughters room, so I'll have some pics later this weekend hopefully to show you. Have a great week and here's a few pics of my grandson to keep you entertained......

Wide eyed and bushy tailed


Laid back


Totally out of it


He's in a slight trance and loves to smile at this point


I'm so proud of this little one......can't you tell? Debbie

Happy Happy Joy Joy

My grandbaby and daughter are finally home from the hospital. They got in around 5:00 this evening. What a joyous occasion. Thank you everyone for your prayers during this time. You could say you helped bring him home. Thank you so much. Debbie
