A few weeks ago we talked about using the everyday to decorate. Just because we are in an economic downward spiral, doesn't mean you can't go shopping! Shop the house!
Coffee mugs and water pitchers are perfect accessories
I love the detail on this
(World Market, if you were wondering)
My manly mad decided he would add a little decorating of his own... at least he used a cute container!
I found this little 3-legged tray at a thrift market. I just spray painted it back to life.It now sits next to my stove top and holds some necessities.
This (awkward angled) picture is from the steps in our garage. Bug spray and suntan lotion are within reach and oh-so-cute in this wire basket. The mirror was my manly-man's idea (isn't he adorable to join me in my crazy thrill over accessorizing?!) The wreath just adds a little flavor of 'welcome' as we pass by it everyday.

I use a charger plate to hold my makeup. I'm not super organized and stuff doesn't make it into a drawer/box/container, but I use the big flat plate to pile everything on top and make it "appear" containerized.
ReplyDeleteI use water pitchers to hold my utensils and the occasional stray lego...

ReplyDeleteLove your idea of decorating with what you have...this is needed, especially in these days. Linda
ReplyDeleteCute ideas! This is a topic I need to work on, since I can't think of any examples around the house. Let me get back to you. . .
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and so glad I did! It's so much fun to find ways to decorate from things around the house...especially when you've been looking at them for years and suddenly find a new way to use them! :-) Laura
