Mirror Mirror

 
I have a real obsession with mirrors, what can I say, I like to look at myself ... Ha, just kidding.
 I love having them in rooms, they can make a small room look instantly bigger!
If it were up to me, I'd have everywhere, but unfortunately my boyfriend thinks they are creepy..
I purchased the bigger one for $1 at a yard sale and the smaller one was $2.99 at a thrift store. I can't wait to hang them in the powder room (which is getting redone very soon).


How do you feel about mirrors? Creepy? or love?

Talking prints

 
I found these two prints, both are signed by the Artist.
 I got the first one for only .75 cents, and the second one I got for $4.
All I did was ask for a few dollars off, and it worked!
 I always like going to yard sales at the end of the day, people are willing to just give away stuff. Always remember that; if you like something but it was just a little too much for you, make sure to try again later in the day. (If it's not a far drive or walk, whether your going to yard sales or flea markets). It always works for me. If it's meant to be, I'll get it at the price I want. And make sure to be reallyyy sweet, and smile, that helps!
 



When I get some time, I'm going to redo the frames. 
 I will probably frame them in some distressed wood frames.
 I cannot wait to hang them up, they are going to look so good!



 
Have you ever found any art at fabulous prices?

A little change

 
First find was found this past Saturday at a yard sale.
They had $5 on it, but it was later in the day, so I asked for $3, and got it!
They had a whole bunch of different posters; Tomatoes, Corn, Beans, Sunflowers, and Mushrooms (which I later saw a guy selling on Sunday at a Flea Market for $15).  
When I brought it home, I just fell in love with it, it's perfect for this time of the year.
..... the only problem I had was I didn't care for the color of the frame.
So I went to a Local Hardware store, and bought Valspar Primer + Paint in the color 'Copper'.
Spray painted it, within an hour it was dry.
 




 
And the after results put a pretty nice smile on my face.
It looks good paired with some pumpkins, and vintage antlers.
Keeping it simple.
