My Newest Bargin Found At The Thrift Store

One of my favorite things to do is to go to thrift stores. The Goodwill is only four blocks away from my house and it seems anytime I go there I always find something interesting to buy. This star burst mirror was only $3.00 and it still had the T.J. Max store tag on the back for $19.95! It's now hanging on my wall in a great spot in my office and adds a little flair to the room.

Too Much Wall Space

In my small cottage the living room ceiling has been removed and is now vaulted. This leaves it looking like a little room with tall walls. I had sat there staring at the open space between the living room and kitchen wondering what am I going to do with the blank space. I had several ideas, but knew I wanted something architectural. I found this large iron piece at Hobby Lobby for half price. Though it is not the vintage piece I wanted, I think it will do for now.
