Thank You Shanty 2 Chic

I got the idea for these photo frames and mirror from here:


I especially loved the idea of using burlap as a backdrop. I had these frames already and they are all different sizes/styles.


I wanted a mirror on the other wall, and I found some super cute ones at Hobby Lobby, but they were quite pricey. I decided to check Ross to see if they had anything cheaper. Lo and behold, just what I was looking for - and it was only $12.99. Sweet. I also looked for a little table but didn't find anything that I fell in love with (that didn't cost a fortune), so I dug up an old table (originally blue with an American flag on top) and spray painted it. One day I will buy myself a fancy table, but this will do for now.

Before:
Boy, I hadn't noticed how scuffed up the french door is. Yikes!

After:

I feel like things are coming together at our house! My next project is to sew some couch pillows. Considering I haven't operated a sewing machine in decades, I'm not sure how it's going to turn out....
