A Thursday Treasure: cute bowls

I am making up for lost Tuesday treasures with this little number. Domino Mag featured this under $1 budget find for bowls and I fell in love with them too. These cute lion's head bowls are about 85 CENTS (that's right - cents) a piece at Crate and Barrel.

Check them out online - I might pick up a couple of these for cute ice cream dishes.

On vacation

Let me tell you - I hate it when my favorite bloggers go on vacation and don't tell anyone. And then I did just that. And left my blog be all by its lonesome for days on end. I am sorry for that and promise to be back at it from now on.

Thanks!

Tuesday Treasure: Planter

I am always looking for planters that don't look like straight out of the Home Depot. Something about those plain orangy-clayish planters just aren't welcoming to me. I found this one at the Pier 1 clearance sale and think that is very unique looking and is definitely the right price.

I really love the fact that it is a perfect square and has an antique finish to it. Another huge bonus is the legs, because it gives you the room to put one of the clear water catchers underneath it that doesn't look so ugly.
My one complaint is all the holes that are created from the criss cross pattern. I can just see so many clumps of dirt finding their way out - which requires you to buy something to line it.

Check it out here. For a mere $12 - it is hard to go wrong.

Linked In: Ikea Hacker

I absolutely love jewelry chests and thought this interpretation on ikeahacker.blogspot was really awesome. Any handy person could make this happen with how easily the writer explains it.

Tuesday Treasure: Lighting

Every Tuesday, I will find a "Tuesday Treasure" and post it here on the blog. By a treasure I mean some great little piece I found online that is affordable, but still has that big sticker price look.

To start it off - I found an adorable take on a vintage chandelier at UrbanOutfitters.com that would fit any dark bathroom or small bedroom corner perfectly.

This little cutie is going to grace my foyer bathroom - and I will be sure to post an update once it is in place. I think I might opt out the light bulb for a candle for a more elegantly, dark look.

How much is this treasure? $28.00 plus shipping - but get it for less for a limited time with the promo code "4477WELCOME." It is only 10% off, but every little bit helps right?

What's the point?

I am setting out to find helpful ways to teach others (step by step) how to create beautiful decor on a budget.

Through the process of designing my own home - I am discovering new things every day that have helped me find an individual style for taking other people's trash and creating wondrous treasures.

First up tomorrow, a fun way to display your towels in your bathroom for less than $10 dollars. And no, it doesn't involve a towel rod.
