My DIY Bling Pumpkin

September 21, 2013 By Meegan 18 Comments

As you know by now, I enjoy going to thrift stores and finding items and turning them into treasures. I haven’t always done this. It has just been within the last 2 years that I have started this new hobby or obsession. (hehe) I am excited to show you my latest thrift find DIY bling pumpkin. I have been out shopping, really just looking to see the Fall and Halloween decor. I love the feeling of Fall and all the glitter and bling that now adorn the decorations.

I bought this lovely for 75 cents.

I like her chippy look and texture. But, after seeing all the bling and glitter, I thought, “Why not fix this pumpkin up and add a little bling?”

I started off by painted her white, using a flat wall paint.

I have these beautiful rhinestone sticker strips from David Tutera. They are in the wedding accessory aisle at Michaels.

You know how much I love blue, so instead of green, I thought a blue stem would be the perfect touch. The sticker strips are really easy to use. Cut the size you need, peel off the back and you are set.

Once I had my stem ready, I was ready to add the orange bling. I cut strips of 2 and 3 wide for variety.

And Voila! A DIY Bling Pumpkin is just minutes.

For pennies, I now have my own version of bling pumpkin. What do you think?? Doesn’t she look great??

I am happy to share my DIY Bling Pumpkin with you. I love reading your comments and try to respond to everyone.

Living Room Update, Thrifting and Deals

September 17, 2013 By Meegan 14 Comments

Hello Hello! Have you been as busy as I have been? I can only imagine that you have. I am now I am happy to share a living room update, thrifting, and deals.

I have been to just about every thrift store around looking for a new coffee table. Ours is just a little too large for our space. One day I dropped Hubby off at work, saw a Garage Sale sign, and I pulled right in. Looky what I found!!

Yep, I found a new coffee table for $15. He had it marked for $20 but I got it for $15-SCORE! Still wondering if I should paint her. What do you think?

After visiting and looking through several thrift stores the same day, I found this beauty for $3:

It’s a true vintage mirror. It was leaning up against the shelves, on the floor. Just waiting for me to pick her up. I saw the shape and the price and I KNEW I needed her.

I know I shared my living room update a few weeks ago. I mentioned then that I was looking for a new rug.

I shopped and shopped for a new rug. While I looked and browsed I found these candlesticks:

Don’t you love the color blue and the mercury glass together? SO pretty and again, calling my name to buy them…

Can you see why I NEEDED them?? Look at that price!! Target was good to me that day.

While still rug shopping, I bought 3 rugs. Tried them all out, and nothing seemed to work until I found this lovely…

Again, at Target. Doesn’t the rug look great with my $15 coffee table? Love it!!

With the coffee table and new candlesticks, this place is looking great!

Doesn’t she look lovely with the bookshelves???

Here’s the difference:

Yep, I would say I made a great choice. It is light, with a bold print, and just the right colors to add in our living room.

I would say my living room update, thrifting and deals were a great success, wouldn’t you???

What good deals have you found recently? What have you been looking for for awhile to change up your home? For me it was a rug. I am so happy to have finally found one just right for us.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I am blessed to have you here.

Make it a terrific Tuesday!
