Simple Home Office

Wednesday, March 4, 2015

I have a somewhat odd space in my house that I could not really figure out what to do with.  I have been wanting a home office and a nice little spot to blog!  So...this was a "dog living room"...Yes that's right, a living room just for my dogs.  It just did not look the way I had imagined AND the dogs always were in my living room with me; therefore it was kind of a wasted space.  Here are pictures of the before and after and just an idea if you are looking to make a simple home office!  Hope you enjoy!









The desks are from Big Lots www.biglots.com
The chairs are from Kirkland's www.kirklands.com
The owl lamps and lamp shades are from Wal-Mart www.walmart.com
The orange candle from Target www.target.com
And the octopus and mermaid are from Ross www.rossstores.com

I have this fabric that I love but could not decide what to do with it, so I decided to use it as a piece of large art for my wall.  Here is how you do it! So easy! (Iron fabric first)

Vintage Golf Bag

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

I found this vintage Burton golf bag at a yard sale...I loved it because of the color, mint green (which is my favorite color).  I just wanted to share some things I think it could be used for in decorating. 
Outside-use on your porch or in your garden and put potted plants in the pockets.
Inside-use fake flower stems coming out of all the pockets and top.
Just hang on the wall as artwork
At the front door to keep umbrellas in the top and shoes in the pockets

Cover with fabric and tie with ribbon on all four corners
Use trivets as coasters (will hold two drinks and looks cool!) $3.99 @ Ross
Wine bottles covered with printed computer paper
Wine glasses ($1 @ Dollar Tree) turned over for candle holders
Total for Coffee Table makeover: $27.97
Rug under Coffee table from Ikea $19.99
I like using 3 curtains on a window...I just think it looks cool

Pillows and wall art are two of my favorite things!
To spruce up a couch add pillows of other colors you have used in the room...don't be afraid that something "won't match"  if you choose colors you have already used it will pull everything together!
These pillows are from Ross and Garden Ridge...ranging from 4.99-9.99.
The throw blanket is from Garden Ridge 9.99.
The vintage magazine covers are just printed from offline and framed with white Dollar tree frames
Arrange art however you would like keeping everything close together.
The key is to not try and make a shape or pattern or measure...just do it.
