vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
This creative blue is from my friend Gracie at Kitchen Table Art.
Gracie has a tiny kitchen. So, she and her hubby made their own pantry with a bookshelf and a homemade screen door.
I found this lovely frame at the thrift store for 75 cents. She is an oval metal frame, and with the right paint and additions I can find a place for her in our home.
At Christmas I gave you a tour of our home and some tips on how to decorate under $3. That’s what I did with my “copy cat” chandy in our bedroom…
I saw this from Oh So Shabby by Debbie:
I mean-seriously this is so beautiful, right?? All of the greenery, extra ornaments, and I love the sticks, too.
My dear friend Judi gave me this chandelier last summer. I know!! She gave it to me!! Such an awesome friend. I could hardly wait to hang it in our bedroom.
Anyway, after being inspired with Debbie’s chandy, I knew I need to add something to my new “pretty”, too.
I just love me a gorgeous chandelier, don’t you?? And did you notice the matching candelabra? Sweet!
I got to work on my copy cat chandy with a few items I already had. I gathered everything together and tarted to “play” with my copy cat chandy.
I used tulle, glittered icicles, tree twigs, pearl strings, and greenery that was in my kitchen to make my own:
Copy Cat Chandy
And, I like it so much, I think I will keep it up all year long!! I can’t even think of taking it all apart. I just love this look, don’t you?
The added embellishments are not permanent, so I can add to or change it up any time I want.
So, for zero cost I decked out my chandy. All it took was a little imagination and creativity!!
Don’t you just love being able to being some added *bling* to your own pretties every once in awhile?? I sure do!!

Make it a Stupendous Saturday!!
This post is linked to fabulous parties here.
I just love me a good can of paint, don’t you?? I think a can of paint makes all the difference. What about you?? I want to show you how paint can make a difference in the look, feel, and balance of your home. It doesn’t even take much time. Just a little creativity.
Here are a few samples of what I mean:
Oh My Goodness!! What a difference!
I love paint because of the fresh look, but also because of the minimal cost in the long run. Not everyone can buy a new home, or afford to make over a room. Start out by going to your local home supplier and purchase a quart of paint. A quart goes a long way when you are painting furniture.
Have fun, be creative, and make your home a cozy place to be. Try new colors. Colors you have been longing to try, but don’t just have the courage to use. Give it a try-just one small tester can even will work. If you don’t like it-paint over it!! That’s part of the fun and creativity as well.
Thanks for coming by today. I love your visits and comments. They make me smile everyday.
Make it a terrific Thursday!!
